OWNER'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION °
DIRECTIONS: Read and initial each statement below to signify you understand or verify this informatio.l.
_%� 1. 1 understand a frequent practice of unlicensed persons is to have the property owner obtain sr.
"Owner -Builder" building permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is providing his c- 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 wo-kiny
on my property. My homeowner's insurance may not provide coverage for those injuries. 1 am willfu,ly
acting as an Owner -Builder and am aware of the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to worka.-s
on my property.
UM 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 Contractor to assume this responsibility.
O3. 1 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.
4. 1 understand Contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in California and to list
their license numbers on permits and contracts.
tl✓ 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.
_yy,L,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 compensation for each "employee." I also understand my failure to abide
by these laws may subject me to serious financial risk.
U7. 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
all work is performed by licensed subcontractors and the number of structures does not exceed four
within any calendar year, or all of the work is performed under contract with a licensed general building
Contractor.
\JV__8. 1 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. 1 understand I may obtain more information regarding my obligations as an "employer" from the
n ernal Revenue Service, the United States Small Business Administration, the California Department of
Benefit Payments, and the California Division of Industrial Accidents. I also understand I may contact the
California Contractors' State License Board (CSLB) at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752) or www.csib.ca.gov for
more information about licensed contractors.

any of the information I have provided on this form.
Licensed contractors are regulated by laws designed to protect the public. If 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. 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'
ccmprnsation insurance coverage.
