Residential Electrical permits may be acquired by the property owner or by an electrician who is registered with the PA Office of the Attorney General as a Home Improvement Contractor and who holds a valid electrical contractor license after having successfully passed an examination from another municipality or jurisdiction recognized by the Township of Lower Alsace.  Electrical permits are required for any new work to erect, install, enlarge, alter, convert or replace any electrical system.
