Verified against a real issued permit for a New Commercial project (PV $16,500,000): Building Permit charge was $76,355.00, which exactly matches $6,605 + ($15,500,000/$1,000 × $4.50). |
| Commercial Plan Check Fee | 65% of the Building Permit Fee | Resolution No. 20-09, 'Plan Review Fees': 'All other Commercial, Industrial, Multi-family plan review fees shall be calculated at 65% of Building Permit Fee.' Logan's own 'Building Permit Fee Valuation Table' (Permit Fees Table.pdf) lists a precomputed 'Commercial Plan Check Fee' column equal to 65% of the Building Permit Fee at every valuation (e.g., $80,000 valuation row: Building Permit $970.00, Commercial Plan Check Fee $630.50). The real $16,500,000 New Commercial permit example billed 'Plan Check Commercial (Additional)' of $49,630.75 — exactly 65% of its $76,355.00 Building Permit charge. |
| Electrical / Mechanical / Plumbing Permit (each, tied to building permit) | 8% of the Building Permit Fee, each | Resolution No. 20-09: 'Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing Permit Fee shall be calculated at 8% of Building Permit Fee.' Verified on the real $16,500,000 New Commercial permit: Electrical Permit, Mechanical Permit, and Plumbing Permit each charged $6,108.40 — exactly 8% of the $76,355.00 Building Permit fee. |
| State Surcharge | 1% of the combined Building Permit + Electrical + Mechanical + Plumbing Permit fees, itemized on issued permits as 'State Surcharge - City' plus 'State Surcharge - State' | Resolution No. 20-09: 'The state adds an extra 1% surcharge fee.' Reverse-engineered from the real $16,500,000 New Commercial permit: 'State Surcharge - City' $142.02 + 'State Surcharge - State' $804.78 = $946.80 total, which is exactly 1% of Building Permit ($76,355.00) + Electrical + Mechanical + Plumbing ($6,108.40 × 3) = $94,680.20. |
| Utility Impact / Connection Fees (Culinary Water, Wastewater Collection, Wastewater Treatment, Light & Power, Transportation, Water/Sewer Hookup & Tap) — new construction only | Meter-size or use-based, per the city's separate Impact Fee Schedule | City of Logan, Utah Impact Fee Schedule, Ordinance No. 25-01, effective February 18, 2025 — lists per-meter fees, e.g. Culinary Water 4" Compound Meter $34,398 per ERC, Wastewater Treatment 4" Compound Meter $24,327 minimum. Confirmed as real and substantial on the $16,500,000 New Commercial permit example: that single permit billed $9,172 + $34,398 (Culinary Water), $44,517 (Light & Power), $34,081.54 (Transportation), $2,030 (Wastewater Collection), $41,410.65 (Wastewater Treatment), plus separate water/sewer hookup and tap fees — these are additional to and separate from the Building Permit/Plan Check/MEP fees above and are NOT charged on tenant-improvement-only permits (see Commercial Tenant Improvement entry). |
| Fire Inspection Fee (new commercial construction) | $675.00 on the real $16,500,000 permit example; not published as a fixed rate in the two available fee documents | Observed as a real line item ('Fire Inspection Fee $675.00') on the issued $16,500,000 New Commercial permit; Logan's Resolution No. 20-09 and Permit Fees Table.pdf do not separately publish a Fire Inspection Fee schedule, so this figure is reported as observed on one real permit, not as a guaranteed flat rate for all projects. |
| Other Inspections and Fees (after-hours, re-inspection, additional plan review) | $50.00 per hour (2-hour minimum for after-hours or additional plan review) | Logan City Building Permit Fees — Resolution No. 20-09, 'Other Inspections and Fees' |

| Sign Permit Fee | Uses the same valuation-based Building Permit Fees table as all other Logan building permits, applied to the sign's cost | Re-verified 2026-07-20 directly against the live Resolution No. 20-09 PDF (loganutah.org/departments/comdev/building/Bldg%20Permit%20Fee%20Resolution%202020.pdf), rendered to image and read visually since pdftotext's column extraction jumbles this table. Page 2's 'Other and Miscellaneous Permits Fees' list explicitly reads 'Sign Permit ... Based on Project Value' (same wording used for 'Solar Permit (Commercial-Building Division Only)' in the row above it), which ties back to the general 'Building Permit Fees' valuation table on page 1 of the same resolution: $50.00 for value $1-$500; $50.00 for the first $500 + $4.00 per additional $100 to $2,000; $110.00 for the first $2,000 + $15.00 per additional $1,000 to $25,000; $455.00 for the first $25,000 + $11.00 per additional $1,000 to $50,000; $730.00 for the first $50,000 + $8.00 per additional $1,000 to $100,000; $1,130.00 for the first $100,000 + $6.50 per additional $1,000 to $500,000; $3,730.00 for the first $500,000 + $5.75 per additional $1,000 to $1,000,000; $6,605.00 for the first $1,000,000 + $4.50 per additional $1,000 above that. A 1% state surcharge applies on top per the resolution's cover instructions. |
| Plan Review Fee (Sign Permit) | 65% of the Sign Permit fee (commercial/non-dwelling plan review rate) | Resolution No. 20-09, page 2, 'Plan Review Fees': 'All other Commercial, Industrial, Multi-family plan review fees shall be calculated at 65% of Building Permit Fee.' Signs are not One- and Two-Family Dwellings, so they fall under this 65% rate rather than the 0.1%-of-valuation residential rate. |
EV Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedLogan does not publish a distinct EV-charger fee line item. Per Logan City's Building Permit Fees (Resolution No. 20-09), installing an EV charger (EVSE) is electrical work and is billed under the city's general Electrical Permit — either as a standalone residential Electrical Service Change Permit or, if tied to a new-construction/remodel building permit, at 8% of the Building Permit Fee.

