How to use this page

Three checks before acting on a local result

Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to Boston, MA. If a property is outside city limits or in a special district, confirm the local authority before using this as a planning path.

Keep permits and incentives separate. A rebate or utility incentive does not replace permit review, and an empty rebate section only means HomeReq has no approved local program record published for this project yet.

Open the official source before starting work. Use the source cards and verification dates as a trail back to the issuing department, utility, or program administrator.

Electrical permit and possible short-form permit for panel or service upgrade work

Boston's electrical service upgrade guide says service upgrades can involve replacing old electrical panels with higher-amperage models and require a contractor who can apply for an electrical permit and perform the work. It also lists a short-form permit for opening non-structural walls while performing the work, so panel replacement, service upgrades, meter or service wiring changes, and related wall-opening work should be confirmed through Inspectional Services before work starts.
