Where are permit records stored and how does SolarAPP+ respond to public records requests?

To meet public records retention requirements, AHJs will need to maintain records of approved plans or permits issued through SolarAPP+ into their own record keeping processes. In AHJs that have adopted the Standalone model, copies of the permit and associated documentation for each project approval are emailed to the jurisdiction upon from SolarAPP+ for record keeping. In the GovTech model, the contractor inputs the SolarAPP+ approval documents into the AHJ’s permitting software, where records are retained and may be accessed for public records requests.
