***ALL OF THE ABOVE INFORMATION IS MANDATORY***
Owner-Builder Disclosure Statement
Provide property address under Statement #11.
Provide copy of property owner’s Florida Driver License.
Provide notarized property owner signature at end of Disclosure 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 be 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 (850)487-1395 or call.center@dbpr.state.fl.us 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
following address:_________________________________________________________________
12. I agree to notify the City Of Oakland Park 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.
