Yolo County

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% · department page + adopting ordinance
• What does this authority permit itself, and what does it delegate? Both 90% · department page + ordinance
• Is a permit required for a residential rooftop PV system? Yes 95% · ordinance
• Is there a separate electrical permit, or is it combined? Combined 70% · permit application form + fee schedule
• Is a HOA or architectural approval required first? No 70% · ordinance
• Is there a historic-district review? Yes, but narrowly - only on a designated Historic Landmark or a structure inside a designated Historic District, and even then rooftop solar does NOT go to the Historic Preservation Commission by default. YCC 8-11.105(b) lists 'solar collectors on roof' among the items that 'do not require review by the Historic Preservation Commission. Approval by the Planning, Public Works and Environmental Services Department will be issued upon approval of a building permit' - with a discretionary escape: 'The Department may refer applications to the Historic Preservation Commission as deemed reasonably necessary in the discretion of the Department Director.' If referred, the Commission (which is the Planning Commission wearing a second hat, per 8-11.103(a)) must decide within 90 days of filing, and no building permit may issue until it files a letter of approval. YCC 8-2.1104(d)(7) adds that solar on a designated Landmark or in a designated District 'may be permitted provided that the design of the facilities is consistent with the purposes of the Landmark or District designation'. On any property that is not designated, there is no historic review at all. 85% · ordinance
• Is a wind or windstorm certification required? No 85% · department page
• Is a Specific Use Permit or Council approval ever required? Only in one narrow, statutorily-framed case for residential rooftop. YCC 8-2.1104(d)(4): small accessory-use roof- and ground-mounted systems are approved in all zones by Building Permit plus Zoning Clearance, but 'consistent with Section 65850.5 of the California Government Code, if the Chief Building Official has a good faith belief that the solar energy system could have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health and safety, the Official may require the applicant to apply for a Use Permit. Such a Use Permit shall be considered by the Zoning Administrator according to the requirements of Section 65850.5.' 'Specific, Adverse Impact' is defined in 8-2.1104(b) as a significant, quantifiable, direct and unavoidable impact based on objective, identified, written public health or safety standards as they existed when the application was deemed complete. No Board or Planning Commission approval is ever required for residential rooftop. Larger systems escalate: accessory systems of 2.5-7.5 acres need Site Plan Review, medium-sized (7.5-30 acres) Site Plan Review or a Minor Use Permit, large-scale (over 30 acres) a Major Use Permit from the Planning Commission, and over 120 acres goes to the Board of Supervisors. 85% · ordinance
• Is there a system-size cap on residential generation? No cap on residential rooftop generation. Table 8-2.1104 makes 'Small accessory use roof-mounted solar energy system (up to 10kW)' an Allowed use (A, zoning clearance only) in every zone including the residential RR-5, RR-2, R-L, R-M and R-H zones, and an 'Accessory solar energy system' (over 10 kW, under 2.5 acres) is ALSO an Allowed use in those same residential zones - so exceeding 10 kW changes the definition, not the permit path. The 10 kW AC / 30 kW thermal figure is a definitional boundary, not a limit. Real ceilings only bite on area: an accessory solar energy system 'shall occupy no more than seven and one-half (7.5) acres of land or twenty percent (20%) of the area of the parcel, whichever is smaller' (8-2.1104(g)(8)), 2.5-7.5 acres needs Site Plan Review, and anything exporting over 1 MW to the grid becomes a 'utility solar energy system'. 85% · ordinance

