(A) If a person who resides within the corporate limits or within two miles of the boundaries thereof wishes to wire or install electric apparatus in that person’s principal residence or any of the residential outbuildings located on the property where that person resides, the person must obtain a permit to do so by paying a permit fee as set by resolution. Before the permit can be issued, an electrical examination must be completed with a minimum passing grade of 70%.
(B) The permit for an individual doing his or her own wiring does not include installation of the service; this must be completed by a licensed electrical contractor who has provided the city with the requisite certificate of insurance. The application for a permit of this nature shall be filed with the Community Development Department, and any permit of this nature shall be subject to the approval of the Electrical Inspector.
