City of Laurel Hill

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? No. Okaloosa County Growth Management is the AHJ for residential solar at a Laurel Hill address; the City is not. 92% · county permit guide (interlocal)
• What does this authority permit itself, and what does it delegate? Delegated. Building and electrical permitting, plan review and inspection are all done by Okaloosa County. The City keeps only a pre-permit approval letter for building permits (not for stand-alone sub-permits), foundation-survey sign-off, water taps and home occupations. 90% · county permit guide (interlocal)
• Is a permit required for a residential rooftop PV system? Yes - a permit is required, issued by Okaloosa County. 85% · adopting ordinance / administrative code
• Is there a separate electrical permit, or is it combined? Separate. Okaloosa prices the electrical work as its own sub-permit: 'A base fee of $70.00 shall be required for all building permits and each sub-permit', and publishes a stand-alone Residential Electrical Permit Form. A rooftop retrofit that needs no structural building permit can be a stand-alone electrical sub-permit - which also means no City of Laurel Hill approval letter is needed for it. 72% · fee schedule
• Is a HOA or architectural approval required first? No. No HOA or architectural approval is required as a permit prerequisite, and FS 163.04 bars any deed restriction or HOA rule from prohibiting solar collectors on a residence. 60% · code full-text search (proved absence)
• Is there a historic-district review? No. There is no historic-district or certificate-of-appropriateness review affecting a Laurel Hill rooftop array. 55% · code full-text search (proved absence)
• Is a wind or windstorm certification required? No separate windstorm certification exists - that is not a Florida instrument. Wind design is handled inside the code: Okaloosa's published adopted-codes list names 'ASCE 7-22 Wind Design Criteria (Referenced in the 2023 Florida Building Code)' and the County links the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool from its Online Forms page for looking up the site wind speed. Separately, Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA documentation is required on the County's Product Approval Sheets for covered exterior products. 70% · department page (adopted codes)
• Is a Specific Use Permit or Council approval ever required? No Specific Use Permit or Council vote for a rooftop array. The only municipal discretionary step is the City of Laurel Hill Approval Letter, and the County's guide expressly exempts stand-alone sub-permits and sub-permits attached to a building permit from needing one - so an electrical-only PV retrofit should not touch the City at all. The County's Land Development Code does have a zoning entry for utility-scale 'Solar electrical generation facilities' as a permitted use, but that code applies only to the unincorporated area. 55% · county permit guide (interlocal)
• Is there a system-size cap on residential generation? No cap at the AHJ. The binding limits are the utility's: CHELCO's residential net-metering Rate RS-N is 'Applicable to ... Residential customers ... who have installed electric generation of less than 25 kilowatts (kW) alternating current on their premises'. Tier 1 (10 kW or less) requires no interconnection study and no liability insurance ($100,000 recommended only); above 10 kW a Facility Study is required with a $500 deposit and $1,000,000 liability insurance; 25 kW or larger member-owned generation enters a Purchase Power Agreement with PowerSouth. 82% · utility tariff

