We are providing you with an Owner-Builder Acknowledqment and lnformation Verification Form lo make you aware of
your responsibilities and possible risk you may incur by having this permit issued in your names as the Owner-Builder.
We will not issue a building permit until you have read, initialed your understanding of each provision, signed, and returned
this form to us at our official address indicated. An agent of the owner cannot execute this notice unless you, the property
owner, obtain the prior approval of the permitting authority.
OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND VERIFICATION OF INFORMATON
DIRECTIONS: Read and initial each statement below to signify you understand or verify this information.
( l. I understand a frequent practice of unlicensed persons is to have the property owner obtain an "Owner-Builder"
building permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is provjding his or her own labor and material personally. l,
as an Owner-Builder, may be held liable and subject to serious financial risk for any injuries sustained by an unlicensed
person and his or her employees while working on my property. My homeowner's insurance may not provide coverage for
those iniuries. I am willfully acting as an Owner-Builder and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to
workers on my property.
t/ 2. I understand building permits are not required to be signed by property owners unless they are responsible for
the construction and are not hiring a Iicensed Contractor to assume this responsibility.
J S. I understand as an "Owner-Builder" I am the responsible party of record on the permit. I understand that I may
protect myself from potential financial risk by hiring a licensed Contractor and having the permit filed in his or her name
instead of my own.
-"/ q. lunderstand Contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in California and to list their license
numbers on permits and contracts.
V 5. I understand if I employ or otherwise engage any persons, other than California licensed Contractors, and the
total value of my construction is at least five hundred dollars ($500), including labor and materials, I may be considered an
"employer" under state and federal law.
,/ 6. I understand if lam considered an "employer" under state and Federal law, I must register with the state and
federal government, withhold payroll taxes, provide workers' compensation disability insurance, and contribute to
unemployment compensation of each "employee." I also understand my failure to abide by these laws may sub.iect me to
serious financial risk.
t/ L I understand under California Contractors' State License Law, an Owner-Builder who builds single-family
residential structures cannot legally build them with the intent to offer them for sale, unless a//work is performed by

Dear Property Owner:
licensed subcontractors and the number of structures does not exceed four within any calendar years, or all of the work is
performed under contract with a licensed general building Contractor.
/ A. I understand as an Owner-Builder if I sell the property for which this permit is issued, I may be held liable for any
financial or personal injuries sustained by any subsequent owner(s) that result from any latent construction defects in the
workmanship or materials.
,,/ 9. I understand I may obtain more information regarding my obligations as an "employer" from the lnternal Revenue
Service, the United States Small Business Administration, the California Department of Benefit Payments, and the
California Division of lndustrial Accidents. I also understand I may contact the California Contractors' State License Board
(CSLB) at 1-8OO-321-CSLB (2752) or www.cslb.ca.oov for more information about licensed contractors.
,/ 10.I am aware of and consent to an Owner-Builder building permit applied for in my name, and understand that I am
the party legally and financially responsible for proposed construction activity at the following
V 11.I agree that, as the party legally and financially responsible for this proposed construction activity, I will abide by
all applicable laws and requirements that govern Owner-Builders as well as employers.
V 12. I agree to notify the issuer of this form immediately of any additions, deletions, or changes to any of the
information I have provided on this form.
Licensed contractors are regulated by laws designed to protect the public. lf you contract with someone who does not
have a license, the Contractors' State License Board may be unable to assist you with any financial loss you may sustain
as a result of a complaint. Your only remedy against unlicensed Contractors may be in civil court. lt is also important for
you to understand that if an unlicensed Contractor or employee of that individual or firm is injured while working on your
property, you may be held liable for damages. lf you obtain a permit as Owner-Builder and wish to hire Contactors, you will
be responsible for verifying whether or not those Contractors are properly licensed and the status of their workers'
compensation insurance coverage.
