Spring Valley's generator permit requirements.
Four feet from every property line
The city's general information sheet for generator permitting says a generator must be four feet from any property line. We measure from each line on your survey and pick a spot that also suits your gas service, your electrical panel and the house next door.
Five feet from operable windows
The survey submitted with the permit must carry a note stating that the generator will not be installed within five feet of any operable window. We mark the windows on that side of the house before choosing the pad location, and we follow the manufacturer's clearances as well.
Three applications for one project
A complete generator project in Spring Valley Village uses three applications: the miscellaneous residential application for the generator and slab, an electrical permit application, and a plumbing permit application for the gas line. The generator permit includes a survey, the location with distances, and the specifications for the unit being installed.
Insurance and licenses on each application
Each application needs a certificate of insurance listing the city as certificate holder, and the electrical and plumbing permits each need a copy of the contractor's state license. Applications go in through the city's permit portal, and the city logs generator installs as electrical permits in its monthly permit lists.