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 state-certified electrical contractor (FS 489.505), or the holder of an Okaloosa County certificate of competency in the electrical field, or the homeowner personally under the Owner's Privilege. 90% · ordinance
• Must the contractor be registered with this authority before applying? Yes. State-certified contractors 'may work anywhere in the state of Florida, but must register with each county or municipality'; state-registered and local-specialty contractors need county board approval, examination and a county certificate of competency, plus an Okaloosa County business tax receipt on file before the competency card is issued. 90% · department page
• Is a homeowner permitted to self-install and self-permit? Yes. Owner-builder self-permitting is allowed for a one- or two-family residence the owner occupies and does not build for sale or lease within 1 year, and Code Sec. 6-210 extends the same privilege specifically to electrical wiring. The owner must personally appear at the building department and sign the notarised Owner Builder Statement/Affidavit, file plans and prove qualifications, do the work under direct on-site supervision, and hold the County harmless. 90% · published 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? No solar-specific checklist is published. Assembled from the County's general requirements: Building Permit Application (Nov 2024 form) or the online CSS equivalent; Residential Electrical Permit Form (fee worksheet, 2025 revision); proof of property ownership; construction documents under ACC 107.1; plot/site plan under ACC 107.2.5 unless waived; Product Approval Sheet where a covered exterior product is involved; Notice of Commencement; Letter of Authorization if an agent applies; notarised Owner Builder Statement if self-permitting; and - only where a building permit rather than a stand-alone sub-permit is involved - a City of Laurel Hill Approval Letter obtained first from the City Clerk. 62% · department forms page
• How many copies, and in what format? ACC 107.1: submittal documents 'shall be submitted in two or more sets with each permit application', with electronic media permitted where approved by the building official. Since 3 November 2025 applications must in practice be filed online through the EnerGov CSS portal with documents uploaded. 75% · administrative code + department page
• Is a site plan required, and what must it show? Conditionally. ACC 107.2.5 requires construction documents to be accompanied by a scaled site plan showing size and location of new construction and existing structures, distances from lot lines, street grades, finished grades and flood hazard areas, drawn to an accurate boundary survey - but the same section authorises the building official 'to waive or modify the requirement for a site plan where the application for permit is for alteration or repair or where otherwise warranted', which is what a rooftop retrofit is. The County's Plot/Site Plan Information handout (April 2012) lists ten required items but is expressly written for development 'within the unincorporated area of the County', so it does not govern a Laurel Hill address. 60% · department handout + administrative code
• Is a one-line / three-line diagram required? Not by the AHJ - Okaloosa County publishes no one-line or three-line requirement. It is required on the utility side: CHELCO's Tier 1 interconnection package demands an 'Electrical one-line diagram and specification sheets for inverter, renewable energy source and other installed equipment, such as PV panels.' 62% · utility interconnection page
• Are string and conductor calculations required? No published requirement for string or conductor calculations, at County or City level. 55% · department forms page (proved absence)
• Is a structural PE stamp required, and at what threshold? No PV-specific threshold is published. ACC 107.1: construction documents 'shall be prepared by a registered design professional where required by Chapter 471, Florida Statutes or Chapter 481, Florida Statutes', and 'Where special conditions exist, the building official is authorized to require additional construction documents to be prepared by a registered design professional', sealed, signed and dated. The County also publishes an 'Affidavit of Architect and or Engineer' form for when one is involved. 68% · administrative code
• Is an electrical PE stamp required, and at what threshold? No electrical PE stamp threshold is published. The same ACC 107.1 discretion applies - a registered design professional where Chapters 471/481 FS require one, or where the building official finds special conditions. 62% · administrative code

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? Tyler Technologies EnerGov Customer Self Service (CSS), at https://energovweb.myokaloosa.com/energov_prod/selfservice - the County's own portal, not a City one. 93% · portal landing page
• Can the whole application be completed online? Yes for the County part - online is now mandatory: 'Beginning Monday Nov. 3, 2025, applicants seeking licensing, building permits and development-related approvals must apply online using the Customer Service Support (CSS) portal.' Two steps still cannot be done online: an owner-builder must personally appear at the building department to sign the notarised affidavit, and the City of Laurel Hill Approval Letter (where one is needed) is obtained from the City Clerk by phone/e-mail, not through any portal. 76% · department page
• What does a residential solar permit cost? There is no solar permit fee line. A residential PV job is priced off Okaloosa's published Inspection & Permitting Fees (effective 6 July 2017): $70.00 base fee per permit, plus the Residential Electrical items that apply - 'Miscellaneous wiring (if not included in new construction) $5.00 per circuit', or a main-service-size line ($25 up to 100A, $35 for 101-200A, $50 for 201-400A) if the service is changed - plus the residential plans examination fee of $25.00 or 20 percent of the total permit cost, whichever is greater, plus a 2.5 percent surcharge with a $4.00 minimum. A small retrofit with no service change therefore lands at roughly $105-$115; a job that also needs a building permit adds Table 1 valuation-based fees and a second $70 base fee. 52% · fee schedule
• How is the fee calculated? Tiered. For the electrical sub-permit it is a flat base fee plus a per-item/per-circuit schedule (not valuation and not per kW or per panel). If a building permit is also opened, that part is valuation-based off Table 1 with the valuation taken as the cost of construction for anything other than a new building. 70% · fee schedule
• Is there a separate plan-check fee? Yes. 'A plans examination fee of $25.00 or 20 percent of the total permit cost, whichever is greater, shall be applied to all residential permit applications to be collected at time of permit issuance. Re-submittals and addendums will be assessed a fee of $30.00.' 90% · 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? Trade permits next business day; single-family building permits 30 working days maximum. The County states 'All trade permits, window permits, door permits, and roof/re-roof permits are processed in the Fast Lane and issued next day', and ACC 105.3.4 sets the outer bound: 'A building permit for a single-family residential dwelling must be issued within 30 working days of application therefor unless unusual circumstances require a longer time'. 80% · department page + administrative code
• How long is an issued permit valid before it expires? Two years. ACC 105.5: 'Unless extended as provided for herein, every permit issued shall expire after two (2) years.' Work must commence within 6 months of issuance and a permit is void if work is suspended or abandoned for 6 months; work counts as in active progress only if it has received an approved inspection within 180 days. A Permit Extension Request Form is published. 90% · administrative code
• Which utility handles interconnection here? Both CHELCO and FPL (formerly Gulf Power) serve Laurel Hill - it has to be confirmed per address. Choctawhatchee Electric Cooperative (CHELCO) is the dominant one and owns distribution plant in the city; Gulf Power/FPL also serves part of it. 80% · city budget + utility page
• Where does the utility sit in the sequence? After permit, and after the County's inspection. CHELCO's step-by-step instructions for all three tiers begin 'Once your system has been inspected by the county building department, complete the interconnect agreement and send to CHELCO's Energy Services Department', and the Interconnection Agreement Sec. 3(a) requires 'Confirmation of the inspection report of the local code enforcement agency indicating compliance of the facility with all applicable local codes.' The County closes the loop from its side: ACC 112.1 'A person shall not make connections from a utility, source of energy, fuel or power to any building or system that is regulated by this code for which a permit is required, until released by the building official.' CHELCO then performs its own inspection and installs a programmed meter before parallel operation. 90% · utility DG instructions + administrative code

