Apply Online for a residential solar or energy storage permit.
On September 16, 2022, Senate Bill (SB) 379 was approved by California Governor Gavin Newsom to establish instantaneous plan review practices and create consistent permitting processes at cities and counties for automated permitting of residential solar and energy storage systems.
Contractors and homeowners seeking to pull permits under SB 379 will be able to apply for instantaneous plan review approval via the Symbium portal.
You may begin your application below by first verifying the address is within our city limits.
The use of the new platform is highly encouraged as it facilitates and expedites plan review and permit issuance. However, applicants seeking to apply for residential roof top systems or energy storage systems outside of the platform, or for those that are disqualified from utilizing the system, can still submit electronically by filling out the Building Permit Application and emailing it to OTCPermits@lincolnca.gov
Please note that permit processing will take approximately 1-3 business days, depending on staff availability.
