Owner-Builder Permit Package
Property owners use this package to apply for a construction permit as an owner-builder and provide required acknowledgments, verifications, and project information.
What this form is
This package includes owner-builder acknowledgment and verification forms, an optional authorized-agent form, a construction permit application, and a plan-review checklist. The City says the owner must complete and return the acknowledgment before it issues an owner-builder building permit; the agent form is for owners who designate someone to act on their behalf. The forms ask for owner, project, contractor, insurance, and permit details.
Who needs it
Property owners applying for a construction permit in their own name as owner-builders need the acknowledgment and verification form; those appointing an agent may also complete the agent form.
How to submit it
Return the completed owner acknowledgment to the Building Division at 760 Mattie Road, Pismo Beach, CA 93449. The plan-review checklist says to submit documents in PDF format to the Building Permit Technician.
About notarization
This package does not require notarization; the owner’s signature may instead be verified by a driver’s-license copy, notarization, or other verification acceptable to the Building Division.
