Tampa electrical permit packages, built for Accela.
The Volt Planner's Permit Package generator is calibrated for the City of Tampa AHJ. Every cover sheet renders "City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, FL" in the header, and the form exposes the exact fields the Tampa Accela Citizen Access portal asks for: Permit Type subtype, TECO Layout Number, violation affiliation with CMP number, and owner-builder status.
The output is a 4-page PDF: cover sheet, NEC 220.82 Optional Method load calculation, panel schedule, and compliance notes page. Every NEC calculation is shown step-by-step with the section it came from.
