Commercial Building Permit in Logan, Utah

Required for new commercial, industrial, and multi-family building construction in Logan. Per Resolution No. 20-09, 'Commercial and Residential Building Permit fees are based on the valuation of the permit' using the same valuation table as residential — but commercial plan review, at 65% of the Building Permit Fee, is charged instead of the 0.1% residential rate, and separate utility impact/connection fees apply. Verified directly against Logan's own 'Building Permit Fee Valuation Table' and a real issued permit example for a $16,500,000 new commercial project.

Fee schedule

Building Permit Fee (valuation-based) — same table used for Residential Building PermitLogan City Building Permit Fees — Resolution No. 20-09, 'TO DETERMINE FEES': 'Commercial and Residential Building Permit fees are based on the valuation of the permit.' 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).
$1.00–$500: $50.00; $501–$2,000: $50 + $4/$100 over $500; $2,001–$25,000: $110 + $15/$1,000 over $2,000; $25,001–$50,000: $455 + $11/$1,000 over $25,000; $50,001–$100,000: $730 + $8/$1,000 over $50,000; $100,001–$500,000: $1,130 + $6.50/$1,000 over $100,000; $500,001–$1,000,000: $3,730 + $5.75/$1,000 over $500,000; over $1,000,000: $6,605 + $4.50/$1,000 over $1,000,000
Commercial Plan Check FeeResolution 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.
65% of the Building Permit Fee
Electrical / Mechanical / Plumbing Permit (each, tied to building permit)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.
8% of the Building Permit Fee, each
State SurchargeResolution 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.
1% of the combined Building Permit + Electrical + Mechanical + Plumbing Permit fees, itemized on issued permits as 'State Surcharge - City' plus 'State Surcharge - State'
Utility Impact / Connection Fees (Culinary Water, Wastewater Collection, Wastewater Treatment, Light & Power, Transportation, Water/Sewer Hookup & Tap) — new construction onlyCity 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).
Meter-size or use-based, per the city's separate Impact Fee Schedule
Fire Inspection Fee (new commercial construction)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.
$675.00 on the real $16,500,000 permit example; not published as a fixed rate in the two available fee documents
Other Inspections and Fees (after-hours, re-inspection, additional plan review)Logan City Building Permit Fees — Resolution No. 20-09, 'Other Inspections and Fees'
$50.00 per hour (2-hour minimum for after-hours or additional plan review)

Tips

  • Logan's Building Department accepts DIGITAL plans only (except under special circumstances) — submit applications and plans to loganplanreview@loganutah.gov to begin plan review.
  • Commercial Building Permit fees use the identical valuation table as residential (Resolution No. 20-09) — the difference is plan review (65% commercial vs. 0.1% residential) and the added utility impact/connection fees.
  • Utility impact and connection fees (water, sewer, wastewater treatment, Light & Power, transportation) are billed separately from the Building Permit and can be the largest cost on a new commercial project — on the real $16,500,000 example permit reviewed, impact/hookup fees alone totaled over $167,000, versus $76,355 for the Building Permit itself.
  • Logan City has its own municipal electric utility (Logan City Light & Power) — new commercial construction pays an Impact Light & Power fee based on service size/phase, separate from Rocky Mountain Power territory rules.
  • Call (435) 716-9030 or email loganplanreview@loganutah.gov to confirm current impact fee rates before budgeting, since the Impact Fee Schedule (Ordinance No. 25-01) is revised independently of the Building Permit Fee Resolution.

Frequently asked questions

The Building Permit fee itself uses the same valuation table as residential (Resolution No. 20-09): $50 minimum, scaling up to $6,605 plus $4.50 per additional $1,000 of valuation over $1,000,000.

Logan, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. NOTE (verified 2026-07-16): Logan's own 'Current Building Codes & Engineering Design Requirements' document is dated 'Effective July 2023' / 'Updated: 07/2023' and still lists the 2021 IBC — it has not been updated for the 7/1/2026 code cycle.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); unchanged by the 7/1/2026 code cycle; Logan's own (stale, July 2023) codes document also lists this edition; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); unchanged by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. Logan's own codes document (July 2023) lists a '2020 National Electrical Code' — this was already stale before this fix and remains so; the statewide 2023 NEC governs.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. NOTE: no IEBC line previously existed in this file's codesAdopted entry or in Logan's own codes document; added here directly from the statute for completeness.; 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), residential provisions — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. NOTE: no ISPSC line previously existed in this file's codesAdopted entry or in Logan's own codes document; added here directly from the statute for completeness.; 2017 ICC A117.1 (Accessibility) — Logan City 'Current Building Codes & Engineering Design Requirements' (dated Effective July 2023 / Updated 07/2023); NOTE (verified 2026-07-16): The 2024 editions of IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC, and ISPSC took effect 2026-07-01 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103, superseding the 2021 editions that governed through 2026-06-30. The 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC were NOT changed by this cycle. Confirmed directly against the version of § 15A-2-103 effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) at le.utah.gov. Logan's own codes document (loganutah.org/departments/comdev/building/Current%20Building%20Codes%202023.pdf) was fetched live and confirmed stale — dated 'Effective July 2023' / 'Updated: 07/2023', listing 2021 IBC/IRC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/IECC and a '2020 National Electrical Code' (itself outdated even relative to the pre-7/1/2026 baseline); it has not been revised for either the 2023 NEC correction or the 7/1/2026 code cycle.. Local amendments apply — see the Logan overview page for the full list.

The base Building Permit Fee valuation table is identical for commercial and residential per Resolution No. 20-09. However, commercial plan review is charged at 65% of the Building Permit fee versus 0.1% of valuation for residential, and new commercial construction also incurs separate utility impact/connection fees that residential remodels typically do not (though new residential construction has its own impact fees too — see the Impact Fee schedule).
