Do I need a permit to replace electrical panel?

If I replace my electrical panel myself do I need to pull a permit in order to be able to replace the electrical breaker box in my house?

If you're the homeowner and replacing the electrical panel yourself then you don't need a permit to do the job.

A permit is only required to replace an electrical panel or other electrical equipment inside your home if someone else such as an electrician does the job.

So if you want to replace the electrical panel in your home then yes you can do so without a permit.
