My homeowner's insurance may not provide coverage for those injuries. I <br />am willfully acting as an Owner-Builder and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to workers on my prop- <br />erty. <br />c,R <br />iP z I understand building permits are not required to be signed by property owners unless they are responsible for the <br />cdnstruction and are not hiring a licensed Contracto[ to assume this responsibility. <br />r tl I <br />-Y\ f understand as an "Owner-Builder" I am the responsible party of record on the permit.

I understand if I am considered an "employer" under state and Federal law, I must register with the state and federal <br />gov5rnment, withhold payroll taxes, provide workers' compensation disability insurance, and contribute to unemployment com- <br />pg.nsation of each "employee." I also understand my failure to abide by these laws may subJect me to serious financial risk.z.h <br />-) z. t understand under California Contractors' State License Law, an Owner-Builder who builds single-family residential <br />-structures <br />cannot legally build them with the intent to offer them for sale, unless a/l work is performed by licensed subcontrac- <br />tors and the number of structures does not exceed four within any calendar years, or all of the work is performed under contract <br />with a licensed general building Contractor. <br />-l(at\a. f understand as an Owner-Builder if I sell the property for which this permit is issued, I may be held liable for any finan- <br />EiEi-6Tpersonal injuries sustained by any subsequent owne(sj that result from any latent construction defects in the workman- <br />ship or materials.