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 85% · permit application form
• Must the contractor be registered with this authority before applying? No 70% · department page
• Is a homeowner permitted to self-install and self-permit? Yes 85% · permit 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? Application for Building Permit (8-page form, Rev Oct 23) plus a 'Rapid Review' plan set. For Solar Photovoltaic the application states the submittal must meet the requirement of one of the following: the SolarAPP+ Checklist, the California Solar Permitting Guidebook 4th Edition, or industry standard plans and specifications. A site plan and a location map are required by the Plans page. Manufacturer's installation instructions must be on site at inspection. Outside-agency forms are collected as applicable: Fire District Fee Form, Service District Form, School District Fee Form, FSA fee form, C&D recycling form, Land Use Review Survey (Environmental Health), Air District form. 80% · permit application form
• How many copies, and in what format? Rapid Review (which is what solar PV is): 11x17 plan sheets designed to be legible at that format, typically a single sheet or a small number of sheets. Full-size plans may be submitted but must then meet the Full Review formatting rules. For contrast, Full Review requires BOTH one paper set at 22x34 or larger, securely bound, AND PDFs on a USB-A flash drive, submitted in person or mailed to Building Plan Review, 292 W Beamer St, Woodland CA 95695. 80% · permit application form
• Is a site plan required, and what must it show? Yes, a site plan is required, and separately a location map. The Plans page exempts only 'minor work to existing structures, such as replacement of Electrical Service, Water Heater, HVAC, Sewer Lines, or Reroof' - solar PV is not on that list. A location map is required for all permits unless the work is on the only existing structure on a parcel under two acres, and must let the inspector drive safely to the site. Content requirements have to be taken from the Plan Review Guidelines PDF (minimum scale 1 inch = 20 feet, show the entire parcel, all recorded easements, distances to all property lines or nearest edge of road easements, all existing and proposed structures to scale including garage, well, shed, pool, HVAC equipment, septic system location, existing and proposed contours, storm run-off control) and from YCC 7-1.04(b) C105.1(2), which lists property lines, wells, septic systems, easements, power and telephone equipment, fuel storage tanks, drainage, private drives, access to public roads and features contributing to fire risk. 65% · department page + handout
• Is a one-line / three-line diagram required? Yes 65% · permit application form
• Are string and conductor calculations required? Yes 55% · permit application form
• Is a structural PE stamp required, and at what threshold? No county-published threshold. The application defers to a document called 'Building Design Authority' ('Designer - See Building Design Authority'; plan sheets 'required to be designed by a registered design professional must be signed by the registered design professional (See Building Design Authority)'), and that document is not published anywhere on the county site. In practice a conforming SolarAPP+ / California Solar Permitting Guidebook 4th Ed. submittal that meets the Guidebook structural criteria avoids engineering; anything outside it will be judged against the local design criteria the county does publish: Seismic Design Category D2 under the Residential Code and D under the Building Code, Wind Exposure C unless the CBO accepts an engineer's determination of Exposure B, wind speed 93 mph for Risk Category II (88 / 100 / 104 mph for Risk Categories I / III / IV), soil bearing 1500 psf, snow load 0 psf, rainfall 2 in/hr, Energy Climate Zone 12. 55% · department page + permit application form
• Is an electrical PE stamp required, and at what threshold? Not required, and no threshold is published. Nothing in YCC Title 7 Chapter 1, in YCC 8-2.1104 or in the Application for Building Permit requires an electrical PE stamp for a residential rooftop PV system. 60% · ordinance

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? Yolo Builds (Salesforce Experience Cloud / Clariti) at https://yolo.my.site.com - but it does NOT take building permits. Its login page states: 'Kindly note, Building Division permits and Planning Division applications won't be available on the online portal until further notice. Please reach out to building.division@yolocounty.gov for any questions on existing applications or submitting a new application.' It currently handles Public Works permits, licences and business-licence renewals only. Building permit applications go in by mail or in person at 292 W Beamer St, Woodland; inspections are booked through a separate web form on the department's Inspections page, or by phone or email. 85% · portal landing page
• Can the whole application be completed online? No 90% · portal landing page + permit application form
• What does a residential solar permit cost? $360.03 for a residential roof-mounted PV system up to 15 kW - $145.70 plan review plus $214.33 inspection - and above 15 kW add $5.46/kW (plan review) plus $5.81/kW (inspection) = $11.27 per kW. Add the county's 10% Technology Recovery Fee (Ordinance 1381) and the small state pass-throughs (California Building Standards Fee $4 based on valuation; State Seismic Fee 0.00013 x valuation, $0.50 minimum), giving roughly $396-$400 all-in for a typical system. Ground-mounted residential is the same tier table: $168.37 plan review + $490.81 inspection = $659.18 up to 15 kW, plus $16.17/kW above 15 kW, and Environmental Health separately charges $406.00 for a 'Minor Building Permit (Ground Mount Solar, Propane Tanks, Generators)'. 75% · adopted fee resolution exhibit + Board minutes

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.

