Same-day permit counter
Hillsboro's solar checklist says both building and electrical permits are required for solar panel systems, and that submittals are received and issued within the same day. For a reinstall we ask the permit center what the work needs, so permits do not hold up the roofer.
A 1997 median, mild climate
The median Hillsboro home was built in 1997, so many roofs are in their late 20s. Half of occupied homes (50.2 percent) are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2020-2024).
PGE and conservation districts
The city New to Hillsboro page lists PGE for electricity, so PGE is the utility we coordinate the shutdown with. The city also lists a Development Review in Conservation Districts application. If your property is in one, tell us before the roofer plans the work.
