Codes adopted

Utah adopts construction codes statewide under Utah Code Title 15A (State Construction and Fire Codes Act), enforced by every jurisdiction. Chapter 4 of Title 15A codifies Legislature-enacted amendments for specific named jurisdictions (e.g., Park City, Salt Lake City, Sandy City) as part of the state construction code. Through June 30, 2026, the editions in force under Utah Code § 15A-2-103 are the 2021 IBC (with Appendices C and J), 2021 IRC, 2021 IPC, 2021 IMC, 2021 IFGC, 2021 IECC, 2021 IEBC, and 2021 ISPSC (residential provisions), together with the 2023 NEC. Effective July 1, 2026, § 15A-2-103 adopts the 2024 editions of the IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC, and ISPSC; the IRC remains the 2021 edition and the NEC remains the 2023 edition. Note: residential energy requirements are modified by statewide amendments, and several Utah jurisdictions document their residential energy provisions at the 2015 IECC level rather than the adopted IECC year — confirm the applicable residential energy code with your local jurisdiction. Always confirm the edition in force with your local jurisdiction.

• 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition.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• 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition
• 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition
• 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition
• 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition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.

Permit types & fees

• Residential Building Permit

  Required for new residential construction, additions, structural alterations, and work requiring plan review under Logan Municipal Code Title 15 and the adopted 2024 IBC / 2021 IRC.

  →

• Electrical Permit

  Required for electrical work including panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring, service changes, and new construction wiring in Logan. Governed by the 2023 NEC (adopted statewide by Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g)). EV charger/EVSE installation is electrical work and falls under this general Electrical Permit; Logan's Building Permit Fee Resolution (No. 20-09) does not publish an EV-specific line item, so it is billed as a standalone service change or as part of the 8%-of-building-permit electrical fee.

  →

• Plumbing Permit

  Required for plumbing installations, alterations, and repairs including water heaters, re-pipes, and fixture additions in Logan. Governed by the 2024 IPC, effective 2026-07-01 (superseded the 2021 edition).

  →

• Mechanical / HVAC Permit

  Required for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning installations, replacements, and ductwork modifications in Logan. Governed by the 2024 IMC, effective 2026-07-01 (superseded the 2021 edition).

  →

• Roofing Permit

  Required for roof replacement and re-roofing in Logan. Logan's fee schedule lists a specific flat fee for residential re-roofing.

  →

• Solar Panel Permit

  Required for installation of rooftop or ground-mounted solar photovoltaic systems in Logan. Logan's Building Permit Fee Resolution No. 20-09 charges residential solar based on project value and charges commercial solar a flat $200 (building division only, separate from any electrical permit).

  →

• Water Heater Permit

  Required for water heater installation, replacement, or conversion in Logan. Logan's fee schedule lists a specific flat fee for residential water heater permits.

  →

• Deck Permit

  Required for new deck construction or structural modification of existing decks in Logan. Fees are valuation-based per the Logan building permit fee schedule.

  →

• Basement Finish Permit

  Required for finishing or remodeling an unfinished basement in Logan, including framing, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Logan's website has a specific Residential Basement Finish Checklist.

  →

• Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Permit

  Required for construction of an accessory dwelling unit on a residential property in Logan. The building permit fee is valuation-based; zoning eligibility must be confirmed with Logan Community Development before applying.

  →

• Siding & Window Replacement Permit

  Required for complete re-siding or window replacements that change opening sizes in Logan. Logan's fee schedule lists a specific flat fee for this permit type.

  →

• Commercial Building Permit

  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.

  →

• Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit

  Required for interior remodel and tenant-finish work in existing commercial buildings in Logan — Logan's own permit records label this permit type 'Com Building Remodel/Tenant Imp.' Uses the same valuation-based Building Permit fee table as new commercial construction and residential, with the 65% commercial plan review rate, but — verified on a real issued permit — does NOT incur the utility impact/connection fees that new commercial construction does.

  →

• Sign Permit

  Required in Logan for the construction, installation, or alteration of most signs, per Logan Land Development Code Title 17.33. Re-facing an existing sign and temporary signs do not require a permit. Fee is based on the cost of the sign, applying Resolution No. 20-09's general Building Permit Fees valuation table (page 1) to the sign's project cost, plus a 65% plan review fee.

  →

• EV Charger / EVSE Permit

  Logan 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.

  →

• Fire Sprinkler System Permit

  Fire 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).

• Fire Alarm System Permit

  Fire protection and fire code enforcement in Logan is provided by the Logan City Fire Department (LCFD) Fire Prevention Bureau. Automatic fire alarm 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 'alarm only, no sprinkler' scenario — the itemized $75 Fire Alarm Plan Review and $75 Fire Alarm 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.

• Change of Use (Business License Amendment / Commercial Certificate of Occupancy)

  Logan 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.