• How long is an issued permit valid before it expires? 12 months to commence work, then void; and void if work is suspended or abandoned for 180 days after commencement. The CBO may grant one or more written extensions of not more than 180 days each, on written request with justifiable cause and an extension request review fee. Re-instating an expired permit costs one-half the fee for a new permit (provided plans are unchanged and the lapse has not exceeded one year). 90% · ordinance

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? 2023 85% · adopting ordinance
• Which building code edition is in force? 2025 California Building Code and 2025 California Residential Code (Title 24 Parts 2 and 2.5), effective 1 January 2026, by operation of state law. The county's own adopting ordinance is two cycles behind: YCC 7-1.02(a) and (b) adopt the '2019 California Building Code, Volumes 1 and 2' and the '2019 California Residential Code' (Ord. 1521, eff. 18 June 2020), and the department's Permits page cites the 2022 editions. 85% · adopting ordinance
• Which fire code edition is in force? 2025 California Fire Code (Title 24 Part 9), effective 1 January 2026, by state law. YCC 7-1.02(h) adopts the '2019 California Fire Code' with appendices B, C, D, E, F, G and H; YCC 7-1.11 amends it. The Permits page cites CFC 2022 sections 105.5 and 105.6 for operational and construction permits. 85% · adopting ordinance
• Are there local amendments to any of the above? Yes 90% · adopting ordinance
• What is the installation judged against? The 2025 California Electrical Code (2023 NEC), Article 690 adopted with zero California amendment and zero Yolo amendment, plus YCC 8-2.1104(d)(3): 'Solar energy systems for producing electricity shall meet all applicable safety and performance standards established by the California Electrical Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and accredited testing laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories and, where applicable, rules of the Public Utilities Commission regarding safety and reliability.' Administratively, YCC 7-1.06 folds the CBC Chapter 1 Division II provisions of YCC 7-1.03 into the Electrical Code. 85% · ordinance

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? State requirements only, unamended: 2025 CFC Section 1205 and 2025 CRC R329 roof access, pathways and setbacks (ridge setback, pathways to and around the array, smoke-ventilation access). Yolo County has adopted no local amendment on fire pathways or setbacks. Note the ordinance names the 2019 CFC, in which the equivalent section is 1204, and the department's Permits page still cross-links CFC 2022; the live section number is 1205. Practical wrinkle for this county: whether the fire review is done by the county or by a fire district depends on the address - Davis, East Davis, Springlake, West Sacramento, Winters and Woodland fire districts administer their own fire permits, and YCC 7-1.11(b)(1) additionally lets any district contract with the county for fire and panic safety plan review and inspection under the CBO. 75% · adopting ordinance + department page

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 - rapid shutdown per NEC 690.12 of the 2023 NEC, as adopted in the 2025 California Electrical Code effective 1 January 2026, including the module-level (1 ft / 80 V) inside-array boundary requirements. California adopts Article 690 with no amendment and Yolo adds none. 85% · adopting ordinance

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? Yolo County specifies no placards of its own. What applies at the service equipment is (a) the unamended 2023 NEC set - 690.13(B) PV system disconnect marking, 690.54 interactive point-of-interconnection rating, 690.56(C) rapid shutdown label, 705.10 directory of all power sources at each service equipment location, 705.12(B)(3)(2) busbar/backfeed label where applicable, and 690.31(D) circuit marking - and (b) PG&E's own requirements, which are the ones with a written specification: a permanently attached, engraved phenolic or ANSI Z535.4 label on the front of the AC disconnect reading e.g. 'UTILITY AC DISCONNECT SWITCH', and, for a supply-side (line-side) interconnection ahead of the main breaker, 'an engraved placard (signage), indicating there is a line/supply side connection, installed on the metering equipment'. 70% · utility design standard + NEC edition in force
• Does the authority specify placard wording of its own? No 85% · ordinance
• Does it specify letter height, colour or material? Not by the county - Yolo specifies no letter height, colour or material. PG&E does, and its spec is the one to build to: labels 'shall be permanent and suitable for the environment and shall be engraved phenolic or comply with ANSI Z535.4. Lettering shall be a minimum 3/8" high and in all capitals.' The AC disconnect must carry 'permanently attached signage on the front that explains this is the ac disconnect switch for the generation. Example: "UTILITY AC DISCONNECT SWITCH"', plus marking or signage on the switch clearly indicating the open (off) and closed (on) positions. 85% · utility design standard
• Is a site plan / facility map placard required, and what must it show? Yes, but the requirement comes from the NEC and from PG&E, not from Yolo County. NEC 705.10 requires a permanent plaque or directory at each service equipment location denoting the location of all electric power source disconnecting means. PG&E 060559 adds two map obligations: 'When the disconnect switch is not grouped with the meter panel provide a map showing the location', and 'If a Net Generation Output Meter (NGOM) is installed provide proper labeling as described and a map showing the location if not grouped together with the other meter(s) and disconnect switch.' Yolo County specifies no facility-map placard of its own. 75% · utility design standard + NEC
• Does the UTILITY specify placards beyond the AHJ's? Yes. PG&E imposes two things beyond the NEC and beyond anything Yolo County requires. (1) For a supply-side / line-side interconnection ahead of the main breaker: 'A fusible AC disconnect switch is required for generator interconnections ahead of the main breaker (line/supply side connection) and after the meter. Also required is an engraved placard (signage), indicating there is a line/supply side connection, installed on the metering equipment.' (2) On the AC disconnect itself: permanently attached front signage identifying it as the generation AC disconnect ('UTILITY AC DISCONNECT SWITCH'), open/closed position marking, engraved phenolic or ANSI Z535.4, minimum 3/8 inch all-capital lettering, plus a location map where the disconnect or NGOM is not grouped with the meter. 85% · utility DG manual
• Where must the labels be placed? NEC-driven labels go at the service equipment / point of interconnection: the 705.10 power-source directory at each service equipment location, the 690.13(B) PV system disconnect marking at the disconnect, the 690.56(C) rapid shutdown label at the service equipment, and the 690.54 interactive-system rating at the point of interconnection. PG&E-driven labels go on the front of the AC disconnect enclosure, and - for a supply-side connection - an engraved placard on the metering equipment. The PG&E AC disconnect itself must be located 10 feet or less from and in line of sight of the PG&E meter, at the same grade level if outdoors, easily accessible to PG&E, and expressly not on any floor or level above grade, not on a roof, and not inside a room that is not an approved electric meter room. 80% · utility design standard + NEC

