Property Owner’s Package (Owner-Builder Disclosures & Forms)
This package contains owner-builder disclosures and forms for Hillsborough property owners applying for a construction permit in their own name.
What this form is
The package explains owner-builder responsibilities and provides an acknowledgment form that the property owner must complete before the Town issues a building permit in the owner’s name. It also includes an authorization form for owners who designate an agent to apply for an owner-builder permit. The forms ask for the project address, owner and agent details, acknowledgments, and signatures.
Who needs it
Hillsborough property owners applying for a construction permit as owner-builders need to complete the acknowledgment; those designating an agent also complete the authorization form.
How to submit it
Return the completed acknowledgment to the agency responsible for issuing the permit at 1600 Floribunda Ave., Hillsborough, CA 94010. The document says to present a copy of the owner’s driver’s license, form notarization, or other agency-accepted verification when the permit is issued.
About notarization
