Town of Tiburon

A city address is usually permitted by the city, not the county — but not always, and some authorities keep building and hand electrical to someone else. Getting this wrong costs the whole submittal, because every requirement below belongs to whoever actually holds jurisdiction. Check the overlays in the same pass: an HOA, a historic district, a windstorm certification or a system-size cap can reshape the design, and all of them are cheaper to find now than after the array is laid out.

• Is this authority the AHJ for residential solar at this address? Yes 95% · authority page
• What does this authority permit itself, and what does it delegate? Both 90% · department page
• Is a permit required for a residential rooftop PV system? Yes 92% · published checklist
• Is there a separate electrical permit, or is it combined? Combined 82% · authority page + fee schedule
• Is a HOA or architectural approval required first? No (for SolarAPP+-eligible rooftop retrofit PV/ESS) 60% · authority page (proved absence)
• Is there a historic-district review? Unclear / general historic-building review may apply, no solar-specific rule found 45% · application form (partial)
• Is a wind or windstorm certification required? No 55% · ordinance/fee schedule (proved absence)
• Is a Specific Use Permit or Council approval ever required? No Specific Use Permit or Council-level approval requirement was found for residential solar; non-SolarAPP+-eligible systems (ground-mount, BIPV, oversized, or otherwise ineligible) are routed to standard Building Division plan review, not to the Planning Commission or Town Council. 55% · authority page (partial)
• Is there a system-size cap on residential generation? No hard kW cap stated on the residential permit itself. SolarAPP+ eligibility is scoped by structure/mounting type (main dwelling rooftop only; no ballasted or ground-mounted systems; no BIPV) rather than by a stated kW ceiling. The Town's own SolarAPP+ page does set an operational threshold: systems 'greater than 10kWh of PV solar' (together with any project using storage batteries) trigger a mandatory separate Fire District permit/inspection ahead of the Town's final building inspection. 65% · authority page

Several authorities require the electrical permit to be pulled by a licensed electrician, or require the contractor to be registered with them BEFORE applying. Registration is not same-day. This is second on the list rather than fourth because it is the step most likely to stop the job before the drawings matter.

• Who is allowed to pull the electrical permit? Either 78% · authority page + application form
• Must the contractor be registered with this authority before applying? Yes 60% · fee schedule
• Is a homeowner permitted to self-install and self-permit? Yes 75% · application form

Almost everywhere wants a site plan, a one-line or three-line electrical diagram, equipment cut sheets with listings, and a structural attachment detail. Build it against the published checklist rather than the last jurisdiction you worked in — the checklist is what the reviewer marks against.

• What documents make up a complete submittal? Two distinct pathways. SolarAPP+-eligible path (main-dwelling rooftop PV/ESS retrofits, licensed contractors only): a SolarAPP+ Approval Document generated at gosolarapp.org, uploaded together with plans, licensed-contractor declaration and payment through the eTRAKiT 'SOLARAPP' permit type; the SolarAPP+-generated inspection checklist must be printed and kept on site. Standard/non-eligible path (ground-mount, BIPV, non-eligible structures, or any non-SolarAPP+ project): a completed Building Permit Application, permit drawings meeting the Town's Minimum Residential Plan Submittal Requirements (site/floor plan, address/scope of work/designer signature on every sheet, manufacturer installation instructions, ICC-ES evaluation reports where applicable, structural calcs/Title 24 energy calcs where triggered), submitted electronically to building@townoftiburon.gov. 85% · authority page + published checklist
• How many copies, and in what format? Electronic only, one set. The standard-path handout instructs applicants to 'Submit one electronic set of plans' by email to building@townoftiburon.gov; the SolarAPP+ path instead uploads all SolarAPP+-generated documents, plans and declarations directly through the eTRAKiT online permit application, with no paper set described. 80% · published checklist
• Is a site plan required, and what must it show? Yes. The Minimum Residential Plan Submittal Requirements require a 'Basic site/floor plan showing the location of work' on all residential submittals. For the energy-system-specific requirement, Tiburon Fire Protection District's Ordinance #133 (Chapter 12, Section 1201.4, adopted into the 2025 CFC) requires 'A scaled and dimensioned site plan showing the location of all energy systems, property lines, buildings, service and electrical panels, transfer switches, disconnects, underground wiring and piping, fuel type and piping, map placard and signage,' and requires the site plan to 'clearly designate property frontage for viewer orientation.' The same Site Card Placard requirement is illustrated in Fire Protection Standard 523. 85% · published checklist + ordinance
• Is a one-line / three-line diagram required? Not independently required by the Town as a stated checklist item; embedded instead in the SolarAPP+ national tool's own automated data entry for eligible systems, and required on the utility side by PG&E Electric Rule 21 (isolating device must be 'clearly marked on the submitted single line diagram'). 55% · utility DG manual (inference)

