Expected cost for wall charger permit

I 100% agree with your response. This was something I heard/read online, I need to find the source. Perhaps that information is incorrect? Since my conduit run involved around 125ft, had to be placed on wooden studs as a part of the building code, combining low voltage circuits to make room to add a 60A breaker, all while my solar panels are pending their own inspection approval the City was not something that I wanted to tackle on my own. I attached part of the contract that shows both permit fees. I had to photoshop some information out to protect both parties.

Glad you mentioned tackling projects on your own … don’t want anyone to misunderstand my post and think they should just watch some YouTube videos and have at a complex project …..Completely agree with you, if someone does not feel comfortable or does not have the time etc to complete a project of this type should certainly hire a tradesperson / professional

didn't want to go down this route for one reason - should I ever sell my house, the permit does not stay with the house.

This is nonsense. The permit is for the work done to the house. It has nothing at all to do with who “pulls” it. The electrician charged you an extra $300 for his own time, not any additional assurance or transferability.

Exactly. The extra $300 is because it costs more to do the job properly. All electricians charge a hefty fee for this and many will simply refuse to take the job if it is going to require them to meet the bare minimum legal standards.
