The undersigned hereby applies for special consideration as a property owner desiring to build or serve as general contractor for property owned by and intended to be utilized by same. In making this request for an owner/builder permit, the undersigned states the following to be true.
• Applicant agrees the building or structure is located on real property owned by said applicant and is intended upon completion for use or occupancy by applicant and/or applicant’s family, firm, or corporation and its employees and will not be used by the general public and not offered for sale or lease.
• Applicant shall serve as the general contractor and accept inherent responsibilities for the work authorized by the approved permit in accordance with Georgia’s licensing law pertaining to residential and general contractors.
• If applicant is not installing the electrical, plumbing, or HVAC as building owner, he/she agrees to hire properly licensed electrical, plumbing and mechanical contractors. As general contractor, applicant may contract with traditional specialty contractors or limited service specialty contractors who are not required to hold a license as a residential or general contractor if performing within their specialty as provided for under O.C.G.A. 43-41-17, but applicant may not contract with another to hire sub-contractors without that person being licensed as required by the state.
• Should applicant sell the home/building within 24 months following issuance of certificate of occupancy, applicant understands he/she will not be allowed to permit another home/building unless applicant is duly licensed by the state of Georgia.
• Applicant agrees to build in accordance with applicable codes and strictly adhere to the inspections as required by the jurisdiction. Undersigned acknowledges inspections must be performed in an established sequence as required by the jurisdiction and work done in violation of building codes must be corrected or may be ordered removed. The applicant understands the building inspector may require licensed contractors to perform work if applicant is unable to competently complete the project.
• Applicant acknowledges that he/she is aware that a permit issued under the provisions of the code may be revoked for false statements of misrepresentations as to the material fact in the application on which the permit was based.
• Applicant acknowledges that making false statements in the permit application will subject said applicant to possible prosecution and/or fine. Georgia Criminal Code, Article 2, Section 16-10-20 (false swearing) calls for a possible fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not less than one nor more than five years or both.
By checking the "I agree" box, you agree and acknowledge that 1) your application will not be signed in the sense of a traditional paper document, 2) by signing in this alternate manner, you authorize your electronic signature to be valid and binding upon you to the same force and effect as a handwritten signature, and 3) you may still be required to provide a traditional signature at a later date.
