Electrical Permit Application

Service upgrades, panel changes, rewires, EV charger installs and solar tie-ins all require an electrical permit. Fees usually key off service amperage and circuit count, so those two numbers decide whether your application clears the counter.

Who uses it

Electrical contractors, solar installers, EV charger installers and general contractors pulling electrical sub-permits.

What the generated document includes

  • Service size in amps and voltage / phase configuration
  • Panel make and model for the replacement or new install
  • Number of circuits added or altered
  • Electrical license, insurance and bond block

Mistakes that get it kicked back

  • Filing a like-for-like panel swap when the service size is actually increasing
  • Omitting the EV or solar load calculation the plans examiner asks for
  • Undercounting altered circuits, which changes the fee tier and triggers a re-submittal
