What the Elk Grove electrical panel upgrade permits describe
We read the description each applicant wrote, leave out the standard wording the city adds to every permit, and sort the permit by the words it uses. The permit type the city chose is not used here. Where the description does not say, we count it as not stated. The most common kind here is 200 amps named.
- 200 amps named: 170 permits (55%), median $4,000
- Less than 200 amps named: 121 permits (39%), median $4,750
- Not stated in the description: 7 permits (2%)
10 permits are in groups we leave out because our spot check of their descriptions found fewer than 80% labelled correctly.
