Do you need power?

If a meter is present at the property, please contact your utility providers:

If no meter is present, please follow these steps.

1. Contact an electrician who is licensed by the City of Shelbyville to inspect the property for any electrical hazards.

Here is a list of current registered electricians as of January 2016

2. The electrician will obtain a reconnect permit from the City of Shelbyville’s Building Department. Residential reconnect permits for properties with two units or fewer are $24 per meter. Residential reconnect permits for structures with three of more units are $50 per meter.

3. Once a reconnect permit is obtained, the electrician will schedule an inspection time with a building inspector.

4. The building inspector will perform an reconnect inspection. If the inspection passes, a green tag will be left at the meter box location. If it does not pass, a list of outstanding issues will be left at the site or with the electrician. Once the outstanding issues have been resolved, a $50 re-inspection fee will need to be paid prior to scheduling a another inspection.

5. After a reconnect inspection has been passed, the building inspector will notify the power company of their approval. You should contact the power company for further instructions at this time.
