Permits and inspections
An inspection itself needs no permit. If the inspection finds work that should be corrected, that repair work may need a permit. In Washington, most electrical work needs a permit bought before work starts. When you hire an electrical contractor, the contractor must buy the permit for the job. Depending on the address, permits and inspections are handled by the city or by Washington State Labor & Industries (L&I).

Common questions about electrical inspections
I am buying a home. Is a general home inspection enough?
A general inspector looks at many systems briefly. An electrician's inspection goes deeper on the panel, wiring and safety devices, which is where expensive surprises hide.
What is a four-point inspection for insurance?
Some insurers ask for a review of roof, plumbing, heating and electrical on older homes. The electrical part covers panel, wiring type and visible hazards.
How long does an electrical inspection take?
Ask for an estimated duration for your property and the agreed inspection scope. Size, access and reporting requirements affect the time.
Do I get anything in writing?
Call to confirm whether written findings are available, what they include and whether they meet the needs of your buyer, seller or insurer. Do not assume a formal report is included.