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 (NFPA 70-2020). Careful: the codified Okaloosa County Electrical Code, Sec. 6-203, still reads 'The Electrical Code shall be the 2005 edition of the NFPA 70' - that text dates from Ord. 07-48 (2007) and has never been updated. The live department page is what is in force. 85% · department page (adopted codes)
• Which building code edition is in force? 2023 Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (with the 2023 Florida Plumbing, Mechanical, Gas, Energy Conservation and Accessibility Codes, 8th Editions). 88% · department page (adopted codes)
• Which fire code edition is in force? 2023 Florida Fire Prevention Code, 8th Edition - based on NFPA 1, Fire Code 2021 Edition and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code 2021 Edition. 84% · department page (adopted codes)
• Are there local amendments to any of the above? Yes, but administrative only. Okaloosa County Code Sec. 6-133 'Amendments to' replaces the FBC's Chapter 1 Administration wholesale - permits, expiration, submittal documents, inspections, service utilities, certificates. No technical amendment touching PV, rooftop mounting, fire access or placards exists. 80% · ordinance
• What is the installation judged against? 2023 Florida Building Code 8th Edition (including FBC-Residential), NFPA 70-2020, ASCE 7-22 wind criteria and the 2023 Florida Fire Prevention Code 8th Edition, all unamended on the technical side; Okaloosa County Code Sec. 6-133 supplies the administration. 84% · department page (adopted codes)

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? No local amendment. Ridge setback and roof access pathways are whatever the adopted 2023 Florida Fire Prevention Code 8th Edition (NFPA 1, 2021) and the 2023 Florida Building Code require, applied unchanged - neither Okaloosa County nor Laurel Hill adds, relaxes or restates anything. I could not verify the dimensions themselves this run because the NFPA text is paywalled and I will not quote numbers I did not read. 50% · ordinance (proved absence, substance not retrieved)

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 - to NEC 2020, Article 690.12, because Okaloosa County adopts NFPA 70-2020 with no local electrical amendment. 76% · department page (adopted code) + inference

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? None of its own. Neither Okaloosa County nor the City of Laurel Hill specifies any placard at the service equipment. What applies is whatever NEC 2020 requires as adopted (690.13, 690.56, 705.10, 705.12 and related marking articles). Nothing is added locally. 70% · code full-text search (proved absence)
• Does the authority specify placard wording of its own? No. Neither authority specifies placard wording of its own. 72% · code full-text search (proved absence)
• Does it specify letter height, colour or material? No. No letter height, colour, contrast or material specification is published by either authority - NEC 2020 110.21(B) and the article-specific marking rules govern unmodified. 72% · code full-text search (proved absence)
• Is a site plan / facility map placard required, and what must it show? No local requirement for a site plan or facility map placard. NEC 2020 705.10 applies as adopted and is the whole of it; the County adds nothing. 62% · code full-text search (proved absence)
• Does the UTILITY specify placards beyond the AHJ's? No. CHELCO specifies no placard or labelling beyond the AHJ's. Its Technical Requirements for Distributed Generation Connection and its Interconnection Agreement contain no signage, placard or label requirement at all. What CHELCO does require physically is a switch, not a sign: Interconnection Agreement Sec. 4(c) - 'The Member maybe required to install a visible, open, lockable disconnect capable of isolating the Member's generator near the Member's service entrance and meter panel' - and, for non-inverter-based systems only, the drawing must show 'the electrical and physical location of the visual manual load break disconnect switch'. 72% · utility interconnection agreement (proved absence)
• Where must the labels be placed? No local placement specification. Label locations are whatever NEC 2020 requires at the PV disconnect, the service equipment and the point of interconnection; neither the County nor the City adds or relocates anything, and CHELCO's only locational requirement is for the isolating disconnect, 'near the Member's service entrance and meter panel'. 60% · utility interconnection agreement + proved local absence

