Do you need a permit?
Bridgeport requires a permit for electrical work.
The City's Work Exempt from Building Permits page, following Connecticut State Building Code Section 105.2, exempts certain minor electrical work from a permit; examples include swapping out lamps or fuses, plugging approved portable equipment into approved permanently installed receptacles, and temporary systems set up to test or service electrical equipment.
