An electrical permit may be issued to a person holding a valid, unexpired, unrevoked California electrical contractor's license, or to a person holding a valid, unexpired, unrevoked California general contractor's license where the contractor is working on a permitted job and is performing two or more crafts on the permitted job.

In the first fifteen days of each calendar month, the holder of an annual permit shall report to the county building official on all electrical work done under the annual permit during the preceding month.
