Electrical Permit Question

[Emily Allen]

Hello! I have a specific question about pulling electrical permit. I'm working on a rehab. Power in the house has been disconnected for 4+ years and Georgia Power has removed the line going from the house to the street line. They tell me that they'd need city's inspection to reconnect power. And in order to get the inspection, it looks like I need to pull electrical permit. 

My question is, do I just need one electrical permit of $175 to reconnect the power? The contractor I'm working with says I need to permits, one to update service $175, and one for temporary service $175. I'm not sure I need both but I'd like to hear how everyone else does.

Thank you!
