Do I need a permit?
Pick your city and project. We show the requirement only where we have read it on the city's own page, with the issuing office and a source link. Everywhere else we say so rather than guess. Wiring work normally needs a licensed electrician and a permit.
Basis
Each record cites a city page and the date we checked it. Adoption dates and local amendments change; confirm with your local building department before you buy materials or pull a permit.
