A permit in Tucson can run up to 95 dollars depending on the size of the installation. The best way of finding out a price of the permit is to ask an electrical contractor for an estimate on the job that you want done. Ask the contractor what the cost of the permit is, as a break out price. If the contractor says that you don't need a permit then move on to another contractor. It is in your best interest to obtain a permit and get the job inspected by an inspector. That way if anything goes wrong after the installation is finished and the insurance company gets involved, you won't get blamed for an illegal wiring installation that had never been inspected.

What gauge wire to use for direct burial for a garage that is 400 feet from your house?

Do you need to change the wire size going from 100 amp service to 150 amp service?
Yes, the wire size has to be increased. The existing 100 amp service will now probably have a #3 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C which is rated for 100 and 105 amps respectively. Increasing to a 150 amp service will use a #1/0 wire size. If you are thinking of an upgrade, skip the 150 amp service and go to a 200 amp panel. New homes are installing 200 amp 42 circuit panels. The extra cost is only reflected in the materials as the labour costs will be the same regardless whether a 150 amp or a 200 amp panel is installed. The wire size for a 200 amp panel is #3/0. With an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C the rating is 200 or 210 amps respectively.