Most authorities now take the whole application through a portal, and several states cap or constrain what a residential solar permit may cost. Check whether plan check is billed separately before you quote the job.

• Which permit portal does this authority use? The Town's own eTRAKiT portal (trakit.townoftiburon.gov/eTRAKiT/) for permit application, payment and inspection scheduling, combined with the national SolarAPP+ tool (gosolarapp.org) for automated design review/approval of eligible residential rooftop PV and ESS. Not Accela, not a locally-built portal. 92% · portal
• Can the whole application be completed online? Yes 90% · portal
• What does a residential solar permit cost? $500 flat (residential, systems up to 15kW/kWth), plus $15 per kilowatt for each kilowatt above 15kW, collected as the electrical permit fee. Ground-mounted ('non-roof-top') solar energy systems are NOT eligible for this flat fee and instead pay the standard valuation-based Table 1 building permit fee. On top of the base fee, other Town surcharges may apply to solar/electrical permits generally: a 10% Long-Range Planning surcharge (Resolution 32-2015 Exhibit B item 7, expressly 'includes building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and grading fees'), a Technology Recovery Fee (valuation-tiered, $15-$1,925+ table), the state Seismic (SMIP) tax and State Building Standards Commission fee (both valuation-based), and potentially the Town's Street Impact Fee (1% of building permit project valuation) as a separate Public Facility Development Fee. 75% · fee schedule (image PDF, OCR'd; effective 10/18/2015)
• How is the fee calculated? Tiered 78% · fee schedule
• Is there a separate plan-check fee? No separate line item for the roof-top solar flat fee itself (it is a single number 'collected as electrical permit fee' with no stated plan-check/inspection split). For standard (Table 1, e.g. ground-mount) permits, a separate Plan Checking Fee equal to 65% of the Table 1 building permit fee IS charged (Resolution 32-2015 Exhibit B item 5). 70% · fee schedule

Interconnection is a separate process from the permit and usually the longer pole. Where the utility does not depend on the permit being issued, running both at once is the single biggest saving available on a residential job.

• What is the stated plan-review turnaround? Instant / same day for SolarAPP+-eligible systems — 'For the Town of Tiburon, SolarApp+ projects will instantly issue the permit after permit payment is complete.' 92% · authority page
• How long is an issued permit valid before it expires? 18 months from issuance, extendable one additional 6 months at no cost (24 months total); if work is not complete within 24 months, reactivation fees apply (increasing with successive reactivations), and a reactivated permit is valid for 6 further months. 90% · department page
• Which utility handles interconnection here? Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) 90% · authority page
• Where does the utility sit in the sequence? After permit / parallel with a final gate at Town+Fire inspection clearance 78% · utility DG manual

The NEC edition a jurisdiction enforces is often a cycle behind the newest one published, and local amendments sit on top of it. Rapid shutdown, conductor sizing and labelling all change between editions, so the edition in force is the first thing to establish, not the last.

