When you need this permit
- Both the City of Craig and Moffat County defer ALL electrical permits, plan reviews, and inspections to the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), Division of Professions and Occupations, State Electrical Board — verified directly from the City's Residential Solar Installation Checklist and Standard Building Inspections checklist
- Applicants must apply directly to DORA, typically through the DPO Online Permitting System, rather than through the Craig/Moffat County Regional Building Department
- For a project also requiring a local Building Permit (e.g., new construction, solar), State electrical approval may be required BEFORE the local Building Permit can be issued (explicitly stated for solar projects)
- Rough and Final Electrical inspections are performed by a State inspector, not a local building inspector, per the department's own Standard Building Inspections checklist

Tips
- Do not contact the Craig/Moffat County Regional Building Department for electrical permits or inspections — they explicitly do not handle this trade. Go directly to the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations, State Electrical Board.
- If your project (e.g., solar) needs both a local Building Permit and State electrical approval, expect the State electrical approval to be a prerequisite step completed BEFORE the local Building Permit is issued, not a parallel or after-the-fact process.
