Permit
A formal authorization from the local building department required before starting electrical work, ensuring the work will be inspected for code compliance.
Detailed Explanation
Most jurisdictions require permits for new installations, additions, or alterations to electrical systems. Licensed electrical contractors are responsible for pulling permits and scheduling inspections. Work performed without a permit can result in fines, required removal of the work, and liability issues. The permit process helps ensure all electrical work meets current NEC and local code requirements.
