I work in Mass. and we have a standard form the state issues for all towns to use when filing for an electrical permit. The frustration comes when you make out the check. Each town has a different fee schedule. Some base the cost on the estimated cost of the job, some are so much $ per outlet, some seem to just pick a number out of the air. I thought MECA used to have a book with much of this information in it, does anyone know if this is still the case?
Then there's Fire Alarm permits, again each town has a different set of requirements. To fulfill some of there requirements could take days. I guess I don't understand why this can't be a more standardized process. I don't want to come off like I am railing on the towns, I'm not. I feel that my office should be handling much of this foot work and that is where alot of my frustration originates so I guess I'm just blowing off steam Thanks for listening
