What this form is
The package includes a residential building permit application, an unlicensed residential builder’s disclosure and homeowner acknowledgment, a prime contractor statement, subcontractor lists, and building permit submittal requirements. Port Royal applicants use the application to provide project, property, and contractor information; owners claiming the unlicensed-builder exemption complete the acknowledgment. The package says the disclosure and property description attachment must be filed with the Beaufort County Register of Deeds.
Who needs it
Property owners and contractors applying for a Port Royal residential building permit may need the package, with the homeowner acknowledgment completed by an owner claiming the unlicensed-builder exemption.
Why it needs a notary
The homeowner acknowledgment carries an acknowledgment-before-me block; the property owner signs the disclosure before a notary, who completes the acknowledgment and commission-expiration information.
