What this form is
When the contractor of record changes mid-project, Florida City requires this affidavit certifying that a new responsible contractor has taken over the work at the named property. It holds the City of Florida City harmless against any legal action by the former permit holder and confirms the change is made freely and voluntarily by all parties. Both the new contractor and the property owner sign, and the signatures must be notarized.
Who needs it
Florida City owners and contractors transferring an active building permit to a new contractor after the original contractor leaves the job.
Why it needs a notary
