General Contractor License required to Flip in California`
Hey Community,
i have a questions specific to California and the bay Area in particular. I recently purchased a property to flip in Berkeley, CA. When i went to get permits for the work as an Owner-builder, the building official required me to sign a form stating i will be doing the work as an owner builder and that i could not sell it within a year. This was alarming to me because i plan to sell right when we are finished with the construction and rehab. I head from some people that it doesn't matter, and all i really had to do during time of sale was disclose what work i did as an owner builder. Can someone elaborate on this? Is a General Contractor's License required for flip projects within a year when getting a permit?? This will at least ad 10-15% into my labor costs.
