Solar PV Installation Permit in Unincorporated Juab County, Utah

Juab County does not publish a distinct solar, solar PV, or renewable-energy installation permit or fee. The county's own Building Permit Application form (juabcounty.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Bldg-Permit-form.pdf) offers only "Residential," "Electrical," "Commercial/Industrial," "Shed/Garage," "Agricultural," "Remodel/Addition," and "Other" checkboxes under "Type of Construction" — there is no "Solar" or "PV" category, and the word "solar" appears nowhere on the form. A solar PV installation (rooftop or ground-mount, residential or commercial) is processed under this same single Building Permit Application and valuation-based fee, computed by the Planning and Zoning Department from the project's Total Valuation, the same as any other electrical or remodel/addition work.

Tips

  • Juab County has no separate solar or solar PV permit type — check "Electrical" (and, if applicable, "Residential"/"Commercial/Industrial" or "Remodel/Addition") under Type of Construction on the single county Building Permit Application form for a solar installation.
  • Because the county computes the Building Permit Fee from declared Total Valuation with no published rate table, confirm the exact fee for a specific solar project with Planning and Zoning at (435) 623-3400 before applying.
  • This entry covers residential/commercial rooftop or ground-mount solar installed on an individual parcel's own building permit — it does not cover utility-scale solar energy generation facilities (e.g., the 80-megawatt Clover Creek Solar Project in Juab County), which are development-scale projects reviewed through a separate site-plan/conditional-use and, in that project's case, Community Reinvestment Agency process rather than this Building Permit Application.
