Yes. Whole home generator installations in Sarasota require permits for the electrical work, gas line connection, and the generator pad. The permitting authority depends on your address:
- Unincorporated Sarasota County homes: Sarasota County Building & Development Services
- City of Sarasota addresses: City of Sarasota Building Division
- Venice, North Port, and Longboat Key: their respective municipal building departments
GenerX handles all permit applications and inspections on your behalf as part of every installation. Our in-house team is familiar with each Sarasota-area jurisdiction’s specific requirements and typical approval timelines.
