1. I understand a frequent practice of unlicensed persons is to have the property owner obtain an
wner-Builder" building permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is providing his or her
own labor and material personally. I, 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 injuries. I am willfully
acting as an Owner -Builder and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to workers
on m�property.

state and federal government, withhold payroll taxes, provide workers' compensation disability insurance,

by these laws may subject me to serious financial risk.

single-family residential structures cannot legally build them with the intent to offer them for sale, unless
all work is performed by licensed subcontractors and the number of structures does not exceed four

�Conttrractor.

financial loss you may sustain as a result of a complaint. Your only remedy against unlicensed
Contractors may be in civil court. It 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. If you obtain a permit as Owner -Builder and wish to hire Contractors, you will be responsible
for verifying whether or not those Contractors are properly licensed and the status of their workers'
compensation insurance coverage.
