No. Yuma County (which includes the City of Yuma) does not appear on the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations' list of counties with a local Electrical Inspection Program, so electrical permits and inspections are handled by the State Electrical Board through its own Online Permitting System, not by the City's Building Inspector.

Whatever National Electrical Code edition the Colorado State Electrical Board currently has adopted applies, since the City of Yuma does not administer or amend its own electrical code — verify the current edition directly at dpo.colorado.gov/Electrical before starting work.
