City of Lake City

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 — City of Lake City Growth Management Department (Building Safety Division) is the AHJ for residential rooftop solar PV inside city limits. 92% · dedicated solar permit application
• What does this authority permit itself, and what does it delegate? The City permits and inspects both Building and Electrical (including solar PV) itself, in-house, through Growth Management/Building Safety. Fire permitting/plan review (alarm, sprinkler, hood systems) is a separate City desk (Lake City Fire Department / Fire Marshal) billed off the same consolidated fee schedule, but no City document shows a residential PV-only job routing there. Zoning/historic-district review is a third City desk (Planning & Zoning acting as the Historic Preservation Agency for two National Historic Districts). Nothing is delegated to Columbia County for city-limits addresses; the County is a separate AHJ for unincorporated Columbia County only, evidenced by the County's own parcel-based 'Who will issue my permit?' lookup tool, which exists precisely because the two jurisdictions are geographically interleaved. 82% · department page + fee schedule + LDR
• Is a permit required for a residential rooftop PV system? Yes. The City's fee schedule carries a dedicated 'Residential Solar System' line ($189.00), and a full dedicated Solar Electric Permit Application/checklist/affidavit/inspection-process packet exists — there is no solar/PV exemption anywhere in the City's material. 93% · City fee schedule
• Is there a separate electrical permit, or is it combined? Solar has its own dedicated permit type and fee line ('Solar'), distinct from the generic 'Electrical' fee line and the generic Electrical Permit Application — though the checklist notes an Electrical Contractor pulls it 'as the Electrical permit for the Installation of the Photovoltaic system.' In practice it is a distinctly-named, distinctly-priced permit issued alongside/instead-of a plain electrical alteration permit, not folded into one generic building permit. 78% · City fee schedule + solar checklist
• Is there a historic-district review? Yes, but only inside the City's two designated National Historic Districts (or for individually-listed historic properties) — and even there, most residential solar installations qualify for staff-level (not full-board) approval. The LDR's Historic Sites and Structures Preservation Regulations (Article Ten) list, as 'Minor Work': 'Installation of skylights or solar panels which are flush mounted and inconspicuously located on non-primary façades.' Minor Work may be approved directly by the Land Development Administrator (issuing a Certificate of Appropriateness without a public hearing or 300-ft-radius notice); only if the Administrator finds the installation questionable, or it doesn't meet that flush/inconspicuous/non-primary-façade description, does it escalate to the Historic Preservation Agency (the City's Planning & Zoning Board sitting in that capacity) as Major Work. Outside the two National Historic Districts and individually-listed properties, none of this applies. 88% · City Land Development Regulations, Article Ten
• Is a wind or windstorm certification required? The City's own current Residential Checklist (published 10/2025) requires a full wind-load engineering package on every submittal — basic wind speed (3-second gust), wind exposure category, importance factor, internal pressure coefficient, and design wind pressure per FBC Ch. 3 / Fig. 1609.3(1)-(4) — sealed by a Florida-registered architect or engineer. The only City-published wind-speed MAP for Columbia County, however, is a 2011 document (dated 'September 5, 2011' in its own footer, sourced to 'Florida Building Code 2010') still linked from the current Permit Forms page: Ultimate Design Wind Speed, Risk Category II (ordinary residential): 115 mph north of the C.R. 240 centerline, 120 mph south of it. This map predates the current FBC 8th Edition (2023)/ASCE 7-22 cycle by three code cycles and should be treated as a likely-superseded figure rather than the authoritative current value — a genuine staleness finding, not a confirmed current one. The map was only readable via OCR (pdftoppm+tesseract): its embedded text layer is a non-standard font encoding that pdftotext returns as garbage, exactly the failure mode this brief warned about. 58% · City wind speed map (2011, OCR'd) + current residential checklist
• Is there a system-size cap on residential generation? No City-level cap was found. At the utility level, Clay Electric Cooperative's tariff caps an individual RGS at no more than 90% of the member's utility service-entrance rating or 90% of the Cooperative's transformer kVA capacity at that location (whichever is less), and at a gross power rating not exceeding 1,000 kW AC (per Fla. Stat. 377.803's RGS definition); systems of 20kW or larger require Clay's pre-approval. No aggregate/program-wide capacity cap (of the kind found elsewhere in this survey, e.g. a citywide MW ceiling) was found on Clay's site. This is a utility-level constraint, not a City ordinance. 58% · utility's own current tariff/website (not a City rule)