• Which NEC edition is in force? 2020 NEC (via the 2022 California Electrical Code) — inferred, not directly confirmed from the Town's own electrical-code adoption ordinance. 55% · authority page (inference; primary ordinance unreachable)
• Which building code edition is in force? 2022 California Building Code / 2022 California Residential Code, per the Town's own current Building Division handout — NOTE this appears stale against the statewide-mandatory 2025 Title 24 cycle (effective 1 Jan 2026). 70% · published handout (dated 'Updated May 2026')
• Which fire code edition is in force? 2025 California Fire Code plus the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, for the Tiburon Fire Protection District (most of the peninsula and Belvedere) — per TFD Ordinance #133, 'Adopting and Modifying the 2025 California Fire Code & 2025 [WUI Code]' (adopted ~13 Nov 2025), superseding TFD Ordinance #131 (2022 CFC). Southern Marin Fire District's own current fire-code ordinance could NOT be independently confirmed this run (smfd.org returned HTTP 403 to both a direct fetch and the fetch tool, apparently Cloudflare bot protection). 75% · adopting ordinance (image PDF, OCR'd)
• Are there local amendments to any of the above? Yes, on the fire side (Tiburon Fire Protection District). TFD Ordinance #133 adds and amends numerous CFC sections beyond straight adoption: Section 102.7.3 (Nationally Recognized Listed Products), Section 104.1.1/104.12 (Fire Prevention Resource Sharing), Sections 105.5.60 and 105.6.26 (local operational/construction permits — radioactive material, exterior wildfire protection systems, home backup generators, vegetation management plans), Chapter 12 additions 1201.4-1201.7 (Energy Systems: construction documents, signs/labels, disconnect, operational testing) and a new Section 1208 (Home Backup Generator), plus gate-safeguard and violation-penalty amendments. The Town's OWN building/electrical code amendments (Title IV, Chapter 13 of the Municipal Code) could not be confirmed directly this session because municode's Angular shell could not be bypassed (see Q29/Q30 notes), so this answer is confirmed for Fire only. 75% · adopting ordinance (image PDF, OCR'd)
• What is the installation judged against? The installation is judged against: the 2022 California Residential/Building Code as currently cited by the Town's own submittal handout (though the statewide-mandatory 2025 cycle should apply from 1 Jan 2026 — see Q30); the 2020 NEC via the 2022 CEC (inferred, see Q29); the 2025 California Fire Code Section 1205 (Photovoltaic Systems) and Section 1207.11 (ESS) as adopted by TFD Ordinance #133, plus TFD's own added Chapter 12 sections 1201.4-1201.7 (site plan, signs/labels, disconnect, operational shutdown test) and Fire Protection Standard 523 (labeling/testing detail); and, on the utility side, PG&E Electric Rule 21 and the PG&E Greenbook. 62% · ordinance + published standard + utility DG manual

Ridge setbacks and roof access pathways are fire-service requirements and they constrain the array layout. They are the most common cause of a redesign after the fire department comments on a plan set.

• What ridge setback and access pathways are required? The 2025 CFC Section 1205 (Photovoltaic Systems) applies as adopted by TFD Ordinance #133 with no local ridge-setback or roof-access-pathway amendment found (searched in full via OCR; only Chapter 12 energy-systems additions 1201.4-1201.7 and gate-setback amendments at Section 503.6.3 were found, neither addressing array layout). The one Tiburon/Marin-specific array-related rule is a segmentation, not a setback: Fire Protection Standard 523 item 1 states 'Individual solar arrays shall not exceed 100 feet in length without a 5-foot separation between arrays.' 78% · fire code + amendments (image PDF, OCR'd)

Which rapid-shutdown rule applies follows directly from the NEC edition in force, and the initiation device has to be at a location the fire service can reach and identify. This is inspected, and it is labelled.

• Is rapid shutdown required, and to which NEC edition? Yes. NEC Article 690.12 rapid shutdown applies via the adopted NEC edition (2020 NEC, inferred — see Q29). Tiburon's fire districts separately require their OWN physical whole-system shutdown test at final inspection: TFD Ordinance #133 Section 1201.7 ('Operational Testing') requires that 'a successful result of the shutdown test shall include termination of all alternate energy power sources serving the building (i.e. main service, photovoltaic system, energy storage systems, and generators, when installed),' tested by closing the main service breaker to simulate a normal power failure. Fire Protection Standard 523 adds an explicit exception for Enphase-type micro-inverter systems that de-energize at the roof panels upon loss of AC reference, leaving no energized potential inside the structure when the main breaker trips. 85% · ordinance (image PDF, OCR'd)

The NEC sets a baseline for permanent markings at the service equipment and the disconnecting means. On top of that, an authority may specify its own wording, and the utility may specify more again. Where any of them writes its own text, a generic off-the-shelf label set will not pass — this is the detail most often fixed on a return visit.

