The time required for the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) to approve an electrical permit depends on the complexity of your project and the submission method:
- Over-the-counter submissions: Simple permits, such as those for New Electrical Circuits Installation or basic Outlets and Switches work, are often issued the same day through the online portal.
- Standard residential projects: For typical work like a 200 Amp Panel Upgrade, processing generally takes 1 to 2 weeks.
- Specific installations: EV/Tesla Charger Installation permits usually take between 5 and 10 business days, while minor tasks like Recessed Lighting Installation typically process in 3 to 5 business days.
- Complex projects: If your project requires a full plan-check review or involves complex corrections, the timeline may be extended beyond these typical ranges.
