Licensing and permits in North Carolina

Errand running/concierge work is unlicensed in both the US and Canada; reputable providers (TaskRabbit taskers, local concierge services) carry basic liability insurance and pass a background check, so ask for proof of both before handing over keys, cards, or access to your home.

Residential building permits in North Carolina are issued locally — by the city, town, or county building inspections/code enforcement department where the property sits — not by a single state agency. In Durham, permits come from the City-County Building & Safety (City of Durham / Durham County).

Tax: Labor for repair, maintenance, and installation (RMI) services to real property — the common category for home repairs, fixture replacement, and similar maintenance work — is taxable in North Carolina; work that qualifies as a 'capital improvement' (e.g., new construction, substantial renovation) is generally exempt from sales tax instead.

Best time to book in Durham
