The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) determines residential electrical permit fees based on the valuation of the work rather than a flat rate. While homeowners can view fee schedules through the LADBS online portal, we manage the entire permit process for you to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Estimated fee ranges for common residential projects in Los Angeles include:
- 200 Amp Panel Upgrade: $150 – $350 (plus potential plan check fees for complex projects).
- New Branch Circuit: $50 – $100.
- EV Charger Installation: $100 – $250.
- Recessed Lighting: $20 – $50 per fixture.
We provide exceptional electrical services and handle the heavy lifting—including document preparation, application submission, and coordinating with inspectors. This ensures your project meets the California Electrical Code without the hassle of navigating jurisdictional paperwork yourself.
