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.
