Solar / Solar PV Installation Permit in Lindon, Utah

Lindon does not publish a distinct solar or solar-PV permit application, checklist, or fee. Solar installations (rooftop or ground-mounted) are explicitly named within the same 'Other Residential' Building Permit Application Fee category used for pools, additions, detached garages, sheds, and retaining walls — the city's 2025-2026 Fee Schedule (FY2025-26 Final Budget) lists this category's parenthetical as '(Pools, additions, detached garages, sheds, retaining walls, solar)' at a flat $100.00. A full-text search of the Building & Inspection department page and the site found zero dedicated solar checklist, application form, or solar-specific requirements published by the city.

When you need this permit

  • Building permit application submitted through Lindon's online CivicReview portal, same as other 'Other Residential' permit types (no solar-specific application form is published)
  • Electrical plan showing PV system components (panels, inverter(s), disconnects, conductor sizing) sufficient for the Building Department's standard electrical review, since Lindon has no separate solar checklist to define scope-specific submittal requirements
  • Site plan showing panel/array location for roof-mounted systems, or location and setbacks for ground-mounted arrays
  • Utility interconnection agreement with Rocky Mountain Power for grid-tied systems — coordinated directly with the utility, (888) 221-7070, separately from the city building permit, consistent with how Lindon handles other utility-coordinated electrical work (temporary/permanent power)

Tips

  • Lindon has no distinct solar or solar-PV permit type, application, or fee — solar is one of six project types explicitly grouped under the flat $100 'Other Residential' Building Permit Application Fee, alongside pools, additions, detached garages, sheds, and retaining walls.
  • Because Lindon has no separate electrical-permit category (see this file's EV-charger entry), a solar installation's electrical scope is reviewed as part of the same general building permit rather than a standalone electrical permit.
  • Grid-tied systems require a separate utility interconnection agreement directly with Rocky Mountain Power, (888) 221-7070 — this is independent of, and in addition to, the city building permit.
  • The $2,500 'Other Residential' Public Improvement Repair Assurance bond does not explicitly name solar in its own fee-schedule parenthetical (unlike the Application Fee's parenthetical, which does) — confirm with the Building Department whether it applies to your specific installation, especially for ground-mounted arrays.

No Lindon-specific code-edition statement was found on lindon.gov's Building & Inspection page, Building Department Forms & Applications page, or in the current Fee Schedule; Lindon has not published a local amendment opting out of the statewide code, so the statutory statewide edition is used here rather than invented city-specific text.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), as amended by the State of Utah — effective statewide July 1, 2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (2026 General Session update); no Lindon-specific IBC edition statement found on the city's own site.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — adopted statewide under Utah Code § 15A-2-103; no Lindon-specific NEC edition statement found on the city's own site.; 2015 International Plumbing Code (IPC), Table 403.1 — cited by name in Lindon City's own current Fee Schedule (Sewer Utility Fee and Water Utility Fee sections: 'Based on Table 403.1 in 2015 International Plumbing Code as currently adopted or as may be amended'), effective 07/01/2026 fee schedule.