Requirements
- Installation of a Level 2 or DC fast EV charger (EVSE) at a residential or commercial property
- New dedicated circuit and/or panel/service capacity to serve the charger
- Compliance with the 2023 NEC, adopted statewide by Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g)
Required documents

Fire Sprinkler System Permit
VerifiedFire protection and fire code enforcement in Logan is provided by the Logan City Fire Department (LCFD) Fire Prevention Bureau, not the Building Department. Automatic fire sprinkler system plan review and inspection is charged under City of Logan Resolution No. 23-14, 'A Resolution Adopting Fire Prevention Inspection Fees' (adopted by the Logan Municipal Council in 2023, in effect as of its passage date). Read directly from the resolution's own attached Fire Department Fee Schedule (fetched and read as a raw PDF on 2026-07-21, not summarized): the schedule gives only two combined project scenarios — 'New Construction/Tenant Improvements without fire sprinklers or fire alarm' ($75 general plan review + $75 final inspection = $150 total) and 'New Construction/Tenant Improvements with fire sprinklers and fire alarms' ($75 general plan review + $75 fire alarm plan review + $75 fire sprinkler plan review + $75 fire alarm rough-install inspection + $75 fire sprinkler rough-install inspection + $150 final inspection [24-hour test, 2 visits] = $525 total, rising to $675 if a kitchen hood suppression system is also involved). The schedule does not publish a stand-alone 'sprinkler only, no alarm' scenario — the itemized $75 Fire Sprinkler Plan Review and $75 Fire Sprinkler Rough-Install Inspection line items are confirmed as distinct charges within that combined schedule, and every project also incurs the shared $75 General Plan Review plus a $75-$150 Final Inspection charge regardless of which specific systems are involved. Plans for systems requiring third-party review must first go to an LCFD-approved private review firm before LCFD grants final approval, per LCFD's own Third-Party Fire Plan Review Services page (fetched directly, not the North Logan mirror).

Change of Use (Business License Amendment / Commercial Certificate of Occupancy)
VerifiedLogan City does not publish a single, distinctly-named 'Change of Use Permit' product. Two genuinely distinct, independently-verified mechanisms operationalize change-of-use review: (1) a Business License Application marked 'Amendment' with the 'Location' and/or 'Business description' boxes checked — confirmed directly on Logan's own official Business License Application form (Division of Business Licensing, 290 N 100 W), which requires disclosure of the 'Previous use of location' (Section II) and 'Previous Business Location' (Section V, Amendment) and states 'Decisions on applications will take 15 business days (minimum)'; and (2) for commercial buildings/tenant spaces, a Commercial Certificate of Occupancy ('Gold Card') sign-off — confirmed directly on Logan's own 'Requirements for a Certificate of Occupancy' form — requiring sign-off from Pre-treatment (Jim Harps), Backflow hazard assessment (Jesse Sharp), the Fire Marshal (fire suppression/alarm and final inspection, Craig Humphreys), Public Works (water/sewer, curb/gutter, storm water, parking, access), Planning/Zoning (conformance to the Design Review Record of Decision, landscaping), and Special Inspection & Testing, before the Building Inspector's final; the form states 'No structure shall be occupied until issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy' and that the Certificate 'will be issued within three (3) working days from the date this completed notice is received' once all department sign-offs are complete. Occupying a structure without a Certificate of Occupancy is stated on the form to be subject to a criminal citation under Logan City Code 15.04.06 and remedies under Title 17 Chapter 60 (Administrative Enforcement Code), with utilities subject to disconnection. Directly verified on Logan's own Business Licensing Fees page (raw HTML table read on 2026-07-21, not AI-summarized): the 'Change Location' business-license amendment itself carries no separate fee (listed as '-' in the Amendments and Transfers fee table); a license-category change instead triggers the standard tiered fee. Where a change of use requires construction to accommodate the new occupancy, that construction is billed under this file's commercial-building-permit or commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entries and is not duplicated here. Separately, Utah's statewide-adopted 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC, effective 2026-07-01, per this file's codesAdopted) contains its own Chapter 10 'Change of Occupancy' provisions governing compliance upgrades triggered by a more intensive occupancy classification, though Logan's own Building Department page does not independently republish IEBC Chapter 10's text.
