Mount Pleasant, SC Building Safety: Electrical Permits (2026)

001(F) of the Mount Pleasant Code adopts the National Electrical Code, as amended by the South Carolina Building Codes Council, by reference as though fully set forth in the town's own code. 003. 002 as other building permits: the Building Official sets valuation from the current ICC Building Valuation Tables or the contract amount, whichever is higher, and calculates the fee from the Department of Engineering and Development Services' latest fee schedule. No permit is required where materials-and-labor valuation is $1,000 or less, unless an inspection is otherwise required.

Where the valuation exceeds $1,000 and a structural review applies, a non-refundable plan review fee is due at submittal, though the fee drops to 10% when a town-approved third-party reviewer handles the review. Starting electrical work before obtaining a required permit does not excuse the contractor from full code compliance or from other penalties, and the town charges the fee under its latest schedule regardless. 999.
