Rewiring Electric for Light Fixtures

[Kapil Patel]

Hi,

Do we need to get a city electric permit to rewire for light fixtures? Not creating a new electric outlet, using the outlet and rewiring to new location through concrete ceiling.

What are the implications of not getting electric permit and doing the job anyways down the road?

First time home owner and want to know the right way and the wrong way repercussion. Essentially, both sides of the story.

Any advice would be appreciated.
