§ 190.401. Contractor registration required.

A.

No person or business entity shall undertake or perform work in the City of Akron requiring a permit under Section 190.201 of this Code, without first obtaining a building construction contractor registration from the Superintendent of Building Inspection, or the Superintendent's designee (hereinafter referred to as "Contractor Registration"). Such work within the corporation limits shall only be transacted by a building construction contractor duly registered or as otherwise permitted by local, state, or federal law or regulation.

B.

The requirement of Section 190.401(A) shall not apply when the applicant is the owner-occupant of a single-family dwelling and the building permit sought is for construction, reconstruction or renovation of that single-family dwelling. This exemption shall only be provided to qualified homeowners and not to corporations, limited liability companies, sole proprietorships, limited liability partnerships, or other business entities.
