Property Owner’s Package & Owner-Builder Acknowledgments
Property owners applying for a construction permit as owner-builders use this package to acknowledge their responsibilities and, if needed, authorize an agent.
What this form is
This package provides an owner-builder acknowledgment and verification form, plus an agent authorization form for property owners applying for construction permits. The city says the owner must read, initial, sign, and return the acknowledgment before a building permit can be issued. It asks about the project and property, confirms the owner’s understanding of responsibilities, and lets the owner identify an authorized agent when applicable.
Who needs it
Property owners applying for a construction permit in their own name as owner-builders need to complete the acknowledgment, and those designating an agent also complete the authorization.
How to submit it
Return the completed form to the Community Development Department, Building Division, at 221 West Pine St. or PO Box 3006, Lodi, CA 95241. The document says a copy of the owner’s driver’s license, form notarization, or other verification acceptable to the agency must be presented when the permit is issued.
About notarization
This document has no notary block and does not require notarization; it says notarization is one optional form of signature verification at permit issuance, alongside a driver’s-license copy or other acceptable verification.
