Relating to third-party review of property development documents and inspections of improvements related to those documents, including home backup power installations.

SB 1202 allows homeowners and third-party reviewers to bypass local regulatory authorities for reviewing development documents and conducting inspections related to home backup power systems (like generators for single- or two-family homes). It requires local authorities to post all necessary rules online or provide electronic copies within two business days, prohibits them from charging fees for these reviews, and mandates that approvals be issued within two business days of receiving notice. This directly affects homeowners installing backup power systems, third-party inspectors, and local government agencies handling such permits. The bill aims to streamline the process by reducing bureaucratic delays while ensuring third parties can rely on the authority’s posted information. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
