  • Residential solar permit fees in Logan are based on project value (not a flat fee) — only commercial solar is a flat $200 building-division fee. An electrical permit (8% of building permit fee) is also required for the wiring/inverter regardless of building type.
  • The 2023 NEC governs solar electrical installations; 3-foot fire department access pathways are required on the roof per IFC.
  • Solar battery storage only installations use a separate Logan form ('Solar Battery Install Only').
