Electrical Permit in Tolleson, Arizona

Tolleson requires an electrical permit for: Permit required to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert, or replace any electrical system regulated by City of Tolleson codes; Governed by the 2023 NEC as currently adopted by the City; For electrical-only work (no new structure), submittal is simplified: a completed Application plus a Site Plan showing the location of the existing structure and the specific electrical work (e.g., new service location); A separate trade permit is issued for electrical work performed in conjunction with a larger construction project. If your project isn't listed, confirm with City of Tolleson Development Services Department — Building Division at 623-936-7111 before starting work.

Electrical work is billed on the same project-valuation-based Building Permit Fee table used for general construction, since the City's Citywide Fee Schedule does not itemize a separate flat electrical permit fee (other than a $47.00 flat fee specifically for reinstituting electrical service).

Tolleson's published plan-review target for an electrical permit is 5–10 business days.
