How long does it take to process my electrical permit application?
If your permit is part of an all-inclusive building permit, then it should be issued within 24 hours from the time you submit the ‘Electrical Permit Application’ that came with the building permit. If you would like to discuss the review process on a stand-alone electrical permit, please contact the Principal Electrical Inspector by dialing 912-651-6530, then pressing option two.
