Owner-Builder Affidavit
Disclosure statement required for homeowners applying for a building permit as their own contractor under Florida's owner-builder exemption.
What this form is
This form confirms that you understand the legal requirements and restrictions of acting as your own contractor on a residential or small commercial project. Under Florida Statute 489.103, property owners can self-perform construction on certain projects without a contractor license, but you must sign this disclosure to acknowledge your responsibilities, liability, and the prohibition against building for resale or lease.
Who needs it
Property owners applying for a building permit who plan to act as their own contractor rather than hiring a licensed general contractor.
Why it needs a notary
Florida law requires the owner-builder affidavit to be notarized to verify your identity and confirm that you voluntarily signed the disclosure statements with full understanding of the legal obligations.