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? Discretionary, and located near the service entrance and meter. CHELCO Interconnection Agreement Sec. 4(c): 'The Member maybe required to install a visible, open, lockable disconnect capable of isolating the Member's generator near the Member's service entrance and meter panel.' The Technical Requirements add that where an isolation switch is installed at the point of common coupling it 'shall be capable of being locked in the closed and open positions' and its position 'must be capable of being verified upon visual inspection without the use of tools to remove covers'. For inverter-based systems CHELCO's drawing requirement for a visual manual load-break disconnect applies only to NON-inverter-based systems, so a standard rooftop PV array is not automatically caught. 80% · utility interconnection agreement
• Must equipment be on a specific approved list? No PV-specific approved list. Two things do bite: Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA documentation is required for covered exterior products, and Okaloosa publishes a Product Approval Cover Letter plus spec sheets for roofs/siding, doors/windows/shutters and structural components that must be completed with manufacturer, product description and Florida approval number; and on the utility side CHELCO requires the connecting facility to 'comply with IEEE 1547, as well as all applicable standards from North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and other governing agencies.' 58% · department forms page + utility technical requirements
• Are batteries permitted, and under what conditions? Permitted, with no local conditions attached. Neither authority regulates residential battery/ESS: the County code has no energy-storage provision (the only 'energy storage equipment' hit is inside the utility-scale solar-facility zoning definition) and Fire Prevention Ch. 10 has nothing. Conditions come entirely from the 2023 FBC-R and the 2023 Florida Fire Prevention Code (NFPA 1 2021, which brings in NFPA 855). CHELCO's interconnection application does ask 'Battery Storage: Yes ___ No ___' as a declared field. 55% · code full-text search (proved absence)
• Is there a separate ESS permit or inspection? No. There is no separate ESS permit type or ESS inspection published by Okaloosa County - no ESS entry on the Online Forms page, no ESS fee line, and no ESS inspection in the ACC 110.3 required-inspection list. Battery work would be permitted as electrical (and, where a structure or enclosure is involved, building) under the ordinary sub-permit route. 52% · department forms page + fee schedule (proved absence)
• Is a ground mount treated as a structure? Yes - a ground mount is a structure and needs a building permit. ACC 105.1 requires a permit of anyone who intends to 'construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish' a building or structure, and the County's fee Table 1 prices non-new-building work by cost of construction. That also pulls the City back in: a building permit (unlike a stand-alone sub-permit) requires the City of Laurel Hill Approval Letter first. 55% · administrative code + fee schedule
• Is there a local rule on service upgrades or busbar sizing? No local rule on service upgrades or busbar sizing. The only local treatment of a service change is a fee: Okaloosa prices residential work by main service size ($25 up to 100A, $35 for 101-200A, $50 for 201-400A, $75 for 401-600A) and charges a $25 'service connect and re-connect' line that covers 'replacement of lugs, service mask, meter base and replace service at same size'. NEC 2020 705.12 governs on its own terms. 58% · fee schedule (proved absence)
• Is a specific mounting system or attachment spacing required? No local mounting or attachment-spacing requirement. Nothing in the County code, the adopting ordinance or any published County form specifies racking systems, fastener types or attachment spacing for PV; that falls to FBC/FBC-R and the product's own approval documents. 55% · ordinance (proved absence)

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. Through the Okaloosa County EnerGov CSS portal: sign in, View > My Permits, open the permit, then either Available Actions or Inspections > Request Inspections, tick the inspections needed and submit with a requested date and a comments/gate-code field. 88% · department how-to guide
• How much notice is required? One business day. The County's inspection-request guide states, against the Requested Date field, '**The soonest we can accommodate is the next business day**'. 85% · department how-to guide
• Are same-day or AM/PM windows offered? No same-day inspections and no published AM/PM windows - the request form takes a requested date only, plus a comments field for a phone number and any gate or key codes. Evening and weekend inspections exist but only as a paid special request: '$100.00 per hour (a minimum of one hour will be charged)'. Virtual inspections are offered and are scheduled through the same portal, with photos uploaded separately. Related priced options: early power inspection $50 residential, and a power service courtesy inspection $50 where the owner or the utility asks for a check before re-energising an existing service. 70% · fee schedule + department how-to guide

