State Capitol police said that a fire alarm was called in shortly after 6:00 a.m. The building was evacuated as a precaution.
The Raleigh Fire Department responded but found no signs of any fire, police said.
Police evacuated the revenue building Wednesday after finding a suspicious package in the middle of Wilmington Street.
The small package was covered in black electrical tape, but the bomb squad determined it was not an explosive device.
Authorities were checking to see if surveillance video captured how it got there.
