Owner-Builder Acknowledgment and Property Owner’s Package
Property owners complete this package to acknowledge owner-builder responsibilities and provide information for a construction permit applied for in their name.
What this form is
This package explains owner-builder responsibilities and includes an acknowledgment and verification form for property owners whose construction permit lists them as the builder. The city says it will not issue the permit until the owner reads, initials, signs, and returns the form. It also includes an agent authorization form for owners who designate someone to apply for the permit on their behalf.
Who needs it
Property owners applying for a construction permit in their own name as an owner-builder must complete and return the acknowledgment form.
How to submit it
Return the completed form to the Department of Building and Safety at 31516 Railroad Canyon Road, Canyon Lake, California 92587. The document says a copy of the owner’s driver’s license or other acceptable signature verification must be presented when the permit is issued.
About notarization
This document is signed without a notary; the agent authorization includes a declaration under penalty of perjury, and the owner’s signature may be verified by a driver’s license or other accepted method.
