Q: I need to get my electricity turned back on, but SWEPCO said I need an inspection. What do I do?

 

A: You need an electrical permit so that we can perform an inspection for you. Click "apply for a permit" and you will need a "Trade" permit and then "Electrical".

​

Q: I am getting a new mobile home moved to my property. Do I need a permit?

 

A: Yes, you will need a "manufactured home" permit. This will cover inspection of the home and electrical inspection to get your power turned on. You will need basic information about the home, a septic permit from the health unit (318.741.7493) and a site plan.

​

 

Q: What is a site plan?

 

A; A site plan is a drawing that shows an overhead view of your property. This drawing shows the new structure and the distance that it will be from your property lines and any other structures on the property. The drawing will also need to be drawn to scale. (For example: 1 inch = 10 feet)

​

 

Q: I want to put a shop/shed on my property. Do I need a permit for this?

​

Q: I have my permit. How do I schedule an inspection?
