  1. A building official who issues a permit to the owner of a residence to construct, alter, repair, add to, subtract from, improve, move, wreck or demolish the residence shall, at the same time, deliver to the owner a statement. The owner of the residence shall acknowledge in writing receipt of the statement.  2. The statement delivered by the building official must include the following text:  State law requires construction to be done by licensed contractors. You have applied for a permit under an exemption to that law. The exemption allows you, as the owner of your property, to act as your own contractor with certain restrictions although you do not have a license.  You must directly supervise the construction, on the job, yourself. The building or residence must be for your own use or occupancy. It may not be built or substantially improved for sale or lease. If you sell or lease a building you have built or substantially improved yourself within 1 year after the construction is complete, it is presumed that you built or substantially improved it for sale or lease, which is a violation of this exemption and a violation of chapter 624 of NRS.  You may not hire an unlicensed person to act as your contractor or to supervise people working on your building. It is your responsibility to make sure that people employed by you have the licenses required by state law and by county or municipal licensing ordinances. You may not delegate the responsibility for supervising work to a contractor unless the contractor is licensed to perform the work being done. Any person working on your building who is not licensed must work under your direct supervision and must be employed by you, which means that you must deduct FICA and withholding tax and provide industrial insurance and pay the required contribution for unemployment compensation for that employee, and comply with other state and federal laws relating to employment. Your construction must comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, building codes and zoning regulations.  (Added to NRS by 1997, 2697; A 2001, 1248)
