What this form is

The application collects owner, property, contractor, project, and construction-value information and lists supporting documents and inspections that may apply. Campbell requires a building permit before covered work begins; applications must first be reviewed by the Town of Campbell Zoning Officer and then submitted to the county for final approval. A homeowner seeking the specified workers’ compensation exemption may also complete the included BP-I affidavit.

Who needs it

Property owners or contractors planning covered construction or other listed work in Campbell must submit the application and required supporting documents before work begins.

Why it needs a notary

The included BP-I exemption affidavit has a “Sworn to before me” jurat; the homeowner claiming the exemption signs that affidavit before a notary.
