Permits shall be issued only to master electricians licensed by the state. However, any permit required by this subchapter may be issued to the owner of a single-family dwelling or mobile home used exclusively for living purposes, to do any work regulated by this subchapter in that dwelling, including the usual accessory buildings and quarters; provided, that the dwelling will be occupied by the owner, that the owner appears before the Electrical Inspector and shows himself or herself competent to do the specific work for which he or she desires a permit, and that the owner personally shall purchase all materials and perform all labor in connection with the work. All work done in accordance with this exception must meet all the requirements of this subchapter and shall be inspected like other work. This homeowner’s exemption shall not apply to rental property or property offered for sale.
