An agent of the owner cannot execute this notice unless you, the property owner, obtain the prior approval of the permitting authority. MENT AND VERIFICATION OF INFORMA DIRECTIONS: Read and initial each statement below to signify you understand or verify this infomation. eG 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 licensed Conlractor to assume this responsibility. GC g. t understand as an "Owner-Builder" I am the responsible party of record on the permit. I understand that I may protect myself from potential flnancial risk by hiring a licensed Contractor and having the permit filed in his or her name instead of my own. GG 4. I understand Contractors are required bylawtobe licensed and bonded in California and to listtheir license numbers on permits and contracts. (; G 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 "employe/' under state and federal law. GG 6. I understand if I am 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 com- pensation of each "employee." I also understand my failure to abide by these laws may subject me to serious flnancial risk. G G 7 . 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 licensed subcontrac- tors 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. G G 8. I understand as an Owner-Builder if I sell the property for which this permit is issued, I may be held liable for any finan- cial or personal injuries sustained by any subsequent owner(s) that result from any latent construction defects in the workman- ship or materials. &(; t. t understand a frequent practice of unlicensed persons is to have the property owner obtain an "Owner-Builder" build- ing permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is providing 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 in.iuries 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 injuries. I am willfully acting as an Owner-Builder and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to workers on my prop- erty. CG S. I understand I may obtain more information regarding my obli.o.ations as an "employer" from the lnternal Revenue Ser- v;ce, the United States Small Business Administration, the California Department of Benefit Payments, and the California DivF sion of lndustrial Accidents. I also understand I may contact the California Contractors' State License Board (CSLB) at 'l -800- 321-CSLB (2752) or www.cslb.ca.qov for more information about licensed contractors. dress GG ll.l 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. GC lZ. t 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.
