General Contractor's License for Permits when Doing Work Yourself

I have a project underway and am doing some of the work myself. I'm curious if anyone else has run into a problem when rehabbing a property, and doing the work yourself. Have you been required to have a General Contractor's license? In my city, you are not allowed to work on the property unless it's your own, that you will be occupying.

I can't even begin to imagine living in a place that requires you to be a GC to do any work on a property you own.......hell to the no.

God Bless Texas LOL
