Delran council adopts tiered permit fees for photovoltaic systems
Summary
The Delran Township Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2025-19 on Nov. 10, 2025, amending Chapter 150 to set tiered permit fees for photovoltaic systems based on panel-count ranges and separate charges for associated equipment.
The Delran Township Council voted unanimously Nov. 10 to adopt Ordinance 2025-19, which amends Chapter 150, Section 6(A)(2) of the township code to establish tiered permit fees for photovoltaic (PV) systems.
The ordinance text specifies that fees are "based on all equipment installed separately, PV Panels, Disconnects, Invertors, Batteries, Transfer Switches," and sets example tiers including "$100.00" for 1–25 panels, "$500.00" for 101–500 panels, and "$1,000.00" for each 1,000 panels. Mrs. Apeadu moved to adopt the ordinance on second reading; Mr. Morrow seconded. The roll call vote recorded Mr. Morrow, Mrs. Apeadu, Mr. Jeney and Mr. Lyon voting aye (Ayes:4, Nays:None).
Township officials did not expand on administrative implementation during the meeting; the ordinance states it "shall take effect immediately upon passage and publication according to law." The change replaces subheading (m) in Chapter 150 and leaves other provisions of Section 6 unchanged. The record does not specify permit processing timelines or fee billing mechanics beyond the schedule in the ordinance text.
Next steps: the ordinance became effective on passage per the text, and residents or contractors seeking permits should consult the township clerk's office or the township website for application procedures and fee details.
