Affidavit for Virginia Contractor’s Licensing Law – Please Read
I affirm that I am the owner/agent of a certain tract above located in Greene County and that I have applied for a permit
to erect a structure on said land and/or repair/improve structure on said land. I certify that I have the
consensus/approval of all property owners to apply for this permit.
I affirm that I am aware of provisions of Title 54.1 Chapter 11, Code of Virginia that requires a contractor to be
properly licensed before he may bid or undertake contracting work of $1,000 or more. I further certify that I am
familiar with the responsibilities of a awarding authority specified in Section 54.1111 of the Code which prohibits any
awarding authority from issuing permits or allowing the issuance of such permits to any contractor not properly
licensed under the provisions of the Code, and that to do so would constitute the commission of a misdemeanor.
This permit becomes null and void if work or construction authorized is not commenced within 6 months, or if
construction or work is suspended or abandoned for a period of 6 months at any time after work is commenced.
It is my responsibility to insure adherence to all zoning, building and erosion/sediment control regulations applicable in
this jurisdiction. I understand that state law prohibits illegal contracting. All contractors need a state and county
license.

AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF AN EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN
FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES/ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
PERMIT #: _______________
In lieu of submitting a formal erosion and sediment control plan for the construction of a single family
residence and/or accessory structure, I agree to comply with the requirements of the Virginia Erosion and
Sediment Control Handbook, latest edition, and install erosion control measures in accordance with the
Handbook standards & specifications in order to protect against the transport of soil and sediment off of
the property. I further agree to comply with any additional requirements deemed necessary by Greene
County erosion control inspectors. Such requirements shall be based on established conservation
standards and shall represent the minimum practices necessary to provide adequate control of erosion
and sedimentation on or resulting from this construction. Erosion controls required shall be installed as a
first step in the construction process and include at a minimum:
1. A stone construction entrance shall be provided wherever traffic will be leaving a construction site and
transporting mud directly onto a public or private road or other paved area. Any mud transported off of the
site will be cleaned up promptly.
2. Silt fence or other protective measures shall be provided wherever sediment from disturbed areas may leave
the site. Such protective measures must be provided before significant land disturbing activities may
proceed.
3. All denuded areas shall be stabilized within seven (7) days of final grading with permanent vegetation or a
protective ground cover suitable for the time of year. Temporary soil stabilization shall be applied to
denuded areas that may not be at final grade but will remain undisturbed for longer than fourteen (14) days.
4. All culvert pipes including driveway pipes shall have proper inlet and outlet protection.
I understand that failure to comply with this agreement may result in civil and/or criminal penalties and
may require the submission and approval of a formal erosion control plan with an appropriate
performance guarantee bond (adequate for the total cost of grading, drainage and erosion & sediment
control, plus 25% for administrative expenses). I further understand that a formal erosion control plan or
performance guarantee may be required either prior to issuance of a Building Permit or at any time prior
to an approved final inspection, at the sole discretion of Greene County.
I hereby grant the County of Greene the right to enter upon this lot periodically to assure compliance,
including performing remedial work if the Owner/Agent fails to comply with directives by the County. I
further agree to pay for all costs for such remedial work within fourteen (14) days after receipt of invoices
received for such work.
