The provisions of Chapter 489 of
the Florida Statutes allows owners that live
in a property to act as the General Contractor and
apply for Owner Builder permits on that particular
property (construction cost cannot exceed $75,000). If the property is an investment such as a
rental, fixer upper then flip, or commercial
property, the owner cannot apply for the permits and
must hire a licensed General Contractor.
Just like in the case of permits
applied and issued under a General Contractor, the
Owner Builder permit would still need all valid Sub
Contractors for the trade work involved in the
property such as Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing,
Roofing and the like. This work would have to be
done by Sub Contractors with valid State Licenses,
Insurance and supporting documents.
In addition, each building
department will have their own testing methods that
Owners applying for Owner Builder permit will have
to pass to demonstrate that they are familiar with
construction methods and standards for the work that
they are applying to be done. Another consideration
to take into account is that Owners must have their
own liability and workers compensation insurance to
cover any injuries that take place on their
property. They will also be responsible for all work
done by workers on their property. Home insurance
policies ordinarily do not cover this type of
liability.
