Permit fees for solar panels are $177.41 and are charged as soon as the Building Department accepts the permit. These fees need to be paid before the department will submit the application for review. Permit fees pay for processing the permit and the required inspection to make sure your system is installed according to code. After the invoice is received, payments may be made by phone at 801-446-5323 with a credit card.

Plan review will take approximately 10-15 working days, after which we may require corrections that need to be made to your plans. The permit will be issued after plans are approved and all fees are paid.

When scheduling an inspection, please call the Building Department at 801-446-5327 at least one business day before you wish the inspection to take place. You may request a morning or afternoon inspection when the installer will be available to meet the inspector at the house. You may call the morning of the inspection to get a closer time estimate of the inspection. Be prepared to provide or show pictures as required on the Inspection Requirements List for approval at the inspection. Once approved, our office will send a net meter clearance to the power company.
