Is an owner a contractor?

An owner-builder is what the term indicates: a person owns the property and acts as their own general contractor on the job, and either does the work themselves or has employees (or subcontractors) working on the project.

What happens if you build without a permit in California?

Contractors who violate the law are subject to disciplinary action by CSLB, including civil penalty assessments of up to $5,000 per violation, an order of correction that requires payment of permit fees and any assessed penalties imposed by the local building department, and suspension or revocation of the license.

Can I build my own house without a contractor in California?

Anyone can build or remodel their home. In California, there are guidelines for non-licensed owner-builders making alterations to their property. These laws are put in place to protect the public. If a home is not built correctly, it becomes a safety hazard to its surrounding area.

Can I remodel my own home in California?

According to the California Building Standards Code, no building or structure may be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, improved, removed, converted or demolished unless a separate permit for each building or structure has first been obtained from the building official.

Can you legally build your own house in California?
