I want to replace the light fixtures on the outside of my home. Do I need an electrical permit?

No. Repairs or replacement of lighting fixtures, light
switches, devices or receptacles do not require a permit. CAUTION: All
replacement light fixtures and switches are now required to be grounded for
safety. If you are unfamiliar with how to ground to an existing electrical
system, contact a licensed electrician.
