Electrical work in Hazel Park
Hazel Park's Building Department, 111 East Nine Mile Road, says it receives building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and sign plans and permits, with City Hall at 248-546-7000. The Statewide Jurisdiction List (revised October 6, 2026) shows electrical enforcement as local, so this is the office to deal with, not LARA. Ask it for the current electrical fee sheet. The housing is old and inexpensive: 86.6 percent of homes were built before 1980, and the median value is $141,200.
When a house is worth that much, a rewiring or panel upgrade is a large share of it, so get the scope written down and compare more than one quote. The state's service map shows DTE Electric across Hazel Park at each spot we sampled, and a call to DTE will confirm your own address. DTE's EV charger rebate is income-qualified and prints no dollar amount (as of Oct 19, 2026; amounts and availability can change).
BLS lists Detroit-area electricians at a mean of $38.10 an hour and a median of $39.42, which is pay and not price. Ferndale is 1.7 miles away and Madison Heights 3.1.
