Do I need a permit for ev charger installation in Unincorporated Tangipahoa Parish?
Most likely yes. Ev charger installation usually requires a permit in Louisiana. Confirm the specifics with Unincorporated Tangipahoa Parish.
The 2020 National Electrical Code with Louisiana amendments is part of the statewide Uniform Construction Code (LAC 17:I.115), enforced by the parish or municipal permit office; no state agency issues residential electrical permits. Electrical contracting worth $10,000 or more requires an LSLBC Electrical classification (La. R.S. 37:2150.1); this is a licensing rule, not a permit exemption. The commission has approved the 2023 National Electrical Code to take effect January 1, 2027, so the code edition that applies depends on when the permit is issued.
