Florida and local notes for Holly Hill
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. Holly Hill Code section 14-26 has the city issue all building and electrical permits inside city limits. The city publishes no solar-specific checklist, so confirm submittal requirements with the Building Division at 386-248-9442 before applying.
