Homeowners Acting as Contractors 

If you are a homeowner acting as your own general contractor or obtaining a building permit in your own name, please review our Homeowner as Contractor Disclaimer document. If you are using a contractor to perform work on your home and the contractor asks you to get the permit – say “No!” This is a red flag. Call the City and see if the contractor is licensed and insured.
