It is the duty of the building official, or other authority charged with the duty, of issuing building or similar permits, of any incorporated municipality or subdivision of the municipality or county, to refuse to issue a permit for any undertaking which would require a license hereunder unless the applicant has furnished evidence that he or she is either licensed as required by this chapter or is exempt from the requirements of this chapter. The building official, or other authority charged with the duty of issuing building or similar permits, shall report to the board the name and address of any person who, has violated this chapter. Nothing contained herein shall require a builder to pay license fees for subcontractors who will be or were involved in the construction for which the permit is being obtained as a condition of the issuance of a building permit or the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The builder shall submit to the issuing municipality if requested a list of the subcontractors with correct physical address and phone numbers involved in the construction project within 15 days of the issuance of the building permit. Should the builder add any other subcontractor to the project, the builder will submit the subcontractor’s name, address, and phone number to the municipality within three working days of hiring. An updated list of subcontractors shall be furnished by the builder before the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the municipality.
