Amends GS 87-1 to also except any person, firm, or corporation who constructs or alters a building on land owned by that person, firm, or corporation from the definition of general contractor, provided the person, firm, or corporation complies with GS 87-14 (regulations for building permit issuance). Makes other clarifying and technical changes, and organizes the amendment to GS 87-1 under GS 87-1(b)(2). Amends GS 87-14, requiring any applicant for a building or construction permit, as specified, where the cost for the project will be $30,000 or more, to satisfy, in addition to requirements under current law, the following requirement: furnish satisfactory proof that the person seeking the permit or another person contracting to manage the construction is duly licensed under Article 1 of GS Chapter 87, or is exempt from licensure under GS 87-1(b). Provides that an applicant must execute a verified affidavit containing three listed attestations if the applicant claims exemption from licensure under GS 87-1(b)(2). Directs the building inspector or other authority to transmit a copy of the affidavit to the State Licensing Board for General Contractors who will verify the exemption, or revoke the building permit if the applicant is not exempt. Makes conforming and organizational changes.
