may build or improve farm outbuildings, a one -family or 1�o-family residence for your use and occupancy. You
may also build or improve a commercial building at a cost not exceeding $75,000.00 as long as it is for your own
use or occupancy. You may not build or improve said structures for the purposes of selling or leasing that building.
You may not hire an unlicensed person to act as your contractor or to supervise people working on your building; 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. Initial Here. ON

presumption is created that it was built or improved for sale r lease, which is a violation of this exemption.
