Solar / Solar-PV Installation Permit in Kanab, Utah
Kanab has no distinct solar or photovoltaic (PV) installation permit type or fee. A direct text search of the Kanab City Building Department page, all three Building FAQ entries (QID 179/182/183), the general Frequently Asked Questions page, Land Use Ordinance Chapter 4, the 2024 Adopted Consolidated Fee Schedule, and the July 2025 Consolidated Fee Schedule found zero mentions of 'solar' or 'photovoltaic' in any of them. Rooftop/ground-mount solar-PV installation, as electrical/construction work regulated by the city's adopted 2023 NEC and 2024 IBC, is understood to route through the same general Building Permit and CityInspect application documented elsewhere in this record, priced under the same ICC Building Valuation Data Tool formula (or, for smaller retrofit-scale installs on an existing structure, under the Renovation/Remodel line priced by number of required inspections) — no distinct solar fee has been published to confirm or contradict this.

Tips
- Kanab has no distinct solar/PV permit type or fee — the Building Department page, all Building FAQs, Land Use Ordinance Chapter 4, and both the 2024 and July 2025 Adopted Consolidated Fee Schedules contain zero mentions of 'solar' or 'photovoltaic.'
- Solar-PV installation is expected to route through the same general Building Permit and its ICC Building Valuation Data Tool fee formula (new-install-scale projects) or the Renovation/Remodel inspection-count-based fee (smaller retrofit-scale projects) as standard construction/electrical work; confirm directly with the Building Department (435-644-2534) before budgeting.
- The July 2025 Consolidated Fee Schedule adds a 'Residential Plan Review (1- & 2-Family Dwellings and Townhomes)' fee of $150.00/unit not present in the 2024 schedule — this may apply to a residential solar-PV submittal in addition to the general building permit fee; confirm with the Building Department.
