Answer: In some cases
Explanation: According to an article I found in Sapling, and I quote, "However, whether you can legally do electrical work on your house will depend on the type of work you need done and your city or county's laws. In most cases, you will need to obtain a permit before you can move forward. You'll want to carefully understand the risks of DIY electrical work and the law to decide whether you should hire a professional instead."
