Town of Campbellton

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. The Town of Campbellton is not the AHJ for residential solar. Building and electrical permitting and inspection at an address inside the Campbellton town limits are carried out by Jackson County Building Services, 4979 Healthy Way Suite B, Marianna FL 32446, 850-482-9805. 82% · live county permit ledger (town's own application) + state permit-issuer register + geocoder
• What does this authority permit itself, and what does it delegate? Delegated. Building, Electrical, Plumbing and Mechanical are exercised inside the town limits by Jackson County Building Services under the mechanism in Jackson County Code Sec. 10-28. Land use appears to stay with the Town: the County's own single-family checklist says that for a home built 'in the city limits' the county Residential Development Order 'is not required, but you must obtain a development order from the Municipality Town Hall'. 76% · county code (Municode content API) + county checklist
• Is a permit required for a residential rooftop PV system? Yes. A permit is required and Jackson County issues it. 'Solar' is a printed Purpose-of-Building checkbox on the County's Permit Application - All Trades and a selectable Purpose on the County's online application, and the County had three live residential SOLAR permits on its ledger in the 30 days to 11 Sep 2026. 90% · county permit application (extracted first-hand) + live county ledger
• Is there a separate electrical permit, or is it combined? Either, and both patterns are on the County's live ledger this month. The PV job at 4597 McCormick Rd produced two permits - BUILDING #29643413 and ELECTRICAL #29634018 - while the PV job at 566 Lookout Ln produced a single BUILDING permit #29632270. Building, Plumbing, Electrical and Mechanical are four checkboxes on one county application form with a Master Permit Number field to relate them. 82% · live county permit ledger (two specimens) + county application form
• Is a HOA or architectural approval required first? No approval is required by this authority, and Florida law limits what a private association can do. FS 163.04(1) expressly prohibits any local ordinance that prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting solar collectors; 163.04(2) voids any deed restriction, covenant or declaration that does so, though an association may still determine the specific location on the roof within an orientation south or within 45 degrees east or west of due south, provided that does not impair effective operation. 80% · Florida Statutes s.163.04 (enacted text) + county code search
• Is there a historic-district review? No. Neither this authority nor Jackson County publishes a historic-district or certificate-of-appropriateness review that would reach a rooftop PV retrofit. 60% · county code full-text search with controls
• Is a wind or windstorm certification required? No separate windstorm certification is required. Wind design comes through the code: FBC Residential R324.4.1.2 requires rooftop PV panels, modules and their supports to be designed and installed for wind loads in accordance with ASCE 7, and Jackson County Code Sec. 10-26 adopts a wind-speed line of 130 mph for Risk Categories I and II (which is a dwelling) across the entire county, 140 mph for Category III and 150 mph for Category IV. 72% · county code + FBC Residential R324
• Is a Specific Use Permit or Council approval ever required? Nothing like a Specific Use Permit or council vote is published for rooftop PV. There is one municipal step that may apply to construction inside the town limits: the County's own single-family checklist says that where a home is built in the city limits the county Residential Development Order 'is not required, but you must obtain a development order from the Municipality Town Hall'. Whether Campbellton applies that to a PV retrofit on an existing house is not published anywhere. 55% · county permit-process checklist
• Is there a system-size cap on residential generation? No cap is imposed by this authority or by Jackson County. The binding limit is the utility's: West Florida Electric's Member-Owned Generation agreement covers 'a generation system ... of no more than 25 kW of alternating current power output' primarily intended to offset the member's own use. Jackson County's only solar sizing rules, Sec. 42-74, are about utility-scale solar farms in agricultural and commercial land-use categories in the unincorporated county, not rooftop systems. 78% · utility interconnection agreement + county land development regulations

