NC H466

Adds § 160D-1110.1 to North Carolina General Statutes allowing counties to permit temporary dwellings (including recreational vehicles) on residential property during construction of a permanent home on the same parcel.

Requires five criteria be met: submission of all required permits for permanent construction, minimum habitability and safety standards, access to power and sanitary conditions, availability for periodic inspections, and compliance with applicable setback requirements.

Counties must issue permits upon payment of a reasonable fee regardless of parcel size and may require biennial renewal, limit duration to issuance of certificate of occupancy, and restrict to one active permit per parcel.

Counties may revoke temporary dwelling permits if required permit applications are denied, building permits are revoked or expire, or the temporary dwelling fails to meet criteria.

Temporary permits are exclusively regulated by the issuing county and supersede regulatory authority of other local government entities; does not affect nuisance ordinances or private covenants.