• Which placards does this authority require at the service equipment? Three layers. (1) NEC-required labeling under the adopted electrical code (Article 690/705 series). (2) Tiburon/Southern Marin Fire Protection Standard 523's own five-part label set, codified at TFD Ordinance #133 Sections 1201.4-1201.6: a Conduit Label (every 20 feet along exterior/interior conduit runs), a Power Source Warning Label (interior AND exterior of the main service panel, stating how many power sources supply the building, what they are, and how to cut all power), a Disconnect Label (on each disconnecting means, identifying its power source), a Disconnect Location Label (on the main PG&E disconnect, directing to any additional disconnects), and a Site Card Placard (see Q41). (3) PG&E's own Greenbook/Rule 21 utility-side placards (engraved line/supply-side placard; AC-disconnect-location signage/maps when the disconnect is more than 10 feet from and out of sight of the meter; open/closed markings on the isolating device). 90% · ordinance / utility spec (image PDF, OCR'd)
• Does the authority specify placard wording of its own? Yes. 92% · published standard (image PDF, OCR'd)
• Does it specify letter height, colour or material? Yes, but the two current Fire District documents disagree on size. Fire Protection Standard 523's general labeling clause states 'All labels shall be prepared as a red label with white font no smaller than 2 inch.' The joint December 2025 PV/ESS Requirements document, by contrast, states the battery disconnect label specifically must use 'a red label in a font no smaller than ½" inch per SMFD Standard 523.' Both documents cite 'Standard 523' as their authority for a red label, but the stated minimum font size differs (2 inch vs ½ inch) — reported as written in each source rather than resolved. 75% · published standard (image PDF, OCR'd) + inspection requirements doc
• Is a site plan / facility map placard required, and what must it show? Yes — a detailed Site Card Placard requirement, not a bare plaque. TFD Ordinance #133 Section 1201.4 requires 'a scaled and dimensioned site plan showing the location of all energy systems, property lines, buildings, service and electrical panels, transfer switches, disconnects, underground wiring and piping, fuel type and piping, map placard and signage,' oriented so it 'clearly designate[s] property frontage for viewer orientation.' Fire Protection Standard 523 Example #5 elaborates: the Site Card Placard must be posted at the exterior main service panel (and at any internally-installed equipment), must show the location/placement of PV arrays (panel layout on the roof), the location of the main service panel, and the location of any disconnects, with each disconnect numerically keyed to the power source it serves — verified at final inspection. 90% · ordinance / published standard (image PDFs, OCR'd)
• Does the UTILITY specify placards beyond the AHJ's? Yes. PG&E's Greenbook (TD-7001M) Section 7.7 requires permanent signage affixed to the electric meter panel indicating an interconnected alternative generation source, plus signage/maps at the meter panel for the AC disconnect location whenever it is more than 10 feet away AND out of line of sight of the meter panel. Section 6.3.a requires an engraved placard on the metering equipment for a line/supply-side connection. Rule 21 Section H.1.d additionally requires open/closed markings on the isolating device and, where the device is not adjacent to the point of common coupling, permanent signage at a PG&E-approved location describing where it is. 80% · utility DG manual
• Where must the labels be placed? At the main service panel (exterior AND interior) and on each disconnecting means (Fire Protection Standard 523/TFD Ordinance #133 Section 1201.5); every 20 feet along any exposed conduit run (eye-level if mounted vertically); on the main PG&E disconnect itself (directional label to any additional disconnects); and, from PG&E's own requirements, on/at the electric meter panel and on the isolating device (Greenbook Section 7.7, Rule 21 Section H.1.d). 85% · published standard / utility spec

Where the AC disconnect must sit relative to the meter is usually the utility's rule, not the building department's. Battery storage frequently carries its own permit, its own inspection and its own fire conditions.

