Permits may be issued to specialty-licensed contractors or licensed general building contractors when acting within the provisions of State Contracting License Law.
(9) Any permit required by this Code may be issued to any person to do any work regulated by this Code in a single family dwelling used exclusively for living purposes, including the usual accessory buildings and quarters in connection with such building, in the event that any such person is the bona fide owner of any such dwelling and accessory buildings and quarters, and that the same are occupied by said owner, provided that such owner shall personally purchase all material and shall personally perform all labor in connection therewith and demonstrate the knowledge and ability to perform said construction work in conformance with the requirements of the California Plumbing, Mechanical or Electrical Codes. If, in the opinion of the enforcing authority, such knowledge and ability is insufficient, a person licensed to do such work may be required.
