Utilities & permits

Power Company and Permits in Bay City

For service upgrades, meter loops and new service, we coordinate the disconnect, reconnect and meter set with the utility or electric co-op that serves your address. Inside city limits, most electrical work needs a city permit; we pull it where required and pass the fee through at cost.

Bay City is served by AEP Texas, which owns the lines and sets the meter; your retail electric provider is separate. Some rural addresses in Matagorda County are served by an electric cooperative instead. Inside Bay City limits, electrical permits come from the City of Bay City Planning & Development Services Division. Outside city limits, a permit typically isn’t required, but the utility or co-op still has to approve a new or upgraded service.