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? A licensed Electrical Contractor (pulls the Electrical permit for the PV installation) or a licensed Solar (PV) Contractor (may pull the Plumbing or Electrical permit for either a solar thermal or photovoltaic system). 88% · City solar checklist
• Must the contractor be registered with this authority before applying? Yes. Every contractor must submit a Contractors Registration Form to the City (state license number, license type, liability insurance certificate, and workers' compensation certificate or exemption — insurance made out to the City of Lake City) before pulling permits. 82% · City contractor registration form
• Is a homeowner permitted to self-install and self-permit? Yes, generally, under the state owner-builder exemption (FS 489.103/489.503) — the City's own Solar Electric Permit checklist explicitly accommodates it: 'If applying for the permit as an owner builder, a copy of the recorded warranty deed or property card... must be submitted, along with the Owner Builder Affidavit.' The City publishes its own Owner Builder Affidavit form. 68% · City solar checklist + owner-builder affidavit

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? Per the City's own current Solar (Thermal/Photovoltaic) Checklist: completed/notarized Solar Electric Permit Application; Property Record Card; Roof Plan (scale drawing of panel locations) plus a Residential Roof Warranty Notification to Owner; for PV — an electrical diagram (array configuration, wiring, overcurrent protection, inverter disconnect, grounding, AC connection), spec sheets/installation manuals for every manufactured component (modules, inverter(s), combiner box, disconnect, mounting system), attachment/flashing/frame-member construction details sealed by the appropriate design professional for wind zone/loading/site conditions, and electrical calculations (ampacity, conduit fill, ambient derating); for battery backup — a standby-load summary; a Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) System Approval Report OR signed-and-sealed engineered drawings; a recorded Notice of Commencement for work ≥$5,000; Owner-Builder Affidavit + deed/property-card if self-permitting; and a Debris Removal Affidavit. 92% · dedicated solar checklist
• How many copies, and in what format? Not stated for solar specifically. The generic Electrical Permit Checklist (which the solar packet cross-references for plans/documents format) calls for 'Provide 2 copies (ELECTRONIC COPIES PREFERRED)', and the general SFR/commercial requirements elsewhere on the site push toward electronic submittal via the New World ePermits portal. 58% · City generic electrical checklist
• Is a site plan required, and what must it show? Yes. The Solar Electric Permit packet includes its own Plot/Site Plan page requiring: north arrow/scale, subdivision/lot/block/parcel ID, zoning district and FLUM category, required setbacks (front/side/rear/other), flood zone, base flood elevation, community panel number and effective date. 85% · City solar permit packet (site plan page)
• Is a one-line / three-line diagram required? Yes. An electrical diagram showing PV array configuration, wiring system, overcurrent protection, inverter disconnect, grounding, and the AC connection to the building is required. 92% · City solar checklist
• Are string and conductor calculations required? Yes. 'Electrical calculations showing that all wire sizing has been determined with proper ampacity, conduit fill and ambient derating factors' are explicitly required. 90% · City solar checklist
• Is a structural PE stamp required, and at what threshold? A structural design professional's seal is required on the attachment/flashing/frame-member details for wind zone, additional loading, and site conditions — OR, as an alternative for the whole system, a Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) System Approval Report may be submitted instead of signed-and-sealed engineered drawings. The City states no numeric dollar or size threshold; the requirement reads as applying to every roof-mounted or ground-mounted PV installation regardless of size. 78% · City solar checklist
• Is an electrical PE stamp required, and at what threshold? The City's generic Electrical Permit Checklist states sealed engineering is required for new 'Residential Electric over 240 Volts/600 Amps' (Commercial over 240V/800A) — which lines up with the statewide PE-stamp exemption at FS 471.003(2)(h) (no PE stamp needed for licensed-EC residential work ≤$125,000 value and ≤600A/240V aggregate service). Below that threshold, no electrical PE stamp is required. 80% · City generic electrical checklist + FL Statute

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? New World ePermits (Tyler Technologies' 'New World'/eSuite platform), branded by the City as 'e-Permitting,' effective January 15, 2024, alongside a companion 'e-Licensing' (business tax receipt) system on the same eSuite platform. 82% · City internal e-permitting notice (docx)
• Can the whole application be completed online? Yes. The City states registered contractors can use the portal to apply for permits, check permit issuance progress, schedule inspections, obtain inspection results, and pay online by credit card. 82% · City internal e-permitting notice (docx)
• What does a residential solar permit cost? $189.00 flat, plus the statewide 2.5% permit surcharge (1.5% DBPR + 1% BCAIB per FS 553) applied to all permits. 92% · City fee schedule
• How is the fee calculated? Flat fee, not valuation-based. Unlike most residential categories in the same schedule (which offer a 'stated valuation × multiplier' alternative), the Residential Solar System line has no multiplier option — it is a single flat $189 regardless of system size/value. (Commercial Solar, by contrast, IS valuation-based: $279 minimum or valuation × .008.) 80% · City fee schedule
• Is there a separate plan-check fee? No separate plan-check/plan-review fee for a residential solar permit. The fee schedule states up front: 'All fees include plan review unless otherwise stated,' and the Solar line is not listed among the 'otherwise stated' exceptions (those are Commercial Pre-Application Plan Review and the Fire-specific plan review lines). 78% · City 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.

