Electrical reports in Boca Raton
- Submittals follow the city's Recertification Guidelines, with an Electrical Safety Report Checklist and a Structural Safety Report Checklist alongside the 30 Year Inspection Coversheet.
- The electrical inspection may also document emergency lighting, exit lighting, site lighting and egress pathway illumination, and concerns go to the building official to take up with the fire official.
- Electrical systems of 400 amperes or more need infrared thermography with all equipment covers removed, by a Level II or higher infrared thermographer with more than five years of commercial experience.
- The report combines a Structural Report and an Electrical Report on the city's own forms, with a narrative and color photos. The engineers tell the Building Official three business days before each inspection so city inspectors can attend, and any draft given to the owner goes to the city at the same time.
- Boca uses the state threshold building definition, more than three stories or 50 feet tall, or a large assembly occupancy, to decide which buildings follow the threshold rules.
How we handle electrical recertification in Boca Raton
Boca Raton is one of the few places outside Miami-Dade and Broward with its own recertification program, and it is specific. The city's checklists cover structural and electrical safety, the fee is $500, and the city publishes when buildings are due through 2031. We build the filing to the checklists and keep the city's schedule in the board's calendar.[1]

What the electrical report covers
The professional inspects the building's electrical systems listed in the county's recertification guidelines and reports deficiencies that need repair. Larger systems also get infrared thermography, which uses a thermal camera to spot overheating connections. Ask the engineer which items your building's system size requires.[6][7]
