Electrical / Mechanical / Plumbing / Roofing Permit
VerifiedA single flat-fee permit category covering electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and roofing work in unincorporated Beaver County that does not rise to the level of new construction — e.g., panel upgrades, furnace/AC replacement, plumbing alterations, and reroofing beyond the county's permit-exempt threshold. Explicitly a distinct, single flat fee line item on the county's own fee schedule. EV charger/EVSE installation is electrical work (new circuit/branch circuit) and falls under this general permit category; the county's fee schedule does not publish an EV-specific line item.

Commercial Building Permit
Required for new commercial construction in unincorporated Beaver County. Beaver County publishes only ONE generic, valuation-based 'Building' permit fee line ('Determined by the Current IBC/IRC') for all building permits — there is no separate commercial dollar table, commercial plan-review percentage, plan-review deposit, or commercial-specific document checklist anywhere in the county's official Fee Schedule, Building Permit Requirements page, or Permits page. The same fee line, application process, and document set documented for the county's Residential Building Permit applies to commercial projects.

- Compliance with the state-adopted 2024 IBC (Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a))
- Evidence of an approved culinary water supply and approved waste-disposal method from the Southwest Utah Public Health Department (Beaver County Code § 9-1-7(B)) — the code section is not written as residential-only and applies to any structure
- Compliance with the additional 23-foot road-improvement setback reservation (Beaver County Code § 9-1-7(C))

- RequiredConstruction Plans and EngineeringComplete plan set. Beaver County's own materials do not publish a distinct commercial submittal checklist (e.g. stamped architect/engineer plans, soils report) the way some neighboring counties do (compare Box Elder County's dedicated 'Commercial Building Permit Submittal Required Documents' PDF) — commercial projects should expect to need stamped engineering under the state-adopted 2024 IBC even though the county does not spell this out separately.

Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit
Required for interior remodel, tenant finish, and tenant-improvement work inside existing commercial space in unincorporated Beaver County. Beaver County does not publish a distinct tenant-improvement fee category; the same generic 'Building' valuation-based fee, OR the flat $75.75 Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical/Roof fee, applies depending on the scope of work involved — the county's fee schedule does not itemize tenant improvement as its own category.

Requirements

- Compliance with the state-adopted 2024 IBC and, where trade-only work is involved, the applicable adopted mechanical/plumbing/electrical codes
- Southwest Utah Public Health Department sign-off if the scope changes water/waste usage (Beaver County Code § 9-1-7(B))
Required documents

| Electrical / Plumbing / Mechanical / Roof Permit (if the TI scope is limited to trade work only) | $75.75 | Beaver County Fee Schedule 2026, BUILDING > Permits > 'Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical/Roof' — this flat fee applies per trade permit and would be the applicable fee if a tenant-improvement project is limited to a single trade scope rather than triggering a full building permit. |

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
Beaver County does not publish a distinct EV charger / EVSE fee line item. The county's fee schedule prices all electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and roofing work under one combined flat fee ($75.75), which is the category an EV charger circuit installation would fall under, but the county has not explicitly confirmed EV charger treatment in any published document.

Solar / Solar-PV Installation Permit
VerifiedBeaver County does not publish a distinct solar or solar-PV permit type, application, checklist, or fee line item. A residential or commercial solar-PV installation in unincorporated Beaver County is processed under the same two general BUILDING-section fee lines that cover all other construction: the structural/roof-mounting scope (racking, roof penetrations, any new/altered structural support) falls under the general valuation-based Building permit ('Determined by the Current IBC/IRC'), and the electrical interconnection scope (inverter, disconnects, new circuits/panel work) falls under the flat $75.75 Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical/Roof permit — the same combined trade-permit fee documented elsewhere in this file for EV chargers. Confirmed by direct full-text extraction of all 8 pages of the county's 2026 Fee Schedule PDF (2026-07-21): no solar, photovoltaic, PV, or renewable-energy fee, form, or checklist appears anywhere in that document, the county's Permits page form list, the Building Permit Requirements page's 'Work Requiring/Not Requiring a Permit' lists, or the Fees & Payments page.
