New Construction or Upgrade

Submit Building Plans for Review and Approval by KEYS

To begin the process of obtaining electrical service for your new construction project, KEYS requires a complete set of signed and sealed building plans. These plans must be reviewed and approved by KEYS before the City or County Planning Departments will accept the plans for permitting.  

How to Submit Plans:

Online: Submit Plans by completing the online form and uploading your building plans.

In-Person: Drop off plans to 1001 James Street, Key West, FL  

KEYS review process typically takes about 5 to 7 business days.  Once approved for a meter location, KEYS will return the approved plans via the email provided or notify you for pick up if physical plans were submitted.  

If you are still designing your project and would like input from KEYS' Engineering Department, please contact us at 305-295-1042. KEYS can provide information on overhead vs underground service options and modular home installation requirements and considerations.

If you would like to coordinate a meter location, please contact Customer Programs at 305-295-1080.
