§ 22.16. Installation of Wiring or Equipment by Homeowner.

Nothing herein shall prohibit a bona fide owner from personally installing electrical wiring or the installation of electrical equipment within his own bona fide residence; providing that he is a qualified person and work is in a single-family residence used exclusively by him or his family. Such privilege does not convey the right to violate any of the provisions of this Chapter, nor is it to be construed as exempting any such property owner from obtaining a permit and paying required fees thereof. He shall comply with the following:

(1)

File plans and specifications and prove qualifications satisfactorily to the chief inspector of electrical installations, which plan, specifications and qualifications must be approved by the said inspector.

(2)

Apply for and secure a permit.

(3)

Do work in accordance with the most recently adopted edition of the National Electric Code with the State of Florida.

(4)

Receive the approval of installation by the chief inspector of electrical installations.
