The current exemption of"Homeowners" was extended to include owner-occupied

structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures. A person who constructs more
than one home in a two year period shall not be considered a homeowner. Such
"homeowner" shall submit to the Building Official, on a form acceptable to the Building

Homeowner's Exemption
The Code states that: "Any Homeowner performing work for which a Building Permit is
required shall be exempt from the provisions of this section (Section 109.1 —Licensing of
Construction Supervisors);provided that a Homeowner engages a person(s) for hire to do
such work, and the Homeowner shall act as Supervisor."
Many Homeowners who use this exemption are unaware that they are assuming the
responsibilities of a Supervisor(see Appendix Q, Rules and Regulations for Licensing of
Construction Supervisors, Section 2.15). This lack of awareness often results in serious
problems, particularly when the Homeowner hires unlicensed persons. In this case your
Board cannot proceed against the unlicensed person as it would with a licensed
Supervisor. The Homeowner acting as Supervisor is ultimately responsible.
To ensure that the Homeowner is fully aware of his/her responsibilities, many
communities require, as part of the Permit Application, that the Homeowner certify that
he/she understands the Responsibilities of a Supervisor. On the last page of this issue is a
form currently used by several towns. You may care to amend and adopt such a
form/certification for use in your community.
