Senate committee substitute makes the following changes to the 2nd edition.

Amends GS 44A-11.1 to provide that an owner is not required to designate a lien agent for the addition of an accessory building or structure as defined in the North Carolina Uniform Residential Building Code (Code), the use of which is incidental to the owner-occupied residence. Also amends GS 87-14(a)(3) toextend the exemption to requiring the designation of a lien agent to an applicant for a building permit for the addition of an accessory building or accessory structure as defined in the Code, the use of which is incidental to that residential dwelling unit. Also amends GS 160A-417 (cities and towns) and GS 153A-357(e) (counties) to extend the exemption to requiring the designation of a lien agentto the permit requirements for the construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, movement to another site, removal, or demolition of any building or structure.

Rewrites subsection (h) of GS 44A-11.2, defining custom contractor to mean a contractor duly licensed as a general contractor under Article 1 of GS Chapter 87, who has contracted with an owner who is not an affiliate, relative, or insider of the contractor to build a single-family residence on the owner's property to be occupied by the owner as a residence. Specifies that the notice requirement under subsections (m) and (n) of GS 44A-11.2 will be considered to have been met on the date that the lien agent receives notice of its designation as lien agent from the custom contractor, providing that certain specified conditions are met.

Makes a technical correction.
