535 Chapel Lane - Specific Exemption from Licensing Form BUILDING PERMIT APPLICANT: PROPERTY OWNER
I, J , l 0 (,(., , 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. This
license requirement applies to owners of residential real estate who build or improve
such property for purposes of speculation or resale.
By signing this document, I attest to the fact that I am improving this house for my own
use and am not building or improving this house for the purpose of reselling it. I hereby
claim to be exempt from the state residential building contractor licensing
requirements because I am not in the business of building or remodeling on speculation
or for resale and that the house for which I am applying for this permit, located at
j3 54-G. W , Eagan is the only residential structure I have
built or improved in the past 24 months.
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. § 326B.082, subd. 16 and can also result in a fine of
up to $10,000. I further state that I understand that the filing of a false statement with
the City of Eagan may also result in criminal prosecution and/or civil penalties pursuant
to applicable city ordinances and/or state statutes.
I have also been informed and acknowledge that by listing myself as the contractor for
this project, I alone will be responsible to the City of Eagan for compliance with all
applicable building codes and city ordinances in connection with the work being
performed on this property. I also understand that if I hire an unlicensed contractor,
my only recourse in the event I have a dispute with my contractor will be to pursue
private civil action (lawsuit) against the contractor, and that even if I am successful in a
lawsuit, I will not be able to make a claim for compensation from the Contractor
Recovery Fund, the state's consumer protection program for licensed contractors.
