Permits can take from 2 weeks up to 3 months due to COVID. LumiSOL offers a service to get your permit and navigate all the complexities of the permitting process for you at a cost ranging between $500 to $1,400:
- Cost includes fees due to the city, our preparation and load calculation fee and $450 flat fee for inspection. The $450 flat inspection fee covers our scheduling service and the certified electrician's time meeting with the inspector (note that each city gives us a 4-hour window of time for final inspection).
- City and preparation fees vary based on the history of your property, whether your property is a historic building and amount of inquiries we need to resolve with your city Building, Fire Marshall and Electrical departments.
- City fees become due at point in time we receive a pass or approval of your permit.
For your convenience, we provide approximate price ranges for our permit service by city.
