Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Electrical panel or service upgrade usually requires a permit in Oklahoma. Confirm the specifics with Unincorporated Greer County.

Oklahoma law lets a city or town require that no electrical work be done without a city or town permit and appoint an electrical inspector (59 O.S. 1693). An individual does not need a state license to do electrical work on their own property or residence unless a local ordinance requires one (59 O.S. 1692(B)(3)); this is a licensing exemption, not a permit exemption. The 2024 IRC exempts only replacement of branch circuit overcurrent devices of the required capacity in the same location (R105.2, Electrical item 3); replacing a panel or service is not exempt. Oklahoma struck the 2024 IRC emergency disconnect requirement (E3601.8) from the statewide code, although a local jurisdiction may adopt higher standards (OAC 748:20-6-41; 59 O.S. 1000.29).
