Property Owner Waiver Minnesota State Contractor Licensing Requirements The purpose of this form is to have property owners acknowledge their responsibilities to the Minnesota State Building Code, to Zoning Ordinances, and to other applicable rules and regulations when they are acting as general contractor on building projects. 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 waiver, I attest to the fact that I am building or improving my property by myself. I claim to be exempt from the State License requirements because I am not in the business of building on speculation or for resale, and this is the first residential structure that I have built or improved in the past 24 months. I 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 Minnesota State Statute 514.01. Furthermore, I acknowledge that I may be hiring independent contractors to perform certain aspects of the construction or improvement of this property. 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 Minnesota State Statute 326.92, subdivision 1, and that I forfeit my rights to reimbursement from the Contractor s Recovery Fund in the event that any contractors that I hire are unlicensed. I have also been informed and acknowledge that by listing myself as the contractor on this project, I am solely and personally responsible for any violations of the State Building Code and/or City Ordinances in connection with the work performed on the property. Signature of Property Owner Date Project Address Please return this signed waiver with the Building Permit Application. To determine whether a particular contractor is required to be licensed, or to check on the licensing status of an individual contractor, please call the Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry, Construction Codes and Licensing Division at (651) 284-5005 or toll-free at 1-800-657-3944. EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program The RRP Rule affects contractors, property managers, and others who disturb lead-based paint during renovation. The RRP Rule requires that firms paid to perform renovation, repair, demolition, or painting work in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities have their firm certified by EPA. Additionally, the Minnesota Legislature passed a law that is intended to work in conjunction with Federal lead law(s). Essentially, the law requires local municipal building departments to be part of this Federal mandate by requiring each municipal building department to verify contractor compliance with Federal mandated lead certification requirements at the time of permitting. Local building departments are not responsible for any additional type of enforcement of the law; but simply to verify firm certification compliance.
