… Most municipal jurisdictions do not have electrical inspectors on their staff. They use the services of the state electrical inspectors from the Department of Labor and Industry.

… State electrical inspectors do not routinely perform final electrical inspections on new single-family homes unless: a) the jurisdiction makes a formal request for an electrical final, or b) the electrical contractor is under investigation for sub-standard practices.

Only the State of Washington, to the best of our knowledge, fails to practice this essential life safety oversight and control (final inspections) in single-family dwellings.