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. A state-certified or state-registered electrical contractor may pull it once registered with the County, or the homeowner may pull it as owner-builder under FS 489.103(7), whose full text is printed on the face of the County's application and which requires the owner to appear personally and sign. 85% · county permit application (extracted first-hand) + live county ledger
• Must the contractor be registered with this authority before applying? Yes. A state-certified contractor must file the County's Certified Contractor Form with a current copy of the state licence, a current General Liability certificate and Workers' Compensation (or exemption) 'listing Jackson County Bldg Dept as holder', plus a letter of authorization if anyone other than the licence holder pulls the permit. State-registered contractors instead take a County Competency Card: $150-$350 new by residency class for Registered General, $100-$300 for all other registered, renewal $50-$200, $10 per month late. 88% · county contractor registration form + fee schedule
• Is a homeowner permitted to self-install and self-permit? Yes. The County's own 2026 guidebook answers it in an FAQ: 'Can I pull my own permits? A residential homeowner can elect to serve as his or her own contractor.' The statutory basis, FS 489.103(7), is printed on the permit application; the owner must personally appear and sign, and the exemption covers one- and two-family residences occupied by the owner and not offered for sale or lease. 85% · county guidebook FAQ + permit application

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? There is no PV-specific submittal checklist. What a Jackson County residential solar submittal actually consists of, assembled from the County's own forms: the completed Permit Application - All Trades (owner, contractor licence and competency card, engineer/architect if any, class of work, permit type, purpose 'Solar', project cost, square footage, detailed description, notarised or e-signed declaration); the Florida Product Approval Specification Sheet required by FS 553.842; and a recorded Notice of Commencement, which the County requires whenever project cost is $5,000 or more - every live PV specimen in the county this month was $33,930-$37,016, so a recorded NOC is the norm. Contractor registration documents if not already on file. 62% · county application + product approval sheet + guidebook (assembled)
• How many copies, and in what format? Electronic. The whole application is filed through the County's iWorQ citizen portal with an e-signature and a 'Choose Files' upload, and the County's live records show the route in use - every Campbellton and solar specimen this month carries the entry 'Web Form - Permit Application'. A paper route exists (the Building Official may accept applications in a nonelectronic format under FS 553.792(1)(b)) but no copy count is published for it. 60% · live county online application form + permit records
• Is a structural PE stamp required, and at what threshold? No structural PE stamp threshold is published for residential work. The County requires signed and sealed architect/engineer plans only for commercial projects ('Submit 3 complete sets of architect/engineer sealed building plans'), and its residential checklists ask for building plans and truss drawings without a seal requirement. The governing structural duty for rooftop PV is FBC Residential R324.4.1 and R324.4.1.2 (system and roof designed for the imposed gravity loads, and wind loads per ASCE 7), which does not itself name a stamp. 62% · county guidebook + FBC Residential R324

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? iWorQ Citizen Portal, at jacksoncounty.portal.iworq.net/portalhome/jacksoncounty. It carries the Building Permit Application, a past-permit status search split into two datasets (1 Oct 2019 to current, and 25 Jul 2011 to 30 Sep 2019), the code-complaint form and complaint search, an inspection-request form and a scheduling calendar. 92% · authority permit portal (live)
• Can the whole application be completed online? Yes for the application and for inspection requests; payment is the part that is not evidenced online. The online form collects property, contractor, owner, applicant, engineer, project type, purpose (SOLAR is an option), cost, square footage and description, takes an e-signature under penalty of perjury and a file upload, and submits. Inspections are requested through the portal with an access code and a day-availability calendar. Permit records show fees and 'Amount Due' and recorded payments, but no online payment step was reachable in this run. 70% · live county online application + inspection-request form
• What does a residential solar permit cost? Calculated, not flat. Jackson County's Construction Permit fee is $46 for the first $1,000 of valuation plus $8 for each additional $1,000 (and $2.50 per $1,000 above $1,000,000), minimum $46, plus the state surcharge of 2.5% or $4, whichever is greater. A live residential rooftop PV permit this month bears that out exactly: #29632270, project cost $37,016, was charged Construction Permit $342.00 + 2.5% Surcharge $8.55 = $350.55, reduced by a Private Provider 25% discount (-$85.50 and -$2.14) to $262.91 paid. A separately pulled residential electrical permit is $111.00 flat (Additions/Alterations/Accessory Structure); a stand-alone Service Upgrade is $66.00. 88% · county fee schedule (dated 2016) + live permit fee record
• How is the fee calculated? Valuation. Fee is a function of the declared cost of construction in $1,000 steps. 90% · county fee schedule + live permit fee record
• Is there a separate plan-check fee? No, not for residential. The County's plan review fee is 'Half the permit fee for commercial projects - paid at submission of Permit Application'; the fee schedule states 'Plan Review Fees/Commercial Only is 1/2 permit fee'. The live residential PV permit was charged no plan-review line. 88% · county fee schedule + live permit fee record

