Pull your own permits in Raleigh NC or Greenville SC areas?

My husband is a contractor where we live here in Missouri.  We can work on our investments without many restrictions.  We are planning a move and have Pensacola FL first on our list, but the restrictions there make it impossible for my husband to pull his own permits for any homes we flip unless we live there at least 12 months.

What about Raleigh NC or Greenville SC?  Can a homeowner pull permits with no restrictions on selling, etc?

Regarding NC contractors, see also the pertaining to general contracting. The 'owned by that person' exemption is in 87-1(b)(2) and the $30,000 limit is in 87-1. The NC chapter pertaining to contracting is , and it covers HVAC & plumbing (Article 2), electrical (Article 4), etc. NCGS 87-43.1. Exceptions (5a) allows for people working on electrical for their own house they live in. covers permits. I have 'pulled' permits (always under $30,000 and for existing buildings (all Level 2 Alterations)) and you'll need to meet 87-14(1), specifically, if you are not licensed in the state. This is a nice or just Repair. I agree with @Account Closed  , that in the Raleigh area flippers are generally not pulling permits when they should be. I am not a flipper, but I have filed for permits in Garner, Fuquay, and Holly Springs... but not Raleigh proper.
