Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a solar permit take in City of Denton?

Does City of Denton support SolarAPP+ for instant permitting?
City of Denton does not use SolarAPP+. Texas contractors can use the independent SB1202 third-party plan review and inspection pathway to move around standard municipal review backlogs.
Who handles the solar interconnection queue in City of Denton?
Grid interconnection, net-metering, and final Permission to Operate (PTO) are handled by Denton Municipal Electric, on a separate administrative queue from the City of Denton building-department permit process. Projects often stall in the gap between permit approval and utility PTO.
