Are you starting any kind of electrical project, including electrical rough-in and final wiring for a new home building project? Your local county will usually need to be involved.
In Wake County:
- You will need an “M” permit to “install, alter, repair, replace, or relocate any electrical material, appliances, or equipment.” You can apply for an “M” permit online.
- If your project costs will exceed $30,000 you are required by law to allow a licensed contractor to do the work for you.
- Once the work is done you will be required to schedule an electrical inspection.
- The Wake County Inspection Forums are a good source of information for specific questions you may have about many different project types.
In Chatham County:
- Some permits require an electrical contractor’s license; some do not. You do not require a contractor’s license if you are a person who “is himself and for himself installing, maintaining, altering, or repairing electric work, wiring, devices, appliances, or equipment upon his own property when such property is not intended for rent, lease, or sale.” Check the Chatham County website for other requirements.
- Chatham County requires you to have a permit when you want to “install, alter, repair, replace, or relocate any electrical material, appliances, or equipment.”
- You can download a permit application.
In either county you should also be sure to call Miss Dig at 811 before doing any digging at all. Otherwise you could damage underground power lines, gas lines, and pipes.
