Question : Do I need an electrical permit? I had structural plans approved for a new dormer, that didt include ele work?
In PG county MD I am calling for a framing inspection, but I do not have any electric in the new dormer. The plans that the county approved do not show any electrical work. Do I 1) need to put electric in to pass the framing inspection 2) need to pull an electrical permit?
structural inspection

If there is no need to run wiring, you would not need a permit.

The framing inspection is just that, a framing inspection. The electric, plumbing, insulation and HVAC will require separate inspections, they will also need a final inspection to check that everything is up to code. Talk to the framing inspector when he comes and he should be able to help you sort out what else you need to do.

If you are going to add electrical or any type of plumbing or venting then you need to have it put in before your framing inspection due to the fact that all of these trades will have to cut or drill into framing. I don’t think you need a permit to run wiring just need it to pass inspection but call your local permit office due to the fact that every county/state is different!

Framing, IDK. By code you need electrical outlets within 6 feet of the door and then every 12 feet along the floor. For this you do need an electrical permit and inspection before the work is complete. Get the electrical permit and the inspections. I suspect that your plans should have included electrical, but many permit departments are very specialized and do not communicate with each other.
