CITY/PARISH PERMIT REQUIREMENTS These are the general requirements for permitting in parishes and cities in our area. DEMCO will adhere to these and any requirements imposed by governing authorities.

POWER THEFTS AND METER TAMPER – A permit to reconnect service will be required on all locations where power theft has occurred and on any location where meter tamper has caused damage to the meter pan.

The following permits and inspections are required by local government agencies prior to connection of electrical service.

SECOND OR ADDITIONAL SERVICES AT AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS – As before, any new service requires a permit. However, EBR in some cases will no longer allow additional meters at an existing address. This is a zoning decision unrelated to DEMCO. If this type of application is made by a Member, we will not be able to assign or build a job for the order until a cleared permit has been received.
