Solar in Sunrise
Sunrise’s stored Building Division schedule effective October 1, 2025 includes a residential solar row, but its application and permit columns need clarification before estimating a total. The schedule says flat fees are adjusted each October 1, so ask the Building Division for the current rate and how any application fee is credited. The Building Division is at 10770 W. Oakland Park Boulevard, on (954) 572-2354. It is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with Wednesday morning set aside as Professional Day for walk-in plan review.
Online applications start at sunrisefl.gov/openforbusiness. Where Sunrise stands in the ACS: 68.8 percent of occupied homes held by owner-occupants and a median owner-occupied dwelling value of $354,500. In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (Broward County), Sunrise falls under the code's stricter product-approval rules.
What solar costs near Sunrise
We haven't collected solar quotes from Sunrise, so this page gives no city price. The statewide estimates are on each service page, and the Michigan page lists them with what solar installers are paid ($24.30 an hour in BLS data for May 2025, which is pay, not price), the printed city permit fees and the utility application fees. How we estimate costs.
Licenses and permits for solar in Sunrise
MCL 339.5737(1) requires a license for the business of electrical contracting, and the Act's definition of electrical wiring covers generating equipment, so ask the installer for its electrical contractor license number. The utility's interconnection application is a separate filing from the city permit.
