We are providing you with an Owner -Builder Acknowledgment and Information Verification Form to make you aware of
your responsibilities and possible risk you may incur by having this permit issued in your name as the Owner -Builder. We

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 INFORMATION
(DIRECTIONS: Please read and initial each statement below to signify you understand or verify this information.)
i . 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 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 my property.
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.
J 3. 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.
�4. I understand Contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in California and to list their license
numbers on permits and contracts.
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 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.
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 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.
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 financial or personal injuries sustained by any subsequent owner(s) that result from any latent construction
defects in the workmanship or materials.
