Permits you’ll need
Arlington streamlined solar to a single permit (instead of separate building and electrical permits). Both a Building Final and an Electrical Final inspection close it out.
How to submit
Apply online through Arlington’s Accela permits portal. Your installer needs active New Home Builder/Remodeler and Electrical Contractor registrations with the city (solar contractor registration updated March 2024).
Fees & timeline
Fees vary by system; confirm current amounts with Planning & Development Services (817-459-6502).
Outside city limits
In unincorporated Tarrant County or a neighboring DFW city, you permit through that jurisdiction instead.
