SF Electrical Permit

Electrical work in San Francisco needs a permit — and in San Francisco that permit files online through PermitSF. PermitsPros prepares and files it for you: you describe the job once, we handle the application, the city review, and the inspection scheduling.

What this covers

  • Service and panel upgrades
  • New circuits, outlets and lighting
  • Rewiring and code-correction work
  • Electrical for remodels, filed alongside the building permit or on its own

How it works

  1. Talk to Tony — tell him the address and the scope. Two minutes, from the job site.
  2. We prepare and file the application through PermitSF, the city's portal.
  3. City fees pass through at cost — you see them before anything is filed.
  4. When the permit issues, we line up the inspection. Work gets inspected before wiring is covered — that sequencing is on us to track, not you.

Good to know in San Francisco

  • Electrical permits file online through PermitSF; straightforward work can move without a long plan review.
  • Only owners of stand-alone single-family homes may apply for their own electrical permit, and the city asks them to visit the Permit Center help desk shortly after applying. Everyone else files through a licensed contractor — which is who we file for, every day.
  • Working without the permit risks a stop-work notice and correction costs that dwarf the permit fee. The permit is the cheap part.

Who uses this

Licensed C-10 electrical contractors who would rather be on the tools than in a portal, property managers running electrical work across buildings, and homeowners hiring it done right.
