Arizona Solar Permit Streamlining and Net Metering

A.R.S. Section 42-11054 exempts the added value of solar energy devices from property tax assessments on residential property, applying uniformly statewide. While building permits are issued by local jurisdictions, A.R.S. Section 9-468 and related provisions encourage automated solar permitting. Arizona Corporation Commission rules govern interconnection and net billing for utility customers. These benefits apply across all Arizona municipalities and cannot be denied by local action.

Local jurisdictions improperly assessing solar value for property tax may face administrative correction; permit denial without basis may be appealable.
