Owner-Builder Warning

Pulling Owner/Builder Permits is Risky Business!

If you do not intend to do the work yourself and have been asked by someone without a contractor’s license to pull the permit, you are at risk of financial harm both by penalty and injury.

Chapter 489.103 (7), Florida Statutes:  Owners of property must supervise the work being performed. Any person working on your building who is not licensed must be employed by you, which means that you must deduct F.I.C.A. and withholding tax and provide workers' compensation for that employee.

Without workers’ compensation insurance, you could be held liable for injuries received on your property. Typically, your homeowners’ insurance policy will not honor your claim if the work being performed requires a licensed contractor. You could end up responsible for thousands of dollars of medical bills.

Not only is it dangerous, but it's also a crime.

Chapter 455.227, Florida Statutes: Any person who knowingly aids, assists, procures, employs, or advises an unlicensed individual can be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor and may face fines of up to $5,000 for each offense. 

For more information, speak with your local building department before you apply for a permit or contact the Department of Business and Professional Regulation at 850.487.1395 or online at www.MyFlorida.com/dbpr.