• Where must the AC disconnect be, relative to the meter? No Town-specific rule; governed entirely by PG&E, which itself sets no fixed distance from the meter. PG&E Electric Rule 21 Section H.1.d requires only that the isolating device be located 'near the Point of Interconnection' with no numeric distance specified; the Greenbook's '10 feet' figure (Section 7.7) is a SIGNAGE trigger (extra signage/maps required only once the disconnect is more than 10 feet away AND out of line of sight of the meter), not a maximum allowable distance; and PG&E's Table 6-3 exempts many inverter-based residential installations on self-contained meter panels of 320A or less from needing a dedicated AC disconnect at all. Separately, TFD Ordinance #133 Section 1201.6 requires its own single exterior disconnect located 'as close as possible to the main service panel' — a proximity-to-panel rule, not a proximity-to-meter one. 78% · utility DG manual + ordinance
• Must equipment be on a specific approved list? Yes. 85% · ordinance (image PDF, OCR'd)
• Are batteries permitted, and under what conditions? Permitted, under detailed conditions. The Town's own SolarAPP+ page lists 'Energy storage systems' as an eligible category for the automated permitting path (subject to the same main-dwelling-rooftop/licensed-contractor restrictions as PV). Governing conditions, per the joint PV/ESS Requirements document and Fire Protection Standard 523: ESS complies with 2025 CFC Section 1207.11 (equipment listing verified at plan review and inspection; installation site approved at plan review and verified on site); batteries in enclosed rooms mounted a minimum of 24 inches above the finished floor, with cabinet-mounted batteries requiring a permanent placard; basements/attached garages housing ESS require smoke alarms (or a listed heat alarm where smoke alarms cannot be installed) per CFC 907.2.11, with a minimum 70-decibel alarm at any sleeping room per Standard 523; ESS exposed to vehicle damage must be protected by an approved barrier (CFC 1207.11.7.3); all batteries must tie into a single, jackknife-style exterior disconnect located as close as possible to the main service panel, labeled with a red disconnect label; and a whole-system shutdown test (Section 1201.7) is required at final inspection. 85% · authority page + fire code + amendments
• Is there a separate ESS permit or inspection? Yes, on the fire-inspection side. Tiburon Fire Protection District's own online scheduler offers distinct inspection products for 'PV Only Final Inspection,' 'ESS Only Final Inspection,' and 'PV and ESS Final Inspection,' plus a separate 'PV and/or ESS Re-inspection to Verify Corrections.' The FY26-27 TFD Master Fee Schedule prices these together under one category ('Alternate Power Systems (PV, ESS Battery Systems, Generators)' — Residential Plan Check Review & Inspection, $213.00) rather than as separate dollar lines. On the Town Building side, PV and ESS are applied for under the same 'SOLARAPP' eTRAKiT permit type, with no evidence found of a separate stand-alone ESS building permit number. 78% · department page + fee schedule
• Is a ground mount treated as a structure? Yes. 78% · authority page + fee schedule + zoning definition

Booking is a portal, a phone call or an email depending on the authority, and the notice required is rarely zero. Book before the work is finished rather than after — the lead time, not the work, is usually what sets the date.

• How is an inspection booked? Portal, with phone and email alternatives. Building inspections: scheduled through eTRAKiT online, or by calling the Inspection Line (415-435-7380, option 1) and leaving a message by 6:00am the day of the requested inspection. Fire inspections: Tiburon Fire Protection District runs its own online self-serve scheduler (or email inspections@tiburonfire.org); Southern Marin Fire District is scheduled via smfd.org/request-an-inspection. 92% · department page
• How much notice is required? Varies by agency. Building: inspections can be requested up to 10 days in advance and are available next-day Monday-Thursday; online requests must be made by 6:00am the day of if calling in. Tiburon Fire Protection District: 'Please allow 72 hours for a response' to an emailed inspection request. Southern Marin Fire District: inspections can be scheduled up to 24 hours in advance. 85% · department page
• Are same-day or AM/PM windows offered? Yes. Building inspections offer an AM or PM preference; the assigned two-hour window is posted online by 8:30am the day of the inspection (up to 15 inspections accommodated per window per day; the specific window is not guaranteed). 88% · department page

Some authorities inspect their own solar work; some delegate it, and a few do not inspect the PV equipment itself at all. Who is coming determines what they will look at.

• Does this AHJ perform its own final solar inspection? Split. The Town's Building Division performs its own final building inspection on every permitted system. Separately and additionally, for any system 'greater than 10kWh of PV solar' or any project 'utilizing storage batteries,' the fire district with jurisdiction over that specific address (Tiburon Fire Protection District OR Southern Marin Fire District — see Q53) must perform its OWN separate final inspection, required to be completed BEFORE the Town's own building final inspection. 88% · authority page
• If delegated, to whom? Tiburon Fire Protection District OR Southern Marin Fire District, determined by the project's parcel address. The Town directs applicants to look up the correct agency using the Marin Map Viewer (ArcGIS), searching the address and reading the parcel's 'Fire Authority' attribute. As a rule of thumb, the Town's own Fire Districts page states most of the peninsula and Belvedere fall under Tiburon FPD, while 'most residences west of Trestle Glen Boulevard are likely represented by Southern Marin Fire District.' 88% · department page

A rough-in or mid-roof inspection, where one is required, has to happen before the work it covers is closed up. Missing a stage means opening something back up, and it is the most expensive kind of correction.

