Many electrical projects in Cary require a building permit. The Village specifically requires permits for electrical alterations and other electrical work beyond replacement of individual fixtures or appliances. Projects like an electrical service or panel upgrade, generator installation, hot tub electrical work, remodeling that adds or relocates electrical fixtures, and other substantial electrical improvements must go through the Village permit process.
Replacing an electrical fixture in the same location does not require a building permit. Because requirements depend on the exact scope of work, homeowners should confirm permit needs before starting a project.
