Permitting in Santa Barbara County

Each city below runs its own residential solar permitting process, verified independently. Santa Barbara County does not have one countywide process that applies the same way everywhere. Electric service in this county is split across 3 utilities (Electric Division, City of Lompoc, PG&E, SCE), so which utility applies depends on the specific city.
