(A) No person, firm, or corporation shall attempt to do or cause to be done any electrical work or alteration for others within the city without first obtaining a permit for any job costing $5,000 or more. The contractor shall ultimately be responsible for obtaining a permit. Contractor is defined as the person or company hired to do the work or a property owner doing their own work.
(B) The exception to this is that when a new or replacement residential electrical service entrance is connected, the electrical inspector must inspect the installation prior to the electrical service company (Ohio Power Co.) providing power to the installation.
