DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
F.S. 489.103 (7) EXEMPTIONS
State law requires construction to be done by licensed 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 contractor even though you do not have a license.
You must supervise the construction yourself. You may build or improve farm buildings, a one -family or two-family 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 the building you have built or improved yourself within one year after construction is complete, the
law will presume that you built or improved it for sale or lease, which is a violation of this 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 sure that people employed by you have licenses required by state law and by county or municipal licensing ordinances.
