Nothing contained within this subchapter shall prevent any homeowner from installing or maintaining electrical wiring within his or her own property boundaries; provided the electrical work is done by himself or herself and is used exclusively by him or her or his or her family. This privilege does not convey the right to violate any of the provisions of this subchapter, neither is it to be construed as exempting any property owner from obtaining a permit and having the work inspected nor from paying the required fees therefor.
(1995 Code, § 5-1013)
