OWNER AFFIDAVIT

When a permit application lists the property owner as performing the work, the expectation is that the actual labors are being performed by the property owner.

The Village of Schaumburg encourages owners to invest in their property and the codes adopted by the village to allow for property owners to perform work on their own homes.

To protect property owners and property values throughout the village, all contractors are required to be licensed either with the village or the State of Illinois.

I have read this form and understand that the village inspectors may stop or delay a project if any contractor is found performing work under this permit without a proper license.

Please note that residences which are rental properties are required to use licensed contractors for any and all work performed on such properties for the life safety of the tenants.

Plumbing work may be performed by the owner listed above provided her or she expects to exclusively occupy the premises listed above for a period of not less than 6 months after the completion of the project.

By signing and submitting this document you are agreeing to this Owner Affidavit.
