I was told by a city code office employee via email that I only need a permit "If you want to add/upgrade electrical receptacles".
My plan, as part of a basement bedroom remodel, is to replace an existing metal box receptacle with a metal box slightly bigger, and to more securely (tapcons, wood) attach it to the masonry wall, rather than the shoddy way the builder did it (cut nails on scrap plywood).
I assume that "upgrade" he means add amperage, voltage, 220 vs 110, etc?
Am I interpreting this right?
