The City of Corpus Christi's homeowner permitting guide lists the electrical jobs that need a permit: replacing a meter loop or panel, adding receptacles, new circuits or new lights, adding a dryer plug, rewiring a house and adding solar panels. Cable, phone and other low-voltage work under 25 volts doesn't. Permitted electrical work is inspected at rough-in, ceiling cover and final, and pools add a bonding inspection. Applications and inspection scheduling run through the city's Dynamic Portal, and the city says you can check with Development Services whether a contractor is registered with the city.
The state sets the license rules. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) says anyone doing non-exempt electrical work in Texas needs a TDLR license and must do the work through an electrical contractor that holds one. Ask for the contractor license number and search it on the TDLR License Search before work starts. Nueces County is in the Texas Department of Insurance coastal catastrophe area, but TDI lists electrical repairs among the jobs that don't need a windstorm inspection.
Phone numbers show on Pro and Premier listings only. Listings may show Google ratings, labeled as Google; reviews here are labeled "Homeowner review" and come only through a review link sent after a quote request.
