In most cases, the following professionals can sign off on an electrical inspection:

1. Licensed Electrician

• A licensed electrician who has completed the necessary training and certification can perform certain electrical inspections, depending on local regulations. Some minor electrical work may only require sign-off from a licensed electrician, particularly if they completed the work themselves.

2. Electrical Inspector

• A certified electrical inspector from your local municipality or a private inspection agency is typically the professional responsible for signing off on more significant or complex electrical work. These inspectors ensure that electrical installations meet local building codes and safety standards.

3. Building Inspector

• In some cases, a building inspector with electrical expertise may sign off on an electrical inspection, especially if it’s part of a broader home inspection for new constructions, renovations, or real estate transactions.

4. Utility Company Inspector

• If electrical work involves changes to the electrical meter or connection to the utility grid, a utility company inspector may need to sign off to ensure the work meets their safety and technical standards.

5. Permit Authority

• Local government permit offices often require electrical inspections before granting final approval for any work done. The inspector who signs off must be recognized by the local jurisdiction and licensed to certify compliance with electrical codes.

Make sure to consult with your local building department to understand the specific requirements for who can sign off on electrical inspections in your area, as these regulations may vary by region.
