Sign Permit in Unincorporated Beaver County, Utah

Beaver County Code § 9-16-1 (Chapter 16, Signs) sets dimensional standards — maximum size, minimum height, permitted zone, and type of illumination — for advertising, business, nameplate, property sale/lease/rent/trespass, public information, and temporary signs, and requires 'All signs must conform to state regulations.' As a 'structure,' erecting a sign also triggers the county's general permit requirement at Beaver County Code § 9-1-7(A) ('The construction, alteration, repair or removal of any building or structure, or any part thereof... shall not be commenced until the building inspector has issued the appropriate permit'). However, Beaver County publishes no distinct sign-permit application form, checklist, or fee line item anywhere in its materials — confirmed by direct full-text extraction of the entire 8-page 2026 Fee Schedule PDF (re-verified 2026-07-22: the BUILDING section contains only 'Building,' 'Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical/Roof,' Re-Inspection, Outside-Hours, and Red Tag Letter line items, none of which is sign-specific) and the county's Permits page (no sign form listed). Which of those general fee lines, if any, a sign application would actually be billed under is not established in any published county document — a genuine gap, not an invented fee.

Inspection process

  1. 1

    Final / Compliance Inspection

    No sign-specific inspection is published by the county. If a sign permit is processed through the general Building Permit application (the only documented pathway), a final inspection confirming the erected sign matches the approved size/height/zone/illumination table at § 9-16-1 would be expected, consistent with the final-inspection step documented for the county's other building permits — but this is inferred from the general permitting process, not confirmed by a sign-specific county document.

Tips

  • Beaver County has no distinct sign-permit application, checklist, or fee — confirm with the Building Department at (435) 438-6484 before applying whether your sign will be processed under the general Building Permit application and which fee line will apply.
  • Advertising signs are capped at 1,000 square feet maximum area regardless of the 25' x 60' dimensional table entry, per § 9-16-1, Note 2.
  • Illuminated signs (Business, Nameplate, and Public Information types all permit or require 'Indirect' illumination per the § 9-16-1 table) may also trigger the county's $75.75 Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical/Roof permit for the electrical connection — confirm scope with the Building Department.
