INSPECTOR Louis Hasbrouck Chuck Miller Building Commissioner Assistant Commissioner 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 backfilf, 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.
