Frequently Asked Questions
Does Houston require a permit for electrical panel upgrades?
Yes. All panel upgrades in Houston require a City of Houston permit (or the applicable municipality — Katy, Sugar Land, etc. have their own permit offices). A licensed electrician will pull the permit; work performed without a permit is illegal and voids homeowner's insurance coverage for electrical fires.
