LOT: BLOCK: SUBDIVISION: ___________________________________________
I am submitting an application for a Building Permit as an Owner-Builder in accordance with the exemption set forth in
Florida Statute 489.103. Florida law requires construction to be done by a licensed contractor. It’s a requirement by law
you read and sign the following statements, and hence you can understand your responsibilities as an owner-builder. By
signing the following statements, you attest that:
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
(Read and Initial to the left of each statement)
1. I understand that state law requires construction to be done by a licensed contractor and have applied for an
owner-builder permit under an exemption from the law. The exemption specifies that I, as the owner of the
property listed, may act as my own contractor with certain restrictions even though I do not have a license.
2. I understand that building permits are not required to be signed by a property owner unless he or she is
responsible for the construction and is not hiring a licensed contractor to assume responsibility.
3. I understand that, as an owner-builder, I am the responsible party of record on a 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 name. I also understand that a contractor is required by law to be licensed in Florida and to
list his or her license numbers on permits and contracts.
4. I understand that I may build or improve a one-family or two-family residence or a farm outbuilding. I may also
build or improve a commercial building if the costs do not exceed $75,000. The building or residence must be for my
own use or occupancy. It may not be built or substantially improved for sale or lease. If a building or residence that I
have built or substantially improved myself is sold or leased within 1 year after the construction is complete, the law
will presume that I built or substantially improved it for sale or lease, which violates the exemption.
5. I understand that, as the owner-builder, I must provide direct, onsite supervision of the construction.
6. I understand that I may not hire an unlicensed person to act as my contractor or to supervise persons working
on my building or residence. It is my responsibility to ensure that the persons whom I employ have the licenses
required by law and by county or municipal ordinance.
7. I understand that it is a frequent practice of unlicensed persons to have the property owner obtain an owner-
builder permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is providing his or her own labor and materials. I, as
an owner-builder, may be held liable and subjected to serious financial risk for any injuries sustained by an
unlicensed person or 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.
8. I understand that I may not delegate the responsibility for supervising work to a licensed contractor who is not
licensed to perform the work being done. Any person working on my building who is not licensed must work under
my direct supervision and must be employed by me, which means that I must comply with laws requiring the
withholding of federal income tax and social security contributions under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act
(FICA) and must provide workers’ compensation for the employee. I understand that my failure to follow these laws
may subject me to serious financial risk.
9. I 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. I also understand that the
construction must comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, building codes, and zoning regulations.

10. I understand that I may obtain more information regarding my obligations as an employer from the Internal
Revenue Service, the United States Small Business Administration, the Florida Department of Financial Services, and
the Florida Department of Revenue. I also understand that I may contact the Florida Construction Industry Licensing
Board at (telephone number) or (Internet website address) for more information about licensed contractors.
11. I am aware of, and consent to, an owner-builder building permit applied for in my name and understand that I
am the party legally and financially responsible for the proposed construction activity at the address listed above.
12. I agree to notify (issuer of disclosure statements) immediately of any additions, deletions, or changes to any
of the information that I have provided on this disclosure.
Licensed contractors are regulated by laws designed to protect the public. If you contract with a person who does not
have a license, the Construction Industry Licensing Board and Department of Business and Professional Regulation may
be unable to assist you with any financial loss that you sustain as a result of a complaint. Your only remedy against an
unlicensed contractor may be in civil court. It is also important for you to understand that, if an unlicensed contractor or
employee of an individual or firm is injured while working on your property, you may be held liable for damages. If you
obtain an owner-builder permit and wish to hire a licensed contractor, you will be responsible for verifying whether the
contractor is properly licensed and the status of the contractor’s workers’ compensation coverage.
Before a building permit can be issued, this disclosure statement must be completed and signed by the property owner
and returned to the local permitting agency responsible for issuing the permit. A copy of the property owner’s driver
license, the notarized signature of the property owner, or other type of verification acceptable to the local permitting
agency is required when the permit is issued.
I have read the foregoing instructions and I am aware of my responsibilities.
