Hello,
We are almost ready to sign the contract on a new Gunite Pool in Phoenix AZ with a local Pool builder. He was asking us to get the City permit as a owner builder. Now we are not managing the whole process like a true Owner builder. He mentioned that It was cheaper to do so and if need be, He is ready to do it but the tax would be more. The other bids we had would all get the permits themselves and sure enough their tax was higher than this PB. I am not sure if there are liability concerns I should be aware of if I get the permit as a owner builder. He mentioned this was not the case as He would be listed as the Pool Contractor on the permit. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks for your help in advance.
