Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I only need an electrical permit for new construction?
Anytime wiring is added or replaced an electrical permit is required and inspections are required.

A homeowner can apply for the permit and do the work themselves on the home that they currently occupy or are about to occupy (new construction). Commercial, industrial, apartments and rental units will require an electrical contractor to apply for the permit and do the work.