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? The County publishes no turnaround of its own; the statutory clock in FS 553.792 applies. For work on an EXISTING single-family dwelling valued under $15,000 the decision is due within 5 business days; for a residential structure under 7,500 sq ft otherwise it is 30 business days. The County must also tell the applicant within 5 business days what is missing, or the application is deemed complete; and it must cut the permit fee by 10% for every business day it misses the deadline. Note that live Jackson County PV jobs run $33,930-$37,016, so the 30-business-day bucket is the realistic one. 70% · Florida Statutes s.553.792 (enacted text)
• How long is an issued permit valid before it expires? One year. FS 553.79(1)(c): 'A building permit issued by a local government for a single-family dwelling expires 1 year after the issuance of the permit or on the effective date of the next edition of the Florida Building Code, whichever is later', and the local government may extend it. The County publishes no expiry rule of its own; its fee schedule prices a permit transfer at 100% of the original fee where construction is under 90% complete, and a 50% refund where no inspections have been made. 82% · Florida Statutes s.553.79 (enacted text) + county fee schedule
• Which utility handles interconnection here? West Florida Electric Cooperative Association, Inc. (Bonifay, FL; district offices at Graceville, Bonifay and Sneads; 1-800-342-7400) - a member-owned rural cooperative, not an FPSC-regulated investor-owned utility for retail-service purposes. Confirm from the meter before relying on it. 62% · state retail service territory GIS layer + utility's own documents
• Where does the utility sit in the sequence? Parallel for the paperwork, but the utility is the last gate. Under West Florida Electric's Member-Owned Generation agreement the member files the Interconnection Application, and at least 10 business days before operating in parallel must give the cooperative IEEE 1547 / 1547.1 and UL 1741 certifications, proof of at least $100,000 general liability insurance, and 'documentation showing the MOG has been inspected and approved by local code officials prior to its operation'. The cooperative approves or disapproves the application within 10 business days. So the AHJ inspection must precede permission to operate. 80% · utility interconnection agreement (extracted first-hand)

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? NFPA 70, 2020 edition. Florida adopts the NEC statewide through the Florida Building Code; the FBC 8th Edition (2023) Chapter 35 referenced-standards table lists '70-20 National Electrical Code (NEC)', and the Florida Electrical Code 2020 is stated to adopt NFPA 70, 2020 without amendments. 85% · FBC 8th Edition (2023) Chapter 35 referenced standards
• Which building code edition is in force? Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), effective 31 December 2023 - still the code in force on the date of this check. Jackson County Code Sec. 10-24 adopts 'the most recent edition of the Florida Building Code, as now constituted and as it may be updated or amended in the future by the Florida Building Commission ... in total, as the Jackson County Building Code' (Ord. 2023-08; Ord. 2026-03, 28 Apr 2026). For a one- or two-family dwelling the operative volume is the Florida Building Code, Residential. 92% · state adopting authority + county adopting ordinance
• Which fire code edition is in force? Florida Fire Prevention Code - NFPA 1, Florida 2021 Edition, adopted by FAC 69A-60.003 with an effective date of 31 December 2023, applying statewide under FS 633.202. The 9th Edition is in rulemaking (notices published 9 Jan and 12 Jun 2026) but is not yet effective. Campbellton has no fire code function of its own. 88% · Florida Administrative Code rule 69A-60.003
• Are there local amendments to any of the above? No technical local amendments. Jackson County adopts the Florida Building Code 'in total' (Sec. 10-24) and adds only administrative and wind-speed provisions: Sec. 10-25 (permanent electrical service), Sec. 10-26 and 10-27 (wind-speed lines of 130/140/150 mph by risk category), Sec. 10-28 (application to municipalities), Sec. 10-29 (fees). Campbellton publishes no code of ordinances at all, so it has no amendments. 80% · county code Chapter 10 read in full with search controls
• What is the installation judged against? The Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023) - Residential volume for a one- or two-family dwelling - together with NFPA 70 (2020), FBC-R Section R324 for solar energy systems, and the manufacturer's installation instructions. R324.3 states photovoltaic systems 'shall be designed and installed in accordance with Sections R324.3.1 through R324.7.1, NFPA 70 and the manufacturer's installation instructions'. 85% · FBC Residential R324 + state adopting authority