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? For a typical residential job, PG&E does NOT require one. Greenbook TD-7001M-06 Table 6-3 'Requirements for AC Disconnect Switches': inverter-based generators on a self-contained, socket-based meter panel of 320 amps or less continuous rating, single-phase - AC disconnect required: No. All other self-contained or transformer-rated meter panels, and all non-inverter-based generators - Yes. Footnote 1: an AC disconnect IS required for all K-base meter panels of any ampacity. Footnote 2: if one is installed anyway, it must be PG&E approved. Where a disconnect IS required, PG&E 060559 fixes the location: installed between the PG&E meter and all generation sources, isolating generation only and not customer loads; 10 feet or less from and in line of sight of the PG&E meter at the point of common coupling, easily seen from the meter panel; at the same grade level as the meter if outdoors; easily accessible to PG&E on request; lockable in the open position with a PG&E padlock (5/16-inch shaft, keyed locks not allowed); manually operated, gang-operated, with visible air-gap verification. Expressly NOT allowed on any floor or level above grade, on a roof, or inside a room that is not an approved electric meter room. Molded-case circuit breakers and pull-out disconnects are not acceptable. A FUSIBLE disconnect is required for a supply-side (line-side) connection ahead of the main breaker, together with the engraved line-side placard on the metering equipment. 85% · utility DG manual
• Must equipment be on a specific approved list? Yes - but by reference to national listing bodies and the CPUC, not to a county list. YCC 8-2.1104(d)(3): electricity-producing solar energy systems 'shall meet all applicable safety and performance standards established by the California Electrical Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and accredited testing laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories and, where applicable, rules of the Public Utilities Commission regarding safety and reliability.' 8-2.1104(d)(2) additionally requires solar water-heating systems (domestic, commercial or pool) to be certified by an accredited listing agency as defined by the California Plumbing and Mechanical Code. Inverters must also be on the CPUC/CEC Rule 21 approved equipment list to interconnect with PG&E. Yolo County itself maintains no approved-equipment list. 80% · ordinance
• Are batteries permitted, and under what conditions? Yes, permitted, under state code with no local amendment. The governing provisions are 2025 CRC R330 (renumbered from R328) and 2025 CFC Chapter 12 / Section 1207 for residential energy storage - installation limits per unit and per location, listing to UL 9540 with UL 9540A test data where required, permitted locations (attached/detached garage, utility closet, storage/utility space, outdoors on an exterior wall, not in habitable spaces or sleeping rooms), separation distances, and smoke alarm/protection requirements. Yolo County has adopted no local ESS ordinance, no local amendment, and publishes no ESS handout. Note that YCC 8-2.1104(b) defines a 'solar energy system' to include storage ('used to provide for generation and/or storage of electricity from sunlight'), so an ESS paired with PV rides on the same zoning treatment and the same Building Permit plus Zoning Clearance path. 70% · adopting ordinance + fire code in force
• Is there a separate ESS permit or inspection? No 55% · fee schedule + department form
• Is a ground mount treated as a structure? Yes 80% · ordinance + fee schedule
• Is there a local rule on service upgrades or busbar sizing? No local rule. Service upgrades, busbar sizing and the 120% rule are governed by unamended NEC 705.12 / 2025 CEC. What the county does have is a fee: as of the 23 June 2026 adoption, 'Service Panel 400 amps or less' is $535.52 per permit and 'Service Panel 401 amps or more' is $799.08 per permit (replacing the old $290 / $434 / $434 tiers of 'Install, Alter, Add Services 0-325, 325-1,000 and over 1,001 amps'; the over-1,001-amp line was deleted). So a main-panel upgrade taken with a solar job is a separate, and now substantially more expensive, permit line. 75% · adopted fee resolution exhibit
• Is a specific mounting system or attachment spacing required? No specific mounting system or attachment spacing is required. The county names no approved racking, no rafter-attachment spacing and no standoff detail. Two things do constrain the design: the published local design criteria (Seismic Design Category D2 residential / D building, Wind Exposure C, 93 mph Risk Category II, soil bearing 1500 psf, snow load 0 psf), and the requirement that the manufacturer's installation instructions be on site and available to the inspector, with any deviation from approved plans requiring the inspector's approval and possibly a plan revision. 80% · department page + ordinance

