What this form is
Florida law lets a property owner build or improve their own one- or two-family residence without a licensed contractor, but only after personally signing this owner-builder disclosure under F.S. 489.103(7). The affidavit confirms the owner understands their legal responsibilities — supervising the work, hiring only licensed subcontractors, and assuming liability — and Pompano Beach withholds permit approval until it is properly executed.
Who needs it
Pompano Beach homeowners pulling a permit as their own contractor (owner-builder) instead of hiring a licensed general contractor.
Why it needs a notary
F.S. 489.103 and the City of Pompano Beach require the owner to personally appear and have the owner-builder disclosure notarized before the permit is issued.
