What is an Electrical Permit?

Answer:
If you are planning to add a family room to your home,

you will need to pull an electrical permit at your City or Town Hall.

An electrical permit is an official document allowing a property owner to install, enhance, modify or otherwise work on an electrical system associated with a property.

An electrical permit is required to ensure that best practices and designs are followed and that materials and methods meet applicable governing standards and codes.

Most state, city or town ordinances and codes regarding working on electrical systems adopt nationally recognized standards such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and others.

Many localities require that only licensed electicians may perform work on electrical systems.
