Photovoltaic (Solar) Permit in Dillon, Colorado
Required for residential and commercial photovoltaic (solar) system installations in Dillon. A Town of Dillon Development Permit is required first (solar panels are explicitly listed among projects requiring a Development Permit). The Summit County Building Inspection Department then issues the PV permit; residential roof-mounted systems under 15kW may be issued over the counter if the submittal is complete, while larger, ground-mounted, and commercial systems require plan review.

Summit County Building Permit Fee Schedule, Photovoltaic Permit Fees table — RESIDENTIAL PERMIT FEE at $325.00. Summit County publishes two incompatible bases for photovoltaic fees: this flat-fee table, and its Exhibit A/B code-amendment PDF, which instead says to see the electrical valuation table “not to exceed $400.00” residential and “$1,000.00” commercial. Both are current County publications. The flat figures are recorded here because they are the more specific and the ones the fee-schedule page states outright.Summit County Building Permit Fee Schedule, Photovoltaic Permit Fees table — COMMERCIAL PLAN REVIEW at $350.00.

Tips
- A residential roof-mounted system under 15kW with a fully complete submittal can potentially be issued over the counter — have every required document (application, submittal requirements, checklist) ready to maximize the chance of same-visit issuance.
- Ground-mounted systems always require plan review regardless of system size.