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? FBC-R R324.6, unamended locally. Not fewer than two pathways at least 36 inches wide, on separate roof planes, from lowest roof edge to ridge, with at least one on the street or driveway side; and for each roof plane carrying an array, a 36-inch pathway from lowest edge to ridge on that plane or an adjacent one. Ridge setback: at least 18 inches clear on both sides of a horizontal ridge where the array occupies no more than 33% of the plan-view roof area, 36 inches where it occupies more (with an NFPA 13D/P2904 sprinkler alternative moving the threshold to 66%). No panels below an emergency escape and rescue opening, with a 36-inch pathway to it. The whole section does not apply to roofs of 2:12 slope or less, or where the code official determines rooftop operations will not be employed. 85% · FBC Residential R324.6

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 to NEC 2020 690.12, because the 2020 NEC is the edition in force statewide and neither Jackson County nor Campbellton amends it. In practice that means module-level shutdown: conductors outside the array boundary limited to 30 V and inside the boundary to 80 V within 30 seconds of initiation, with a readily accessible initiation device and status indication. 72% · adopted NEC edition (Florida Electrical Code 2020) + absence of local amendment

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 the Town of Campbellton nor Jackson County requires any placard beyond what NFPA 70 (2020) itself requires at the service equipment for an interconnected PV system - the 690 and 705 series markings, including the permanent plaque or directory at the service equipment denoting the location of all electric power source disconnecting means. There is no county or municipal signage ordinance, bulletin, handout or inspection sheet. 72% · complete county document set + county code search with controls
• Does the authority specify placard wording of its own? No. This authority specifies no placard wording of its own, and neither does Jackson County. 80% · county code full-text search with controls + complete county document set
• Does it specify letter height, colour or material? No. No letter height, colour, material or durability specification is set by this authority or by Jackson County; whatever NEC 110.21(B) and the 690/705 marking sections require is the whole of it. 78% · complete county document set + county code search with controls
• Is a site plan / facility map placard required, and what must it show? Not required by this authority. No site-plan or facility-map placard is specified locally; the only applicable requirement is NEC 2020 705.10's plaque or directory at the service equipment denoting the location of all electric power sources on the premises. 65% · complete county document set + adopted NEC edition
• Does the UTILITY specify placards beyond the AHJ's? No. West Florida Electric Cooperative specifies no placard of its own. What it does specify is hardware and paperwork: a visible-load-break manual disconnect (q48), UL 1741 / UL 1703 / IEEE 1262 and IEEE 929 compliance certified on the Interconnection Application, $100,000 general liability insurance, and local code-official sign-off on the form before parallel operation. 75% · utility interconnection documents (read in full)
• Where must the labels be placed? No local placement rule. Placement is whatever NFPA 70 (2020) requires for each marking - at the PV system disconnecting means, at the service equipment, and at the interconnection point. The one physical placement this authority's chain does fix is the utility's AC disconnect, which must be mounted separate from the meter socket (see q48). 65% · complete county document set + utility interconnection agreement