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? Delegated. The City of Laurel Hill performs no inspection of any kind. Okaloosa County performs the final electrical inspection itself, with its own inspectors under Building Official Purl Adams; the County also publishes a 'Notice to Building Official' form for the Florida private-provider route, so an owner may use a private provider under state law instead. 86% · department page + administrative code
• If delegated, to whom? Okaloosa County Growth Management Department, Building Division - 1250 N Eglin Pkwy Ste 301, Shalimar FL 32579 (850-651-7180) and 812 E James Lee Blvd, Crestview FL 32539 (850-689-5080). A Laurel Hill job is nearer the Crestview office. 90% · county permit guide (interlocal)

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 rooftop retrofit on an existing dwelling: a single electrical final. ACC 110.3 lists the electrical inspections as (1) underground, (2) rough-in 'to be made after the roof, framing, fireblocking and bracing is in place and prior to the installation of wall or ceiling membranes', (3) final, (4) existing swimming pools, (5) temporary poles - only the final applies to an array added to a finished house. The code also gives the building official express discretion: 'The building official shall determine the timing and sequencing of when inspections occur and what elements are inspected at each inspection.' If a building permit is also opened for roof attachment or a ground mount, the building list (foundation, framing, sheathing, roofing, final) comes into play. 64% · administrative code
• Is a rough-in or mid-roof inspection required? No, not for a rooftop retrofit on an existing house. The electrical rough-in inspection is defined as occurring before wall or ceiling membranes are installed, which does not arise; there is no mid-roof inspection in the County's list (the roofing inspection covers dry-in, insulation, coverings and flashing, and belongs to a re-roof, not a PV mount). 56% · administrative code

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 published inspection checklist. The County publishes required-inspection definitions in the codified ACC 110.3 and a how-to for booking one, but no checklist of what an inspector looks for - and nothing solar-specific at all. 68% · department forms page (proved absence)
• What must be on site at inspection? The permit card. The ACC defines 'Permit card or placard' as 'A document issued by the jurisdiction evidencing the issuance of a permit and recording of inspections', and ACC 110.5 makes it 'the duty of the permit holder to provide access to and means for inspections'; work must remain 'accessible and exposed for inspection purposes until approved'. Approved construction documents follow from ACC 110.6, which forbids work past the point indicated at each successive inspection without approval. On new construction a certified survey 'shall be available at the job site for review by the building inspector' - that clause is tied to the slab inspection, not to a retrofit. 52% · administrative code

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 / Certificate of Completion. The ACC defines 'Certificate of Completion (C.C.)' as 'An official document evidencing that a building satisfies the requirements of the jurisdiction for the completion of a building', distinct from a Certificate of Occupancy which is for occupancy of a building. A solar electrical sub-permit on an occupied house closes on the approved electrical final and its C.C., not a new C.O. 62% · administrative code
• Who notifies the utility for PTO? Installer/member. CHELCO does not pull anything and the County does not notify it. The member (or the installer acting for them) must, after the County inspection, send CHELCO the signed Interconnect Agreement with confirmation of the County's inspection report, the one-line diagram and equipment spec sheets, and the $25 application plus $50 connection fee - then 'Call CHELCO's Energy Services Department to arrange inspection of system and installation of programmed meter by CHELCO's Power Quality Department.' The agreement also requires the member to 'provide CHELCO's energy services department notice of project completion' before parallel operation. 84% · utility DG instructions + interconnection agreement
• Is there a re-inspection fee? Yes: $50.00 first reinspection, $100.00 second, $150.00 third and subsequent - each 'per trip per trade'. 90% · fee schedule
• How are corrections issued and cleared? ACC 110.3: on each inspection the building official 'shall either release that portion of the construction or shall notify the permit holder or his or her agent of any violations which must be corrected in order to comply with the technical codes'. ACC 110.6: 'Work shall not be done beyond the point indicated in each successive inspection without first obtaining the approval of the building official ... Any portions that do not comply shall be corrected and such portion shall not be covered or concealed until authorized.' Corrections are cleared by re-inspection, charged per trip per trade. Plan-stage corrections are handled as a re-submittal at $30.00 residential; the County's inspection guide routes everything through the CSS portal. 68% · administrative code + fee schedule
