EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Brigham City, Utah

Brigham City does not issue separate trade permits (electrical, plumbing, mechanical) and has no distinct "EV Charger" or "EVSE" fee line item. Its official Fee Schedule (posted by the Brigham City Council) prices all permitted work — including electrical — purely by project market valuation through a single Building Permit fee table (e.g., a $300,000 valuation residential project yields a $2,249.93 building permit fee plus plan review and 1% state fee). A full-text review of the fee schedule and Brigham City's permit-fee explanation document found no mention of "EV," "EVSE," "electric vehicle," or "charging station." An EV charger installation would be permitted and priced under this same valuation-based Building Permit fee table, using the building official's assigned market value for the work, rather than any dedicated EV category.

Brigham City, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition that Brigham City's own official 'Design Criteria for Buildings and Structures Located within Brigham City Limits' document (dated 7/25/2023) still cited as of live re-fetch 2026-07-16 (2021 IBC Section 1803 soils reports, Section 1613.2.2 Site Class, Table 1806.2 and Table 1610.1 bearing pressures) — the document has not been updated to reflect the 2024 edition.; Utah Title 15A statewide amendments apply on top of the base ICC codes per state law; Brigham City's official Design Criteria document references the Utah-amended ground snow load calculation methodology (previously cited to Utah Code § 15A-3-107, which governs statewide amendments) directly. Construction-code editions themselves are governed by § 15A-2-103, not § 15A-3-107.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT, Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment. Brigham City's own 'Single Family Dwelling Building Permit Submittal Requirements' and Roof Building Paper Requirements handouts instead cite the 2015 IRC/IECC by name for specific engineering/energy-compliance documentation — a pre-existing discrepancy independent of the 2026 code-cycle transition (these handouts were already citing an older cycle than the state's 2021 IRC baseline before 7/1/2026, and remain unrevised as of 2026-07-16). Reproduced here exactly as currently published by the city; the current statewide-governing IRC edition is 2021, not 2015.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC), 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC), 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC, single unsplit statewide edition), 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), and the residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — all CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d)/(e)/(f)/(h)/(i)/(n). None are separately itemized in Brigham City's own published Design Criteria document, submittal-requirement handouts, or Building Permits and Inspections page; added here per statute since Brigham City's own materials omit them (the 2015 IECC cited in the city's Roof Building Paper Requirements handout is likewise superseded, per the IRC entry above).; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); REMAINS CURRENT, unchanged by the 7/1/2026 amendment. Not separately itemized in Brigham City's own published materials; added here per statute.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. Brigham City's Design Criteria for Buildings and Structures document (the sole cited source for Brigham City's IBC edition) was live re-fetched 2026-07-16 and IS STILL LAGGING — it references 2021 IBC sections throughout with no indication of a later revision date than 7/25/2023. No newer Brigham City-specific code-adoption publication was found on bcutah.gov. The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 citation has been added to the sources array below, pointing to the current in-force version link.. Local amendments apply — see the Brigham City overview page for the full list.
