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.
