A w iring permit may be obtained for twenty dollars from the commission office.

A wiring permit is valid for three years from the date the permit is issued. An electrical installation that extends beyond three years from the date of issuance must have a new wiring permit posted and sent to the commission office before the expiration date. Failure to date the wiring permit at the start of the job constitutes a late wiring permit procedure and subjects the installer to a two-hundred-fifty-dollar administrative fee. Failure to renew the permit for an electrical installation that is not completed constitutes a late wiring permit procedure that subjects the installer to a two-hundred-fifty-dollar administrative fee.
