Permits and inspections in Harker Heights

Our electrical contractor license (TECL #39622) is statewide. We file the permit, handle the utility paperwork and meet the inspector.

  • 01

    Who issues electrical permits: City of Harker Heights Planning and Development Department (Building Official, Permits and Inspections), 305 Millers Crossing, using MGO Connect. Choose Harker Heights, not Bell County, as the jurisdiction in MGO.

  • 02

    How to apply: Register and apply in MGO Connect. Every contractor must hold a current city registration; registrations are annual and expire December 31. Licensed trades (electrical, plumbing, mechanical, irrigation) register under their trade, and an application is returned if the master electrician's license on file is expired. No permit is issued to a contractor with an expired registration or trade license.

  • 03

    Inspections: Schedule in MGO or by phone through MGO once the permit is approved and fees are paid. Requests made before 4 p.m. can usually be scheduled for the next business day, but the city adds them in the order received and limits inspections per day.

  • 04

    What to know locally: The city held a contractor meeting in July 2026 on adopting the 2026 National Electrical Code, covering changes from the 2023 NEC and the adoption timeline. Confirm which edition applies to your permit date.

  • 05

    Utility coordination: Oncor (lists Harker Heights among the cities it serves, through its Killeen area office). Oncor needs completed load forms, one for each voltage and phase, and plans showing the preferred transformer location. Three-phase service cables installed by the electrical contractor are terminated in the transformer by Oncor, using two-hole lugs the customer provides.

  • 06

    Typical review time: Not published by the city.
