A sworn statement is also known as an “affidavit.
A Sworn Statement is completed by the owner or the general contractor reflecting the names and addresses, kind of work and/or materials supplied and the total amounts of the contracts that have been entered into with subcontractors and suppliers for a particular construction project.
