Rule 661-552.2 - Request for inspection

Prior to commencement of any electrical installation requiring an inspection, the person making such installation shall notify the electrical inspection program of the installation by applying for a permit, unless the installation is covered by an annual permit issued pursuant to subrule 552.1(2), and shall request an inspection of the installation through one of the following methods:

(1) An inspection may be requested by completing and electronically submitting a Request for Permit form, available on the Web site of the electrical inspection program. Payment of the permit and inspection fees shall be submitted with the form in accordance with the instructions on the electrical inspection section Web site.

Note: The Web site to obtain, complete, and submit a Request for Permit form is, as of October 29, 2008: www.dps.state.ia.us/fm/electrical/inspection/.

(2) An inspection may be requested by completing a Request for Inspection form and mailing it to the electrical inspection section as provided in rule 661-550.2 (103). The Request for Inspection form may be obtained upon request to the electrical inspection section or from the Web site of the electrical inspection program. If a Request for Inspection form is submitted by mail, it shall be postmarked no less than seven days prior to the commencement of the installation.

(3) An inspection may be requested by completing a Request for Inspection form and submitting it by fax transmission to the electrical inspection section at (515)725-6151. The Request for Inspection form may be obtained upon request to the electrical inspection section or from the Web site of the electrical inspection program.

(4) Modification of permits and failure to pay inspection fees. Inspection fees will normally be paid at the time a permit is obtained. However, additional fees may apply if a permit is modified by an inspector, based upon inspection of the electrical installation. The person who obtained the original permit shall be notified immediately by the inspector of the modification and of the amount of any additional fees which are due. Any additional fees shall be due at the time the person responsible for payment receives notification of modification of the permit.

a. If an additional fee or portion of the fee is more than 60 days past due, the staff of the board shall notify the person responsible for payment of the fee of the necessity of promptly making the payment.

b. If an additional fee or portion of the fee is more than 120 days past due, the secretary of the board may suspend the ability of the person responsible for the payment to obtain inspection permits. The secretary shall restore the person's ability to obtain permits when payment of the past due amount has been received. Suspension of a person's ability to obtain permits may be appealed to the board as provided in rule 661-503.4 (103).

c. If payment of a fee or portion of a fee is more than 180 days past due, the board may refer the debt for collection to the department of revenue pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 272D.
