Booking inspections. When calling for an inspection you have to speak to the inspector directly, and the department doesn't take inspection requests by email (Inspections and Inspectors). Have the permit number ready, and make sure every signature is on the job card first; the permit card stays on site until the job is done (Building Department).
Closing out the permit. Permits stay open until a final inspection is done. The licensed contractor or owner is responsible for calling for it, and the town notes that open permits can cause problems when a property is sold (Building Department).
Fees. Westford's posted fee schedule dates from 2004 and we couldn't read a current residential electrical fee from it, so ask the Building Department or your electrician. The department doesn't refund fees once paid (permit fees).
Licensing. We look up an electrician's Massachusetts license before referring them, and you can check any license yourself on the state license lookup.
Last verified November 2026. Fees, restrictions and deadlines on this page are due for re-checking by May 2027. New England Electric Pros is a referral service. We don't pull permits or do electrical work; the electrician who does the job files the permit.
Westford's homes
Mill-village doubles and owner-occupied single-family homes
About 81.5% of Westford's homes are detached single-family houses and 86.2% are owner-occupied (Housing Production Plan). The villages are older: mill owners built workers' housing in Graniteville and Forge Village from the 1870s, and later Colonial Revival doubles and some four-family row houses around 1915–25 (master plan).
That gives electricians two kinds of call: older village houses where the wiring and meter arrangements date from another era, and larger single-family homes adding heat pumps, EV chargers and standby generators.

FAQ
Westford electrical questions
How do I book an electrical inspection in Westford?
By phone, speaking to the inspector directly. The department doesn't take inspection requests by email. The electrical inspector's office hour is 7 to 8 am, and inspections run 8 am to noon.
Who has to call for the final inspection?
The licensed contractor or the owner. Westford notes that open permits can cause problems when you sell, so make sure the final is done.
How much is an electrical permit in Westford?
The town's posted fee schedule is from 2004 and doesn't show a readable residential electrical fee. Ask the Building Department, 978-692-5527, or your electrician.
Are Westford's historic villages local historic districts?
Five of the six villages are on the National Register of Historic Places. We didn't find a local historic district commission that reviews exterior changes, but check with the town before altering the outside of a house in a village.
What does it cost me to use New England Electric Pros?
Nothing. We don't charge homeowners for the request or the referral; the electrician prices the job.
