Decision — first matching row wins
| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | voltage = "line" | yes | Electrical Permit | Line-voltage (120V) exterior lighting circuits are standard permitted electrical work — new circuits, in-ground wiring, and fixtures near water (pool/pond) additionally trigger bonding/GFCI review. |
| 2 | otherwise | no | — | Low-voltage landscape/pool lighting run off a transformer is explicitly listed as not requiring a permit in Lee County (LDC §6-117, low-voltage systems); Collier follows the same FBC low-voltage pattern. The transformer's own 120V supply circuit, if newly added, can still be a small electrical permit item in some authorities — ask if in doubt. |
