21 NCAC 18B .0803. SCOPE OF SP-SFD LICENSE

(a)  The following definitions apply in determination of the scope of work available to the holder of a SP-SFD license:

(1)           "Ancillary" with reference to the scope of a single family residential dwelling license, is an appurtenance or out-building or similar structure associated with the single family dwelling such as a detached residential garage or carport, a farm or household equipment storage shed, a barn, a pump house, an electric fence, or yard lighting.

(2)           "Habitation" means the occupancy of dwelling primarily or exclusively for residential purposes and includes the incidental use of the dwelling or its ancillaries for a business, commercial, or professional activity, such as providing hair dressing, medical, legal, consulting, or tax services, if:

(A)          the activity is incidental to the primary use of the dwelling as a residence;

(B)          no stock-in-trade is either displayed or sold on the premises; and

(C)          the full-time or part-time services of no more than one person who does not live at the dwelling are used in the activity.

(3)           A "single family residential dwelling" is a building or a manufactured home that is designed and used only for habitation by one family and is not physically attached to any other building or structure.  Cabanas, porches, room additions, and ancillary structures are considered part of a single family dwelling if they are designed for and used only for residential purposes by the occupants of the dwelling.

(b)  A special restricted single family residential dwelling electrical contracting license (SP-SFD) authorizes the licensee to install, maintain, or repair only electrical wiring and devices that are in or on a single family residential dwelling or are ancillary to a single family residential dwelling.  Electrical work within the scope of another special restricted license may be performed by a SP-SFD licensee without obtaining the other special restricted license as long as it is in or on a single family residential dwelling or is ancillary to a single family residential dwelling.