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? Separate from the meter socket. West Florida Electric's MOG agreement paragraph 3(a) requires the member to 'install a manual disconnect switch of the visible load break type to provide a separation point between the AC power output of the MOG and any Member wiring connected to Cooperative's system. The manual disconnect switch shall be mounted separate from the meter socket and shall be readily accessible to Cooperative and capable of being locked in the open position with a utility padlock.' The cooperative may open it without prior notice. Its location is a declared field on the Interconnection Application. 85% · utility interconnection agreement (extracted first-hand)
• Must equipment be on a specific approved list? Yes, by listing rather than by a local approved-products list, and additionally through Florida's statewide product approval. FBC-R R324.3.1: PV panels and modules listed and labeled to UL 1703; inverters listed and labeled to UL 1741; grid-connected systems using inverters listed for utility interaction; mounting systems listed and labeled to UL 2703 installed per their listings. Separately, FS 553.842 statewide product approval is administered by Jackson County through its Product Approval Specification Sheet, which warns that at inspection the product approval, the performance characteristics tested to, and the manufacturer's installation requirements must all be available to the inspector on the jobsite, and 'these products may have to be removed if approval cannot be demonstrated during inspection'. The cooperative requires the same UL listings again on its interconnection form. 85% · FBC Residential R324.3.1 + county product approval form + utility form
• Are batteries permitted, and under what conditions? Batteries are permitted; no local condition is published. Nothing in the Jackson County code or in any county form addresses energy storage, and Campbellton publishes nothing. The governing text is the Florida Fire Prevention Code (NFPA 1, Florida 2021 Edition) as adopted statewide, plus NFPA 70. On the utility side the cooperative's Interconnection Application collects battery manufacturer and model alongside modules and inverter, so a storage-coupled system is contemplated by the interconnection process rather than excluded from it. 58% · utility interconnection form + county code search with controls
• Is there a separate ESS permit or inspection? No separate ESS permit or ESS inspection is published. The County's online application Purpose list - which does carry SOLAR, GENERATOR, EV CHARGING STATION and HYDROPANELS as distinct entries - has no battery or energy-storage entry, and its 101-entry inspection-type list has SOLAR FINAL and GENERATOR FINAL but nothing for storage. Storage would ride on the building and electrical permits for the PV work. 65% · live county online application + portal inspection-type list
• Is a ground mount treated as a structure? Yes, in the sense that it is permitted and inspected as construction under FBC-R R324.7 - ground-mounted PV systems 'shall be designed and installed in accordance with Section R301' - with fire separation distances expressly left to the local jurisdiction by R324.7.1, and Jackson County publishes no such distance. Note that the County's land development regulations Sec. 42-74 regulate solar FARMS (freestanding ground-mounted generation for use elsewhere, allowed in agricultural, commercial, industrial and public land use categories, six-foot fencing, high-voltage warning signs) - that is a different thing from a residential ground mount serving the house it stands beside, and in any case it is a county land-use rule reaching the unincorporated county. 65% · FBC Residential R324.7 + county land development regulations
• Is there a local rule on service upgrades or busbar sizing? No local rule on service upgrades or busbar sizing is published. Sizing is NEC 705.12 as adopted. The only local artefacts are fee and process ones: the County prices a residential Service Upgrade electrical permit at $66.00 and a residential Additions/Alterations electrical permit at $111.00, and its inspection-type list carries SERVICE UPGRADE, SERVICE DISCONNECT, SERVICE REPAIR and PERMANENT POWER as distinct inspections. 60% · county fee schedule + portal inspection-type list
• Is a specific mounting system or attachment spacing required? No local mounting or attachment-spacing rule. The requirements are code and product-approval ones: FBC-R R324.3.1 requires mounting systems listed and labeled to UL 2703 to be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and their listings; R324.4.1 requires the system and the roof to support the imposed loads; R324.4.3 requires roof penetrations to be flashed and sealed per Chapter 9; and FS 553.842 statewide product approval is administered locally through the County's Product Approval Specification Sheet, which must be filed with the application. 72% · FBC Residential R324 + county product approval form

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 or phone. The iWorQ portal carries an inspection-request form (access code, requested by, phone, email, inspection type, comments) and a scheduling calendar that checks day availability; the County's 2026 guidebook describes the phone route, 850-482-9805, with the permit number and inspection type in hand. FS 553.79(1)(d) separately requires the local enforcement agency to allow inspection requests to be submitted electronically. 85% · live county portal + county guidebook
• How much notice is required? Next business day. The County's guidebook states it twice: 'All inspections must be called in by 2:30 PM for the following day inspections.' 85% · county guidebook (extracted first-hand)
• Are same-day or AM/PM windows offered? No AM/PM windows are published. Same-day inspections are discretionary: 'The Building Official may grant same day inspections only for emergencies. Specific inspection times will be considered if inspectors routing will allow.' The portal's scheduler offers a day at a time - pick a day, view calendar openings - not a time window. 82% · county guidebook + live portal scheduler

