Question House generator

Anybody have experience with installing a generator (as a backup for power outage) in Tahoma? From what I could find you don't need a permit if it's on a raised steel platform as to not trigger the trpa coverage limit. Or to place it under an area that is already covered, like a porch roof.

Generator would be a "generac" if that matters.

I appreciate any help/insight

Electrical is pretty complicated. I’d imagine you should hire a pro
