____11. 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.

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’ compensation insurance coverage.
Before a building permit can be issued, this form must be completed and signed by the property owner and returned
to the agency responsible for issuing the permit. Note: A copy of the property owner’s driver’s license, form
notarization, or other verification acceptable to the agency is required to be presented when the permit is issued to
verify the property owner’s signature.
