AI Summary

  • Defines "owner-builder" as an individual holding title to real property (with at least 80% beneficial ownership if co-owned) who builds single-family residences or appurtenant structures for domestic purposes on that property without receiving compensation.

  • Restricts owner-builders from claiming exemption status more than once every 7 years, allowing construction of only one single-family residence and local accessory buildings during that period.

  • Permits local jurisdictions to adopt exemptions from building codes for owner-builders, with authority to require notification, impose reasonable fees, and issue building site permits for planning, zoning, environmental, and engineering compliance.

  • Requires property transferors to clearly disclose whether properties were subject to owner-builder building code exemptions if the local jurisdiction has adopted such exemptions.

  • Makes technical corrections by renumbering the "Telecommunications facilities" definition from (101) to (101).
