Electrical Plan Certification

The City of Waco allows for design professional certification of electrical plans. This program streamlines the permit process by removing the need for the City to conduct a separate electrical plan review under most circumstances. The City of Waco reserves the right to review/QA-QC complex projects as warranted.

Under this certification process, the Engineer of Record for the electrical plans will certify that the design meets or exceeds the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC), as well as other applicable codes and ordinances. The property owner will acknowledge that the City is issuing the permit based on this certification, and that installation will be inspected to code.

Both attached electrical plan review letters (engineer and property owner) must be submitted with the permit application.
