Yes — virtually all Wisconsin jurisdictions require an electrical permit and inspection for service entrance upgrades, panel replacements, and load center relocations. The permit is pulled through your local AHJ, which may be a city building department, county, or state authority. The specific process varies by municipality; contact the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) — Electrical Section or your local AHJ for requirements.
