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.

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