Code Interpretations Section
The 2012 NC Residential Code (NCRC) has been adopted by the North Carolina Building Code Council (BCC) and given a mandatory effective date of March 1, 2012, by the NC General Assembly under SL2011-269.
Due to delay in the Building Code Council’s approval, the 2012 NCRC books will not be available on or before March 1; therefore, the North Carolina Department of Insurance has prepared this document which includes the significant changes to the 2009 North Carolina Residential Code that will comprise the 2012 North Carolina Residential Code. The changes include those made by the International Code Council and accepted by North Carolina, as well as those made by the Building Code Council.
In an effort to save space, most of the information included in this document is paraphrased rather than directly quoted from code text. The 2009 International Residential Code is the base document for the 2012 NCRC and may be viewed by clicking this link:

R101.2 - Scope
The 2012 NCRC scope is the same as 2009 with the exception below that permits “Live/Work Units” to be built as one-and-two-family dwellings or townhouses.
Exception: Live/work units complying with the requirements of Section 419 of the NC Building Code shall be permitted to be built as one-and-two-family dwellings or townhouses. Fire suppression required by Section 419.5 of the NC Building Code when constructed under the NC Residential Code for One-and Two-Family Dwellings shall conform to Section 903.3.1.3 of the International Building Code.
Live/Work Unit is defined by the 2012 NC Building Code as “a dwelling unit or sleeping unit in which a significant portion of the space includes non-residential use that is operated by the tenant …”.
Examples: Offices, hair styling shop or barber shop, small store, coffee shops, etc.
Exception: Home offices that comprise less than 10% of the dwelling unit.
