Owner-Builder Requirements Form
Disclosure document that owner-builders must sign and have notarized to confirm they understand their legal obligations and responsibilities when acting as their own contractor.
What this form is
This form is a mandatory disclosure that property owners must acknowledge before receiving an owner-builder permit exemption in Florida. It outlines the legal requirements and restrictions for owners who choose to act as their own contractor, including proof-of-ownership requirements, direct-supervision obligations, and liability responsibilities. The owner must personally sign and have the form notarized to demonstrate understanding of these obligations.
Who needs it
Property owners who are applying for a building permit and plan to act as their own contractor instead of hiring a licensed contractor.
Why it needs a notary
Florida law requires the owner to personally appear and sign this acknowledgment, and notarization confirms the owner's identity and voluntary acceptance of the owner-builder responsibilities and legal obligations outlined in the disclosure.
