Building Permit Required Work
The City of Leesburg Electric Department is often questioned on what type of work requires a permit. Since we work within 4 jurisdictions, the answer is not always the same. We have contacted the individual permitting agencies and put together this information for our customers.
Here is what we were able to put together for our customers.
