Tips

  • Roosevelt City has no separate solar/photovoltaic permit, application, or fee line — confirmed by direct fetch of the Building Department page (rooseveltcity.gov/151/Building-Department) and the Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 2024-322), plus a general web search, on 2026-07-21. This matches the same conclusion already flagged in this file's residential-building-permit entry (checked 2026-07-19).
  • File a solar PV installation under whichever general building permit matches the property type — Residential/Duplex or Commercial — using the valuation-based Building Permit Fee table, plus the standard $25.00 Electrical Inspection fee for the electrical/interconnection work.
  • Confirm with the Building Department (435-722-5001) whether a roof-mounted array on an existing home requires the same structural review as new construction, since the city's own forms do not separately address retrofit solar installations.