• How long is an issued permit valid before it expires? 6 months from issuance to commence actual construction, or the permit lapses if work is suspended/abandoned for 6 months after starting; one or more 90-day written extensions may be granted by the Land Development Regulation Administrator. 85% · City Land Development Regulations
• Which utility handles interconnection here? Clay Electric Cooperative, Inc. — not confirmed by a single direct City statement, but corroborated two independent ways: (1) the City's own adopted FY2026 budget lists 'Clay Electric' by name as a recurring line-item vendor the City itself pays for electricity at multiple Public Works/Utilities facilities (five separate line items across water/wastewater cost centers, $6,500–$92,000 each); and (2) Clay Electric's own website lists a staffed District Office physically located in Lake City ('Lake City, 1797 SW SR 47, Lake City, FL 32025-2935'). No City document names Duke Energy, FPU, or any other utility anywhere I searched (budget text-searched for 'Duke', 'Florida Public Utilities', and 'Suwannee Valley' — zero hits on all three). This is NOT from PowerToChoose. Given this survey's repeated finding that a utility can vary by parcel inside one authority, I could not rule out a second utility serving part of the city (Lake City's own Electrical Permit Application carries no utility checkbox to cross-check against, unlike several other Florida authorities' forms). 65% · City adopted budget (vendor line items) + utility's own site
• Where does the utility sit in the sequence? After permit AND after the City's own final inspection/certification — the utility will not put an RGS into service ahead of that. Two independent first-party documents agree on this substance: the City's own Solar Photovoltaic Inspection Process states the City inspector, on passing final inspection, 'shall have the proper Electrical Utility Company notified by e-mail that the installation was inspected and approved. This notification will clear the electrical utility company to set the proper meter.' Clay Electric's own current tariff (Form IGRG-1 ¶1) independently places a mirror-image duty on the Member: provide Clay 'written certification that the RGS installation has been inspected by the local code official who has certified that the installation was permitted and has been approved... prior to the operation of the RGS.' Clay also requires 10 days' advance notice of the RGS in-service date (¶4). 85% · City inspection-process document + utility's own current tariff

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. 96% · City solar permit application (masthead)
• Which building code edition is in force? Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023). 96% · City solar permit application (masthead)
• Which fire code edition is in force? Florida Fire Prevention Code, 8th Edition (2023) — inferred from this survey's own established statewide baseline (independently confirmed in dozens of other Florida authority files this cycle), NOT independently confirmed from a Lake City-specific document or a freshly-fetched state source this run: no page or form published by the Lake City Fire Department states an edition year, and the search budget for this run was exhausted before a State Fire Marshal source could be fetched to confirm it directly. 50% · inference from statewide baseline (not independently verified this run)
• Are there local amendments to any of the above? Not established either way from a primary local-amendment source. The City's own solar/electrical/residential forms all state the FBC 8th Ed. (2023) / NEC 2020 adoption as plain, unqualified editions with no amendment language attached, which is consistent with (but does not prove) a clean/floating adoption. The Code of Ordinances — where local technical amendments would actually be codified — sits on library.municode.com, which is disallowed to ClaudeBot (robots.txt Disallow plus a Content-Signal: ai-train=no header), and the elaws.us mirror (fllocal.elaws.us) rate-limited/blocked every attempt this run. 45% · could-not-reach (Municode + elaws.us both blocked this run)
• What is the installation judged against? Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023) for building/structural, and the 2020 NEC for electrical/PV. 96% · City solar permit application (masthead)

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.

Nothing recorded for City of Lake City on this step yet — 1 question checked and found unpublished. The guidance above is general.

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? Rapid shutdown applies as a matter of the adopted 2020 NEC (§690.12), which the City has adopted wholesale for all electrical work including PV — but no City document (the Solar Electric Permit Application, its checklist, its affidavit, or its multi-page Inspection Process document) ever uses the phrase 'rapid shutdown' or cites §690.12 by name. This is an inference from the adopted code edition, not an explicit City statement. 55% · inference from adopted NEC 2020 (no explicit City text found)

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.

