All, 

Earlier this month we sent out an industry notice where we notified you of COH New Submittal Requirement for Photovoltaic Permits.

Effective June 1, 2023, the COH photovoltaic permit submittals will have an additional submittal requirement of a Residential Photovoltaic System Permit Authorization form.

• The authorization form will demonstrate the relationship between the solar contractor and the property owner and must include contact information for the property owner.
• After June 1, 2023, any photovoltaic permit submittal that does not include the Residential Photovoltaic System Permit Authorization will be rejected and asked to resubmit.
• City of Henderson may contact the property owner to verify consent.
• The new form will be available on the COH website. You can also access it using this link.

This change comes in response to industry and customer concerns regarding multiple permit applications by various contractors for the same address and also permit applications submitted for projects without the property owner's consent.

Exceptions to this requirement are permit submittals where:

• Licensed contractors are installing photovoltaic projects as part of new subdivision home construction where authorized by the developer/homebuilder.
• A property owner is acting as their own contractor.

If you have any questions, please contact Topher Barnes in the Development Services Center.
