Online Submissions for Home Installations

Overview

State law requires licensed Installers to report every home they install to the Department within 7 days from the date of installation (and 3 days from the date of installation for new installers with a provisional license) so that the installation can be inspected prior to being skirted, while the home is still accessible.

To improve the efficiency of this costly and time-consuming manual process, Form T (Notice of Installation, or NOI) submission for provisional and non-provisional license holders is available online. Installers and Retailer/Installers can submit, then print or save the required form for their customer’s home file, and pay for their installation notices online, eliminating the need to mail in the hard copy and associated fee.

Not only is this a great convenience for the license holder, who by law must submit these forms within 3 or 7 days, depending on their license, but it also enables the Department to inspect reported installations as quickly as possible, reducing the likelihood of the home being skirted or the home being inaccessible.

Submission and Payment Instructions

The online Form T collects the same information as PDF versions on other Department pages, but information in the online form is grouped differently to simplify data entry. Follow these steps to fill out, submit, and pay for installation notices online:

1. Enter your license number and license expiration date on the Login page. 
    
2. Add a new installation notice or edit existing notices that are waiting to be submitted.
3. When you are ready to submit and pay for one or more notices, check Add To Cart as needed and then click Checkout.
4. Review the list of installation notices and fees. When ready, click Continue to proceed to the payment screen.
5. Select payment method (credit card or check) and enter the required payor information.
6. After clicking Make Payment, print or save your receipt, which identifies all installation notices submitted and associated payment information.
7. Click Continue, then Previously Submitted Forms, Detail, and Preview to view and print a copy of each submitted installation notice to be placed in the customer’s file (required). 
8. All notices submitted using this system will be available for re-printing later by clicking Previously Submitted Forms.
