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

[Jennifer Ross]

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?
