Submittal Requirements

Located below are informative documents and forms required with the building permit application. Additional documents not found on the Town of Loomis website may be requested of the applicant after submittal.

How to Submit a Building Permit Application

The building permit application, along with all project documents, can be submitted digitally via email. Hard copy submittals will not be accepted for commercial projects. Incomplete applications will also not be accepted, and corrections will be asked of the applicant before intake of any documents or before review begins.

Information to Include on Application

Under "Scope of Work", Identify...

if the solar project is Residential or Commercial
if solar system is ground mount or roof mount
the number of panels/modules
system size in AC kW
any batteries, if applicable

Digital Submittal

Digital submittals are accepted via email to building@loomis.ca.gov and jtibbits@loomis.ca.gov. Include both email addresses when submitting and place the project site address in the subject line. All digital submittals and supporting documents must have clear and crisp print, be free from stains and smudges, and be legible. Images and photo attachments will not be accepted. It is the applicant's responsibility to have all items required.

Resubmittals

If a project has correction comments after a review, a Plan Correction Letter will be sent via email to the applicant. It is important to closely follow resubmittal instructions outlined in this email. Any missing documents or unaddressed correction comments can delay the subsequent review, extending the timeline for the permit to be issued. Do not resubmit until all documents have been prepared and are ready to submit all at once. The Town will not accept partial or fragmentary resubmittals.

Notice to Contractors

All contractors performing work within the Town of Loomis must have a Town of Loomis business license. Please visit the Planning Department's business license page to learn how to obtain a Loomis business license and submit applicable fees. Building permits will not be able to be processed if a contractor does not have a Town of Loomis business license.

Authorization Letter

Please bring letter authorizing employee to sign on your behalf to obtain a building permit or business license.
