Owner-Builder Affidavit
Affidavit required for homeowners applying for a building permit to perform construction or demolition work on their own property without a contractor license.
What this form is
This affidavit discloses the legal requirements and restrictions for owner-builders in Florida. As an owner-builder, you can supervise construction on your own single-family or two-family residence, farm building, or commercial project under $75,000 without a state contractor license. The form confirms you understand that you must provide direct onsite supervision, the work is for your own use and occupancy, and you accept legal and financial responsibility for the project.
Who needs it
Property owners who want to act as their own contractor and pull a building permit for construction or demolition work on their own residential or commercial property.
Why it needs a notary
This affidavit must be notarized because it is a sworn statement where you confirm under oath your ownership of the property, your understanding of owner-builder restrictions, and your acceptance of legal responsibility for the construction work.
