Frequently asked Questions
How do I get an electrical permit?
Who can file a request for electrical inspection/permit?
A licensed electrical contractor doing the work, or a homeowner who is doing the work,
who owns and occupies the residence.
What do I need to do to get a rough-in inspection, and how do I set one up?
All boxes must be in place and all wiring strapped down, and all wiring inside boxes
must be spliced and pigtailed and ready for devices to be installed. No devices should be
installed before rough-in. If you are unable to do this contact a licensed electrical
contractor for help. Once you have completed this you can set up your inspection on line
by going to www.Slothinspections.com, entering the location of the inspection, and then following the easy scheduling process. Please read over the
residential check list (found on your city's permit site) to make sure you understand all the
code requirements needed before making your inspection request.
What needs to be done to set up my final inspection?
Everything must be completed. All required devices, light fixtures, appliances, and
equipment must be installed. No incomplete wiring to be exposed. A final inspection
must be completed before occupying space.
