Hello. To what degree (if any) can a homeowner perform their own
electrical and plumbing work in Massachusetts?

A new 200 amp service was installed (with the proper permit) by a
licensed electrician; can we install the new wiring for the house
interior without a permit?


Not likely. Here in New Jersey a homeowner can work on his/her own single
family detached house as long as it is not a rental unit, but a permit would
still be required. You are better off having a permit and getting the work
inspected.


Also wondering if all the plumbing can be done by the homeowner so
long as it's signed-off by a licensed plumber?


You had better consult with a plumber who is willing to do that BEFORE you
start. By having him sign off on your work he assumes the responsibility
for your installation.
