Sec. 22-156. Electrical permit fees.

In order to procure an electrical permit for the installation of electrical wiring work, any person before beginning any electrical wiring, shall make application to the inspector and shall pay the inspection fee required by the following schedule:

(1) Rewiring existing installations. The permit fee for all overhauling or rewiring of existing buildings shall be at the rate charged for new construction and shall be based on the contract price of the work to be performed.

(2) Extra fee for reinspections. It is further provided that an additional fee of $25.00 shall be paid in advance by the electrical contractor or property owner for each and every extra inspection trip that the inspector makes which is caused by the failure of the electrical contractor or property owner who is installing the electrical work to:

a. Be ready for an electrical inspection which he has requested to be made.

b. Provide means for the inspector to enter the locked premises to make an inspection requested by the electrical contractor.

c. Comply with the provisions of this chapter.

(3) Double electrical permit fees. Should any person wilfully or through negligence begin or complete any electric wiring work for which an electric permit is required by this article, without having notified the inspector's office or applied for the necessary permit prior to or during the day that work is commenced, or on the next working day of the inspector where such work is commenced on a Saturday or a Sunday or a holiday, he shall, when subsequently securing such permit, be required to pay double the fees herein provided for such permit; and shall be subject to all penal provisions of this article.

(4) Maintenance electrician permit fees. The electrical permit fees for the periodical permit which is required elsewhere in this article for maintenance electricians shall be computed on the same basis as set forth in the schedule of electrical fees above.
