HOME OWNER EXEMPTION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The State of Massachusetts allows the homeowner the right under 780CMR 108.3.4 to act as his/her
construction supervisor. The state defines "Homeowner" as, " Person(s) who owns a parcel on which
he/she resides or intends to be, a one or two family dwelling, attached or detached 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 home owner."
The building department for the City of Northampton wants any person(s)who seek to use the home
owner exemption, to act as their own construction supervisor, to be aware that by doing so you
become responsible for compliance with state building codes and regulations. The inspection
process requires that the building department be called to inspect work at various stages, which include
foundation/footings (before backfill) sonotube holes (before pour), a rough building inspection
(before work is concealed), insulation inspection (if required) and a final building inspection.
The building department requires these inspections before the work is concealed, failure to secure
these inspections can result in failure to obtain a certificate of occupancy until the work can be
inspected.
If the homeowner hires other trades to perform work (electrical, plumbing & gas) the homeowner will be
responsible to make sure that the trades hired secure their proper permits in conjunction to the building
permit issued, and that they get their required inspections. Failure of the individual trades to secure
the permits and inspections as required can DELAY the project until such time as the proper permits
and inspections are made
I, understand the above.
(Home owner/resident's signature requesting exemption)
I will call to schedule all required building inspections necessary for the building permit issued to me.