• Does the UTILITY specify placards beyond the AHJ's? Yes. Clay Electric Cooperative's own current tariff (Form IGRG-1 ¶12(a)) requires a battery-storage label the City does not itself require: 'A label must be permanently affixed to the meter enclosure stating, "Battery storage utilized in this facility."' This mirrors language this survey has already found in FPL's and other Florida utilities' battery-only placards. No general (non-battery) PV placard spec was found on Clay's site beyond the disconnect-switch physical requirements (q48). 78% · utility's own current filed tariff
• Where must the labels be placed? Only the battery-storage label's location is specified, by the utility, not the City: 'permanently affixed to the meter enclosure.' The utility's manual AC disconnect switch must be 'mounted separately from the meter socket' and 'readily accessible at all times to the Cooperative' — a location rule for the switch itself, distinct from a sign/label placement rule. No City rule on label placement was found. 72% · utility's own current filed tariff

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? Per the electric utility's (Clay Electric's) own current tariff: a manual, single-throw, lockable disconnect switch, mounted SEPARATELY from the meter socket (not integrated into it), 'readily accessible at all times to the Cooperative,' and capable of being padlocked open by the Cooperative — installed and maintained at the member's expense, with no size/kW exemption stated. No specific distance figure (e.g. a 'within 10 feet' rule) is given; Clay Electric's own consumer-facing page separately describes it as 'preferably next to the utility meter,' which is looser than the tariff's binding 'mounted separately' language. The City itself publishes no AC-disconnect location rule of its own. 75% · utility's own current filed tariff
• Must equipment be on a specific approved list? No PV-specific 'approved equipment list' exists. The City's general Product Approval Specification Sheet (per FS 553.842 / FAC 61G20-3) covers Florida Product Approval / Miami-Dade NOA numbers for windows, doors, wall panels, roofing and structural components — it has no PV-module/inverter/racking category of its own. Separately, the City's own solar checklist and inspection-process document require that 'all solar photovoltaic components, electrical connections, and materials installed are listed' (i.e., NRTL/UL-listed) and match the approved submittals, verified by the inspector opening all boxes/cabinets at final. 65% · City product-approval form + inspection-process document
• Are batteries permitted, and under what conditions? Yes, permitted, as part of the same PV permit. The City's Solar Checklist requires, for 'battery backup systems,' a summary of all standby loads (power ratings and estimated daily energy consumption per load) to demonstrate the inverter/battery selection meets the standby need; the Inspection Process document folds batteries into the same final inspection ('inverters, charge controllers, batteries, disconnects, and all properly labeled equipment'). At the utility level, Clay Electric's tariff separately requires UL 1741 NRTL certification, the 'Battery storage utilized in this facility' meter-enclosure label, a prohibition on exporting battery power to the grid (battery-only systems may only charge from the grid, per PSC Rule 25-6.065(2)(d) as cited in Clay's own tariff, and interconnecting a battery-only system is prohibited), and a UL-listed automatic transfer switch. 85% · City solar checklist/inspection process + utility tariff
• Is there a separate ESS permit or inspection? No separate ESS-specific permit or inspection type is published. Batteries are inspected as part of the single PV permit's final inspection (see q45); the City's fee schedule has no distinct 'battery'/'ESS' permit line, and no separate ESS permit application form was found among the City's Permit Forms. 75% · City permit forms list (no dedicated ESS permit found)
• Is a ground mount treated as a structure? Yes, explicitly, and in detail. The City's own Solar Photovoltaic System Inspection Process document requires: a structural-framing inspection of the posts/mounting frame BEFORE the arrays are installed; a footing inspection prior to pouring concrete footers (or a completed/signed Solar Photovoltaic Affidavit in lieu of a footing inspection); an underground-wiring inspection to verify conduit depth (per NEC Article 300) before backfilling the trench; and, at final, verification that 'a minimum of a four (4) foot high fence enclosing the array(s)' has been installed, in addition to any yard fence. 92% · City solar inspection-process document
• Is a specific mounting system or attachment spacing required? No specific numeric mounting/attachment-spacing spec (e.g., an on-center inches figure) is published by the City. Instead, the City requires the applicant to SUBMIT engineering for it: 'attachment details, flashing details, construction design for the unit and any support frame members (sealed by the appropriate design professional) for the Wind Zone, additional loading, and any site conditions' — i.e., a project-specific engineered submittal is required in lieu of a prescriptive City standard. 68% · City solar checklist

