Because North Reading is inside RMLD's territory, an electrician here has a two-step obligation the rest of the region does not: pull a Utility Authorization Number from RMLD and a town electrical permit before the work, then make sure the town wiring inspection is completed and reported back to the utility. The town publishes its residential electrical fees openly — $100 for a main service panel up to 200 amps, $200 above 200 amps, $75 per EV charger, $100 per air conditioning or heat pump unit, $150 for solar, a $75 minimum, and a $100 fine plus double fee for unpermitted work. Permits are filed online through PermitEyes, which the town has used since September 2019.
