Do I need a permit for solar panel installation in Edgewater?

Local and county notes for Edgewater

Requirements vary between electrical-only and combined building plus electrical review. The utility interconnection agreement is separate from the permit and must be arranged with your power company. Volusia County's own permitting office is the Building and Code Administration Permit Center, reachable on 386-736-5929 at https://www.volusia.org/services/growth-and-resource-management/building-and-zoning/. It issues permits for the unincorporated county. If your city does not run its own building department, this is the office that will handle the job. Contractor licensing here is centralised across the county. Volusia County Contractor Licensing exists to provide a uniform system for regulating registered contractors in the unincorporated county and all the municipalities within Volusia County, with one stated exception, the City of Pierson. So unless you are in Pierson, your contractor's local registration runs through the county: 386-736-5929, clca@volusia.gov, 123 W Indiana Avenue Room 203, DeLand. The county lists state certified contractors under Florida Statutes Chapter 489 and licenses local specialty contractors under Volusia County Code Chapter 22, so ask which of the two your trade falls under. Edgewater permits are handled by the Edgewater Building Division (Development Services), reachable on 386-424-2400 at https://www.cityofedgewater.org/ds/page/building-and-permitting. Its online permit portal is https://egov.cityofedgewater.org:8443/WebPermits. Volusia County also issues permits for the unincorporated county, and many smaller Florida municipalities contract building services to it rather than running a department of their own, so confirm which office covers your address before you apply. Solar involves a building permit for the attachment and a separate electrical permit, plus a utility interconnection that runs outside the permit process.
