KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent"). The Agent shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters described in this instrument, subject to any limitations expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-07, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-07, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law. Upon the expiration date, the Agent's authority under this instrument shall cease immediately, and the Agent shall have no further power to act on the Principal's behalf. Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon this instrument. Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice. Upon revocation, the Agent shall promptly return to the Principal all documents, records, property, and funds in the Agent's possession or control that belong to or relate to the affairs of the Principal.
This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto. The Principal consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [state_law] for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this instrument. If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters regarding local building department requirements in the State of California, including but not limited to the execution of permit applications for door headers, structural alterations, and electrical connections for automatic openers. The Agent shall ensure all representations made to government entities comply with local building codes and the structural integrity requirements of the California Building Standards Code.
The Agent is authorized to manage workplace safety documentation as required by Cal-OSHA and General Industry Standards. This includes the implementation of safety training programs regarding high-tension torsion springs and track alignment procedures. In accordance with California Civil Code requirements, the Agent shall exercise reasonable care to mitigate liabilities related to property damage or workplace injury, ensuring all installation activities under their oversight adhere strictly to UL 325 safety standards for residential and commercial openers.
The Agent is granted specific authority to execute, record, and deliver Preliminary Notices and Mechanics Lien documents pursuant to Cal. Civ. Code §§ 8000 et seq. This power includes the authority to pursue payment for labor, materials (including doors, tracks, and openers), and installation services provided by the Principal, and to handle all lawful considerations in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1550.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

Running a garage door business in California involves high-risk activities—from managing dangerous torsion spring tensions to navigating strict CSLB licensing and Cal-OSHA safety standards. A specialized Power of Attorney allows you to designate a trusted agent to pull local building permits, sign off on UL 325 safety compliance certifications, and handle contract negotiations when you are off-site or managing multiple track alignment projects. This document protects your operations by ensuring administrative and safety-critical decisions continue legally, even if you are unavailable.
Yes, provided the Power of Attorney specifically grants authority to interface with local Building Departments. Under California Civil Code and local ordinances, an agent with a properly notarized POA can apply for and pull permits, ensuring your project meets structural integrity and electrical code requirements without delay.
The agent's authority can be tailored to include the signing of safety compliance documents. However, the licensed contractor generally remains responsible for the actual installation standards. California strictly enforces UL 325 for automatic openers; your agent can represent you in administrative filings related to these safety standards.
When appointing an agent who may also be a worker, you must be mindful of Cal. Lab. Code § 2750.3 (AB5). Granting broad managerial power through a POA might be used as evidence in the ABC test to determine if a worker is a bona fide independent contractor or an employee. It is recommended to consult on worker classification if your agent is a subcontractor.
