Residential Electrical Inspection Checklist PDF
Generally, Minnesota law requires all electrical work to be performed by licensed, bonded and insured electrical contractors and their employees.
Homeowners, within strict limitations, are exempt from electrical licensing. An owner is a natural person who physically performs electrical work on premises the person owns and actually occupies as a residence or owns and will occupy as a residence upon completion of construction. MN Stat §326B.31, Subd. 22
A separate request for electrical inspection form with the required fees must be submitted to the Department at or before commencement of any electrical installation that is required by law to be inspected.
All wiring shall be inspected before it is concealed and the installer shall notify the inspector when the wiring is complete, before the wiring is utilized and the associated space occupied.
