Who issues electrical permits in Cedarburg?
The City of Cedarburg's Building Inspection department issues electrical permits for homes inside the city. The city requires a permit for new electrical work, alterations, repairs, service upgrades and connecting appliances, which covers most of what homeowners call us for.
Two practical points from the city:
- Applications are submitted by email to the Building Inspection office, not over the counter.
- Issuing a permit can take up to seven days, so we build that into the schedule before a service upgrade or EV charger install.
Homes in the Town of Cedarburg (outside the city) can fall under a different inspection agency. We confirm jurisdiction from your address before applying.
Who supplies electricity in Cedarburg?
Cedarburg Light & Water, the city's community-owned utility and a member of WPPI Energy, provides electricity inside the city. Service upgrades and new meter work are coordinated with Cedarburg Light & Water instead of a large investor-owned utility. Some homes outside the city are served by We Energies, so check your bill if you're not sure.

Code changes that affect Cedarburg projects
Wisconsin's electrical code, SPS 316, adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code effective September 1, 2026. The change homeowners notice most is NEC 230.67, which requires a Type 1 or Type 2 whole-house surge-protective device on services that supply homes. If you're replacing a service or panel in Cedarburg, a surge protector is now part of the job, not an add-on. Our surge protection guide explains what it protects.
