Tips

All electrical work in Eagle must comply with the 2023 NEC (NFPA 70), adopted via the Idaho Electrical Board.
Solar and renewable energy electrical work uses the Commercial/Industrial/Solar fee table (project value-based), not the residential square-footage table.
Submit all inspection requests through the Contractor Portal before 4:00 PM for next-business-day scheduling.
Payment is due in full before the permit is issued — accepted methods: check, cash, or credit card (in person or via Online Payments link).
Working without a permit may result in double fees or civil penalties.
