Building Department

Wiring Inspections

Wiring Inspector: James Colleary

All wiring work performed in the Town of Southborough must be done under an electrical permit issued by the Building Department. This includes both high and low voltage wiring on power supplies, security systems, data systems, communications systems and alarm systems. This work is regulated by CMR 527 12:00, the Massachusetts Electrical Code.

Electrical permits are issued in the Building Department office. Application forms are available in the office. Applications may be submitted between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Permit application forms can be obtained electronically on the web site of The Board of State Examiners of Electricians. These are found under "Permits" on the attached web site. If a downloaded form is used it must be submitted to the Southborough Building Department, not to the state. http://www.state.ma.us/reg/boards/el/forms.htm

It is essential that all permit applications be submitted with a current insurance certificate identifying the Town of Southborough as the certificate holder.