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? By phone, via the Building Inspection Hotline ((386) 719-5748), or online through the New World ePermits portal, whose published capabilities include 'schedule inspections' and 'obtaining inspection results.' 78% · department contact page + City e-permitting notice

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. The City's own Building Inspector (Jeremy Giddings, per the Growth Management staff directory) performs the Solar Photovoltaic Electrical Final inspection in person, per the City's own multi-page Inspection Process document, which describes the inspector opening electrical panels/boxes and requiring an installer's technician on-site. This is corroborated by the FY2024-25 FS 553.80(7)(b) Building Permit and Inspection Utilization Report: of 1,471 total inspections conducted that fiscal year, only 6 were conducted by a private provider (FS 553.791) and 0 were audited — the department is genuinely in-house. 90% · FS 553.80(7)(b) utilization report + staff directory + inspection-process document
• If delegated, to whom? N/A — not delegated. The City's own Building Inspector performs the final PV inspection in-house; an owner may separately elect to use a licensed private provider under FS 553.791 (6 of 1,471 inspections used one in FY2024-25), but that is the owner's choice, not a City delegation, and the City conducted 0 audits of those private-provider inspections that year. 82% · FS 553.80(7)(b) utilization report

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 a standard ROOF-MOUNTED system: essentially one detailed Solar Photovoltaic Electrical FINAL inspection (technician required on-site; mounting brackets, inverters, charge controllers, batteries, disconnects, and all labeling checked; existing electrical panel opened). For a GROUND-MOUNTED system, in order: (1) a structural-framing/posts inspection before the arrays go up, (2) a footing inspection before pouring concrete (or a signed affidavit in lieu), (3) an underground-wiring/conduit-depth inspection before backfilling, then (4) the same detailed Final as the roof-mount case, PLUS verification of the required 4-ft enclosure fence. For REMOVAL/REINSTALL during a re-roof or roof-over, a separate permit (by a licensed EC or Solar PV Contractor) is required before the roofing permit is issued, with its own final inspection of the disconnect/reinstall. 88% · City solar inspection-process document
• Is a rough-in or mid-roof inspection required? Yes, but only for ground-mounted systems (a structural-framing/posts inspection and a footing inspection, both before the roof/ground arrays go up or concrete is poured) and for any underground wiring run (a conduit-depth check before backfilling). For a standard roof-mounted system, the City's own process describes only the one detailed Final inspection — no separate rough-in/mid-roof step is described. 82% · City solar inspection-process document

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 — the City's multi-page 'SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM INSPECTION PROCESS' document functions as a detailed, published, narrative inspection checklist covering roof-mount, ground-mount, and re-roof/reinstall scenarios, distinct from (and more detailed than) a simple pass/fail form. 82% · City solar inspection-process document
• What must be on site at inspection? A completed, NOTARIZED Solar Photovoltaic Installation Affidavit must be posted at the project site for the Final Inspection (the affidavit itself states it 'does not take the place of a qualified technician' being present); a technician from the installing contractor must be present in person; and, implicitly, the approved plans/submittals against which the inspector matches installed components and listings. 88% · City solar affidavit + inspection-process document
• Does the inspector verify labels and listings? Yes, explicitly and in detail. 'The inspector shall have the technician open all boxes and cabinets, including the existing electrical panel, to verify connections and that all solar photovoltaic components, electrical connections, and materials installed are listed and match the approved submittals, and that the wiring and grounding methods comply with the NEC.' 95% · City solar inspection-process document

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.

• Who notifies the utility for PTO? Both sides, from two independent first-party documents that agree in substance: the CITY's own inspector notifies the utility by e-mail once the final inspection passes ('The inspector shall have the proper Electrical Utility Company notified by e-mail that the installation was inspected and approved. This notification will clear the electrical utility company to set the proper meter' — stated identically for roof-mount, ground-mount, and reinstall scenarios); AND the UTILITY's own tariff (Clay Electric Form IGRG-1 ¶1) places the delivery duty on the Member: provide Clay written certification that the local code official has inspected, permitted, and approved the installation, before the RGS may operate. In practice the City's inspector generates the notification and the Member/installer is contractually responsible for it reaching Clay. 88% · City inspection-process document + utility's own current tariff
• Is there a re-inspection fee? $75.00 (Residential Re-Inspection), general fee applying to all trades including solar; there is also a $125/hour (2-hour minimum) 'Residential After-Hours' inspection fee. 85% · City fee schedule
