Permit Rules
Every jurisdiction treats a solar removal-and-reset differently — some want one permit, some want two, some don't require one at all. SolarProjeX carries a researched answer for each, with a phone number on hand for the ones you still need to call.
A reroof means taking solar off and putting it back, and whether that needs its own permit — or two, or none — changes by county and sometimes by city inside that county. Office staff either know it from memory, or they're calling the building department again, hoping someone answers.
Permit Rules is a researched directory of removal-and-reset requirements, covering every Florida county: whether a removal permit is required, whether a separate reset permit is required, whether it's one permit or two, and whether the roofer's own final inspection has to wait on the solar permit closing. It covers PV, solar pool heat, and solar hot water — not just panels.
Every answer carries its source. Some are researched from the jurisdiction's own public website. Some come from your own office's past permit history in that county. And some are marked confirmed — a staff member called or emailed the office directly, recorded what they said, and it's saved with their name and the date, so the next person doesn't have to make the same call.
When an answer isn't known yet, the system says so plainly and opens a research item for a person to chase down — it never assumes no permit is needed just because nobody's confirmed it.
How it works
Removal, reset, one permit or two, and whether the roofer's final inspection waits on it — by jurisdiction.
All three system types are covered, not just panels bolted to a roof.
When staff calls or emails an office directly, the answer is saved as confirmed — who checked it, how, and when.
Where the answer still needs confirming, the office's contact phone is right there — no separate search.
For a lot of jurisdictions, yes — the researched or confirmed answer is already there. Where it isn't known yet, the contact phone number is right on the screen so your office can confirm it in one call.
A staff member contacted the office directly — by phone, email, or in person — and recorded what they said. It's saved with that person's name and the date, distinct from an answer researched off the office's website or inferred from your own past permit history.
Removal-and-reset for an existing system during a reroof — not general new-install permitting requirements.
No — it answers whether a permit is required for removal and for reset, whether it's one permit or two, and whether the roofer's final inspection has to wait on the solar permit. Fees and timelines aren't part of this tool.
No. It only ever surfaces an answer for a person to act on. It never changes a permit's stage and never files anything by itself.
