Madison Electrical and HVAC Permit Guide

Madison permit charts and data sheets identify when electrical, HVAC, and other residential repair permits are needed.

Permit takeaway

Madison's permit chart says projects such as electrical outlets, switches, fixtures, furnaces, water heaters, central air conditioners, and bathroom alterations can require permits or data sheets.

Zoning and placement

Some equipment placement, such as central air conditioner condensers, may need a site plan.

Building and trade review

Madison data sheets are used for permit types that do not require plan review or after plans have been approved.
