10-4 I was hoping for a loophole . Sounds like that might not be an option. Thank you for sharing some great info . 

@Troy Langbehn I am a commercial broker and not a contractor, but I have ran into this specific situation with an investment of my own. Typically, with items such as plumbing, mechanical, carpentry, electric etc. building inspectors definitely require a licensed contractor even if you own the building. I brought contractors from outside the area in on my project and they even made each of them apply for reciprocal licenses just because they weren't local. There is obvious ways around this for items which aren't that noticeable. But if they can identify certain items or structures were not present during the last time they did their walk through, you will most likely be fined and or have to remove it. This actually happened to me with a window that was literally two inches short of code. I had to throw away a brand new window and carve the old frame out to their satisfaction. So, to answer your question, yes that is a fact albeit one that is a pain.