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 County performs it itself - unless the owner elects a private provider under FS 553.791, in which case the County stands down. SOLAR FINAL is one of the 101 inspection types in Jackson County's own scheduler, a county inspector (Tony Sapp) is named on a live Campbellton-addressed electrical permit's inspection record, and a live county solar permit carries the County's own note 'USING PRIVATE PROVIDER-DO NOT SCHEDULE ANY INSPECTIONS AND NOC RECEIVED'. 85% · live county permit ledger + portal inspection-type list
• If delegated, to whom? To a licensed private provider, and only when the owner or contractor elects one under FS 553.791. That election suspends the County's own inspections - the County's live note on a solar permit reads 'USING PRIVATE PROVIDER-DO NOT SCHEDULE ANY INSPECTIONS' - and earns a fee reduction, applied on that permit as 'Private Provider 25% Discount' and 'Private Provider 25% Surcharge Discount'. Otherwise nothing is delegated. 80% · Florida Statutes s.553.791 + live county permit record

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? No published sequence for PV. What the County's own scheduler offers for this work is a single SOLAR FINAL. Where the job also touches the service, separate types exist and would each be booked: SERVICE UPGRADE, SERVICE DISCONNECT, SERVICE REPAIR, ROUGH IN ELECTRICAL ONLY, BONDING, GROUNDING, PERMANENT POWER. General rule from the guidebook: no inspection is made until the permits are issued, posted and paid, and work may not proceed past a phase until that phase is inspected and approved. 65% · live portal inspection-type list + county guidebook
• Is a rough-in or mid-roof inspection required? No. There is no rough-in or mid-roof inspection for a PV retrofit - the County's scheduler has one solar entry, SOLAR FINAL, and its rough-in types are all framing, MEP or roof-deck types tied to new construction and re-roofing (ROUGH IN ELECTRICAL ONLY, DECKING/SHEATHING, ROOF NAILING ONLY, FRAMING/STRAPPING/ROUGH IN). 60% · live portal inspection-type list

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. Jackson County publishes no inspection checklist of any kind - solar or otherwise - and Campbellton publishes nothing at all. 75% · complete county document set enumerated and read
• What must be on site at inspection? Posted on the job, viewable from the street, on a permit board protected from the elements: the permit, the inspection card, the recorded Notice of Commencement, and the approved drawings. The recorded NOC must reach Building Services before any inspection is made where project cost is $5,000 or more - which every live Jackson County PV job this month was. Product approval documentation must also be available to the inspector on site (q56). Inspections are not made until permits are issued, posted and all fees paid. 78% · county guidebook (extracted first-hand)
• Does the inspector verify labels and listings? Yes for product approval and listings, explicitly. The County's Product Approval Specification Sheet is signed by the contractor above this acknowledgement: 'I understand that at the time of inspection of these products, the following information must be available to the inspector on the jobsite: 1) copy of the product approval; 2) the performance characteristics which the product was tested and certified to comply with; and 3) copy of the applicable manufacturers installation requirements. Further, I understand these products may have to be removed if approval cannot be demonstrated during inspection.' Nothing published says the inspector checks NEC placards specifically, but a SOLAR FINAL against NEC 2020 necessarily reaches the 690/705 markings. 70% · county product approval form (extracted first-hand)

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? For a retrofit, an approved final on the permit rather than a certificate - the County's own inspection type is SOLAR FINAL, and permits close out to status CLOSED on the ledger.

• Who notifies the utility for PTO? The installer or the member, not the AHJ. West Florida Electric's Interconnection Application and Compliance Form is structured for it: the member and contractor complete sections A-E, the local code inspector signs section F(1) 'Satisfies Code Requirements', and the member returns the form with the IEEE/UL certifications and the insurance proof at least 10 business days before parallel operation; the cooperative then signs F(2) 'Satisfies Utility Requirements' and returns a copy. Jackson County does not notify the utility. 80% · utility interconnection documents (read in full)

• How are corrections issued and cleared? Failed or not-ready inspections are re-requested the same way as the first request, identified as a re-inspection, with the escalating fee at q59 paid first; work may not proceed until the phase is inspected and approved.
