DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
F.S. 489.503 (6 EXEMPTIONS
State law requires electrical contracting to be done by licensed electrical contractors. You have applied for a permit
under an exemption to that law. The exemption allows you, as the owner of your property, to act as your own electrical
contractor even though you do not have a license. You may install electrical wiring for a farm outbuilding or a single-family or
duplex residence. You may install electrical wiring in a commercial building the aggregate construction costs of which are
under $2.5,000. The home or building must be for your own use and occupancy. It may not be built for sale or lease. Ifyou
sell or lease more than one building you have wired yourself within 1 year after the construction is complete, the law will
presume that you built it for sale or lease, which is a violation of this exemption. You may not hire an unlicensed person as
you'r'electrical contractor. Your construction shall be done according to building codes and zoning regulations. It is your
responsibility to make sure that people employed by you have licenses required by state law and by county or municipal
licensing ordinances. Failure to do so may result in a liability for you!

application.
