What this form is
Black Diamond’s Community Development Department uses this affidavit when a building permit applicant says the permitted work qualifies for an exemption from contractor registration. The applicant identifies the exemption and attests that the work will not be performed by a registered contractor; the form also warns that engaging an unregistered contractor may waive certain rights. Its second and third pages reproduce the exemptions listed in RCW 18.27.090 to help applicants identify the applicable exemption.
Who needs it
A person applying for a Black Diamond building permit who considers the permitted work exempt from contractor registration and will not use a registered contractor needs this affidavit.
Why it needs a notary
The applicant signs the form’s “SUBSCRIBED and SWORN to before me” jurat before the notary, who completes the notary block for the State of Washington.
