This. Is Correct.
Under $500 does not require a licensed contract but it still requires a permit and must be installed to code. Work done without a permit can be fined.
At least you've some manner of oversight....
My state still allows one to wire and plumb their own residence w/o inspections or even (some areas) zoning permits.
The results are over 1/2 my biz , as well as the statistical majority of fires, lawsuits, morbidity, mortality & litigation....
The trades are summarily blamed....and the bureaucrats write more codes to be ignored
Cross a boarder , and it all changes to some other litigant mess with it's own inherent problems.....
One would think the
powers that be would take note of, it not move to mitigate the DIY hell , ironically they are the ones against any
national benchmarks,licensure, inspections, etc, because it
serves them
Worse, most of us
(that's right i said us, the bona fide trade) can't agree, and usually reject anything that would provide national cohesion
