InstaPermit monitors Citrus Heights Building Division automatically and keeps your dashboard current 24/7. Know the moment any permit is approved, suspended, or requires corrections.
Key fact: Citrus Heights is served entirely by SMUD — not PG&E. Every solar project in Citrus Heights requires a SMUD NEM interconnection application, not PG&E. SMUD has different rates, forms, and timelines.
Citrus Heights is a suburban Sacramento County city with a large residential base of primarily 1960s–1980s single-family homes. The city's aging housing stock creates consistent demand for solar retrofits and panel replacements. SMUD's electricity rates — while generally lower than PG&E — are rising, and solar economics remain compelling for Citrus Heights homeowners looking to lock in energy costs.
Citrus Heights Building Division processes permits efficiently, with review times of 7–14 days for solar comparable to other Sacramento-area cities. Unlike most Sacramento suburbs which split SMUD/PG&E territory, Citrus Heights is served entirely by SMUD. Every solar project here uses SMUD's NEM program — not PG&E's NEM 3.0. SMUD's interconnection process is distinct from PG&E's.
