residence or a commercial building at a cost of under $25,000.00.
The building must be for your own occupancy. It may not be built
or improved for sale or lease. If you sell or lease more than one
building you have built or improved yourself within one-year after

exemption. You may not hire an unlicensed person as your
contractor. Your construction -must be done according to building
codes and zoning -regulations. It is your responsibility to make