• Which inspections are required, and in what order? For SolarAPP+-eligible systems: (1) SolarAPP+ automated design review and approval; (2) eTRAKiT 'SOLARAPP' permit application, upload of SolarAPP+ documents, and payment — permit issues instantly; (3) installation; (4) IF the system exceeds 10kWh PV or includes any battery storage: a mandatory separate final inspection by the address's fire district (TFD or SMFD), with plans on site and all shutoff switches tested operational; (5) the Town Building Division's own final inspection. No rough-in or mid-roof stage is described anywhere in the Town's solar-specific materials. 82% · authority page
• Is a rough-in or mid-roof inspection required? No. 68% · authority page (inference)

The approved plan set, the permit, and the equipment listings should be on site and reachable. Inspectors routinely verify that installed equipment matches what was approved, and that the labels are the ones the plan set promised.

• Is there a published inspection checklist? Yes, on the fire side. The 'SolarAPP+ Express PV and ESS Requirements for Tiburon Fire and Southern Marin Fire' document (published on the Town's own solar page and Helpful Forms page, dated December 2025) is a numbered, published inspection checklist (9 numbered requirements) for the fire final inspection; Fire Protection Standard 523 supplements it with detailed labeling/testing illustrations. No equivalent solar-specific PUBLISHED checklist was found for the Town's own Building final inspection (only the Town's general, non-solar-specific Building Inspections FAQ page). 85% · published checklist
• What must be on site at inspection? The set of approved plans must be on site (explicitly required by the joint PV/ESS Requirements document: 'The set of plans shall be on site'); all shutoff/disconnect switches must be present and operational, as they are tested at the time of inspection; and, per the Town's general Building Inspections practice, the inspection card/permit documentation should be available. 82% · published inspection requirements + department page
• Does the inspector verify labels and listings? Yes. 85% · published inspection requirements

Passing gives you a final or an equivalent sign-off. That is not the same as permission to operate: PTO comes from the utility, and who tells the utility the inspection passed varies. A system left switched off for weeks is usually waiting on this handover.

• What is issued on pass? Final (a passed Final Inspection), not a separate Certificate of Occupancy. 62% · department page (inference)
• Who notifies the utility for PTO? Installer 62% · utility DG manual (inference)
• Is there a re-inspection fee? Layered by agency. Town Building Division: $75 per no-show/missed inspection, and a $75.00 re-inspection fee after two or more failed inspections (Building Inspections FAQ); the underlying fee resolution sets a general re-inspection rate of $75.00/hour (Resolution 32-2015 Exhibit B item 9b). Tiburon Fire Protection District: 'Re-inspection for Corrections/Conditions of Approval' is priced at $164.00 in the FY26-27 Master Fee Schedule (effective 8/1/2026). Southern Marin Fire District: the joint PV/ESS document states 'A fee will be required to be paid when scheduling' a re-inspection, without stating the dollar amount on that document; SMFD's own initial Alternative Energy Systems inspection fee is $297.00 'collected upon scheduling' — SMFD's own fee schedule could not be reached directly this session (smfd.org returned HTTP 403 to both a direct fetch and the web-fetch tool). 82% · department page + fee schedules
• How are corrections issued and cleared? Corrections are issued as findings at the failed inspection itself, with re-inspection required to clear them (both Building and Fire); for standard building permits, 'additional plan review required by additions or revisions to plans' is billed at $75/hour minimum one hour (Resolution 32-2015). For the fire final: 'If these items are not satisfied by the time of the fire inspection, the inspection will result in a failed inspection and re-inspection fees may be required.' No formal written-correction-notice turnaround (e.g., a stated number of business days to issue a deficiency letter, as some CA cities' AB 2188/Gov. Code 65850.5 ordinances specify) was found published by the Town for solar specifically — Tiburon has not codified its own expedited-solar ordinance of the AB 2188 type; its instant-issuance/no-plan-review model for SolarAPP+-eligible systems appears to rest on the national SolarAPP+ tool and state law directly rather than a local expedited-permit chapter. 60% · published requirements + fee schedule
