What electrical inspections are required for my Electrical Permit?*

Washtenaw County Building Department enforces the 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) with State Part 8 amendments. Inspections include:

  • Temporary service
  • Permanent service
  • Underground, before covering
  • Rough, before any work is covered**
  • Final


*Trade inspections can be done in conjunction with another inspection on the same permit without an extra fee. For example more than one inspection can be performed per trip and the cost will be the same as one inspection. The fee is charged per trip.


**Most manufactured homes only require permanent service and final inspections, because they have been approved at the factory. Exception: Work to the manufactured unit that has been field installed and will be covered must have a rough inspection.
