Electrical work permit checklist — Orlando, Florida
Assembled from Orlando’s own published permit rules. Every line below is quoted from a city document and linked to it. Nothing here is generated, estimated, or inferred from another jurisdiction.
Do you need a permit?
Orlando requires a permit for electrical work.
The $7,500 residential permit exemption that Florida Statutes Section 553.79(1)(g) created effective July 1, 2026 gives electrical work no relief. The statute names electrical work as ineligible, and Orlando repeats that carve-out in its exemption guidance, so the permit stands whatever the job is worth.
