Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical Permit

Required for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical installation, alteration, or repair work in unincorporated Yuma County — including new residential solar photovoltaic installation, A/C relocation/replacement, water heater replacement, and sewer line repair outside the public right-of-way — administered by the DDS Building Safety Division and often issued via the county's Over-the-Counter Permits track for qualifying minor projects.

Reviewed 2026-07-07 · Source

Building Permit Fees, per the DDS Fee Schedule, expressly include plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work: 'the fee for each permit shall be as set forth and detailed in Attachments #1 through #6' (Attachment #4 Table No. 1-1 Plumbing Permit Fees; Attachment #5 Table No. 3A Electrical Permit Fees; Attachment #6 Section 106.5.2 Mechanical Permit Fees)
Over-the-Counter (minor project) permits are available for: Service Clearance; Water Heater Replacement; A/C Relocation/Replacement; Window Replacement; Sewer Line Repair not in public right-of-way; Utilities not in public right-of-way; Residential Solar/PV Installation — using the county's dedicated Submittal Guide & Application

A licensed contractor must be used for any work requiring a license under the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC); owners may self-perform many minor projects but must follow applicable regulations
Electric or gas clearance (turning utilities back on) requires a permit for the underlying work; for commercial projects a licensed contractor must be retained, and a building inspector must verify the work meets minimum standards before clearance

A licensed contractor must obtain the set-up permit; fees are set by the state's published schedule, not a county flat fee.

Residential Solar / Photovoltaic (PV) Installation Permit

Unincorporated Yuma County treats residential solar/PV installation as one of the Department of Development Services' Over-the-Counter (OTC) minor-project permit categories, alongside service clearance, water heater replacement, and A/C relocation/replacement — processed at the counter via the county's OTC Submittal Guide & Application rather than the full multi-week Residential Permit Guide review track. No distinct flat or per-watt solar fee line was found published separately from the general Building Permit Fee (Table No. 1-A, valuation-based) and Electrical Permit Fee (Table No. 3A) that this OTC permit is billed under (same fee attachments cited in the electrical-plumbing-mechanical-permit entry). Arizona's statewide solar-permitting statute, A.R.S. § 11-323, independently caps what the county may charge and constrains what the county may require on plans.

Reviewed 2026-07-20 · Source

Requirements

Residential Solar/PV Installation is one of the explicitly listed Over-the-Counter (OTC) minor-project permit categories in Yuma County DDS's OTC Submittal Guide & Application, alongside Service Clearance, Water Heater Replacement, A/C Relocation/Replacement, Window Replacement, and Sewer Line Repair (not in public R.O.W.)
Per A.R.S. § 11-323 (statewide, applies to every Arizona county including Yuma): construction plans must show the location of the photovoltaic system and mounting details; electrical diagrams (one-line or three-line) are required and may be satisfied through a qualified online/third-party platform; the county may not require a professional engineer's stamp on a single-family system's plans unless the county determines it is necessary and provides a written explanation
Per A.R.S. § 11-323, any building/permit fee the county assesses for a solar construction permit must be attributable to and defray/cover the actual expense of the service for which it is charged, may not exceed actual cost, and the county must provide a written itemized cost breakdown to the applicant upon request
A licensed contractor (Arizona Registrar of Contractors) is required for work requiring a license; a copy of the contractor's current ROC license must be on file

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station / EVSE Permit

Unincorporated Yuma County has no distinct EV charger/EVSE permit application or fee line. EV charging station circuit installation is billed and reviewed as ordinary electrical work under the county's existing Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical Permit (P/E/M Permit), the same permit type used for other electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work in the county, per Attachment #5 (Table No. 3A Electrical Permit Fees) of the DDS Fee Schedule. The county's own Over the Counter Permits Submittal Guide & Application (which lists its minor-project categories -- Service Clearance, Water Heater Replacement, A/C Relocation/Replacement, Window Replacement, Sewer Line Repair, Utilities, and Residential Solar/PV Installation) was checked directly and contains no electric-vehicle, EV charger, or EVSE category, confirming there is no dedicated minor-project pathway for EV chargers either.

Reviewed 2026-07-20 · Source

Requirements

No standalone EV charger/EVSE permit application exists; EV charging station circuit work is permitted through the county's standard Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical Permit (P/E/M Permit)
Building Permit Fees, per the DDS Fee Schedule, expressly cover electrical work: 'the fee for each permit shall be as set forth and detailed in Attachments #1 through #6' (Attachment #5, Table No. 3A Electrical Permit Fees)
The county's Over the Counter Permits Submittal Guide & Application -- which covers Service Clearance, Water Heater Replacement, A/C Relocation/Replacement, Window Replacement, Sewer Line Repair (not in public R.O.W.), Utilities (not in public R.O.W.), and Residential Solar/PV Installation -- does NOT list EV chargers/EVSE among its minor-project categories, so a standard (not over-the-counter) electrical permit process applies unless county staff direct otherwise at intake
A licensed contractor under the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) must be used for licensed work; owners may self-perform many minor electrical projects but must follow applicable regulations

Also confirmed Yuma County itself (as opposed to the City of Yuma) is not hosted on either Municode or American Legal Publishing at all, so the amlegal.com Electrical Code link cited below points to the wrong jurisdiction's code and should not be relied on for the county's fee table.