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? Email 85% · department page
• How much notice is required? 1 business day - requests must be submitted by 2:00 pm the day before. 'For requests submitted by 2:00 p.m. the next available date is typically the next business day. We will respond to confirm your date as quickly as we can. A few times per year the next available is 2-3 business days out due to high demand, so we encourage you to schedule early whenever possible.' A 'future date' request may be submitted while work is still in progress, and should be 2 or more days ahead. Requests falling on a county holiday are scheduled for the following business day; Yolo Builds observes New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve to New Year's Day. 90% · department page
• Are same-day or AM/PM windows offered? No AM/PM windows and no same-day service are offered or published. The request form's only timing choices are 'Next available' or 'Future date' plus a requested date; there is no time-window field. A 'next available' request 'requires the work to be ready for inspection at the time of the request', and the 2:00 pm previous-day cutoff rules out same-day booking. The county confirms the date back to the requester rather than offering a slot. 75% · 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? Yes 90% · department page + ordinance
• If delegated, to whom? Not applicable for solar - nothing is delegated. The only delegation in Yolo's system is on the FIRE side and does not touch a residential rooftop PV permit: the Davis, East Davis, Springlake, West Sacramento, Winters and Woodland fire districts administer their own fire permits, and YCC 7-1.11(b)(1) lets any local fire protection district enter an agreement with the county to do fire and panic safety plan review and inspection under the authority of the Chief Building Official. 80% · department page + ordinance

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? One consolidated inspection for an eligible small residential rooftop PV system. Gov. Code 65850.5 (AB 2188) entitles an eligible small residential rooftop solar system to a single inspection, and the county's whole approach reinforces it: 'It is acceptable and expected to combine inspections whenever possible.' On the request form the installer selects the general category - the relevant ones are 'Electrical' and '** Permit Final **' - and the form instructs: 'If this inspection will close out the permit, select ** Permit Final ** AND the specific inspection category.' So a solar final is booked as Permit Final plus Electrical in one request. The full category list is: ** Permit Final **, Building, Demolition, Electrical, Grading, Manufactured Home or Commercial Coach, Mechanical, Plumbing, Pool/Spa. 70% · department page + state statute

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? No 80% · department page
• What must be on site at inspection? The approved permit; the inspection card; the approved plans including any approved revisions; specifications; and the manufacturer's installation instructions. All of the work to be inspected must be complete before calling for inspection, and must remain accessible and exposed for inspection until approved. If the inspector arrives and the work is not ready, a re-inspection fee is charged. 90% · department page

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 75% · department page
• Who notifies the utility for PTO? Installer 80% · utility DG page
• Is there a re-inspection fee? $135.97 per inspection trip 75% · adopted fee resolution exhibit + ordinance
• How are corrections issued and cleared? Corrections are issued by the inspector on site against the approved plans and recorded on the inspection card; work must not proceed past the current inspection until it is approved ('No. Do not work past the current inspection until the inspection is approved.'). Any deviation from the approved plans must be approved by the inspector, and the inspector may require a plan revision to be submitted before approval. To clear corrections the applicant calls and schedules a re-inspection and, where a re-inspection fee has been assessed, pays it - no additional inspection is performed until the fee is paid. Cancel or modify a booking through the same request form ('Cancel or modify an inspection request') as soon as possible if you will not be ready. Determinations by the CBO can be appealed in writing within 30 days to the Planning Commission sitting as the board of appeals (YCC 7-1.04(a)(10)), and onward to the Board of Supervisors within 15 days. 75% · department page + ordinance
