“DO IT YOURSELF” FORM (If Property Owner is General Contractor)
(Form C)
I understand that the State of Minnesota requires that all residential building contractors, remodelers and roofers obtain a state license unless they qualify for a specific exemption from the licensing requirements. By signing this document, I attest to the fact that I am building or improving this house myself. I hereby claim to be exempt from the state licensing requirements because I am not in the business of building on speculation or for resale and that the house for which I am applying for this permit located at __________________________________, is the first residential structure I have built or improved in the past 24 months. I also acknowledge that because I do not have a state license, I forfeit any mechanic’s lien rights to which I may otherwise have been entitled under Minn. Stat. 514.01. Furthermore, I acknowledge that I may be hiring independent contractors to perform certain aspects of the construction or improvement of this house and I understand that some of these contractors may be required to be licensed by the State of Minnesota. I understand that unlicensed residential contracting, remodeling, and/or roofing activity is a misdemeanor under Minn. Stat. 326.91, subd. 1, and that I would forfeit my rights to reimbursement from the Contractor’s Recovery Fund in the event that any contractors I hire are unlicensed. I also acknowledge that as the contractor on this project, I am solely and personally responsible for any violations of this state building code and/or city ordinance in connection with the work performed on this property.

The purpose of this optional form is to have the “home-owner” acknowledge their responsibility of code and statue issues in the building of their home when they are acting as a general contractor.
