I am willfully acting as an owner-contractor and am aware that my homeowner's insurance may not provide coverage for those injuries. • I understand that a building permit obtained by the property owner who falsifies information to obtain an exemption provided under RCW 18.27.090 will be forfeited and I may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.
