Residential Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new single-family residential construction and any work regulated by the adopted 2021 IRC / 2024 IBC in Nibley. Nibley issues its own building permits independently of Cache County (confirmed via the county's own Building Division page, which lists Nibley among cities that 'issue their own permits'). Fees are valuation-based per Nibley's Consolidated Fee Schedule, using the same IRC-derived formula structure as the statewide model fee schedule.

Commercial Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new commercial and industrial construction in Nibley, regulated by the adopted 2024 International Building Code (per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective July 1, 2026). Nibley's official Building Department page states general submittal requirements without a residential/commercial distinction, and the Nibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule uses a single generic 'Building Permit Fee' valuation table (unlike some cities, this table is not separately labeled 'Commercial/Residential,' but nothing on the fee schedule or Building Department page restricts it to residential use). Commercial projects additionally trigger Development Services fees not applicable to single-family residential permits: a Commercial Site Plan Review Fee, a Public Works Inspection Fee for Commercial Development, a commercial-rate Stormwater Inspection Fee, use-specific Transportation Impact Fees, and a Commercial & Industrial Business License.

Sq. Ft., minimum $900 per building, maximum $3600 per building.' The identical wording also appears on page 6 of the intervening 2025-2026 edition (approved 1-30-2026), so the increase predates FY2026-27 and the figure we published had been stale since at least January 2026.

The 2025-2026 edition (page 6, also rendered) already listed $100.00; the $50.00 we published came from the superseded FY2024-2025 edition and was already inconsistent with this file's own change-of-use-permit entry.

Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit
VerifiedRequired for interior remodel/tenant finish work in an existing commercial building in Nibley — e.g., a new tenant finishing out shell space, or an existing tenant remodeling — regulated by the adopted 2024 IBC and, for existing buildings, the 2024 International Existing Building Code (per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i)). Nibley does not publish a standalone tenant-improvement fee schedule; the same generic valuation-based Building Permit Fee table used for new construction applies, based on the value of the tenant-improvement work. Nibley's Planning & Zoning page states directly that impact fees — which represent the largest cost component of a new commercial building permit — are 'not charged for remodels, accessory buildings or additions, unless the addition is large enough to necessitate changing the size of the water meter,' meaning most tenant-improvement projects owe only the building permit fee, plan review fee, and any required business license, not the full impact-fee stack.

VerifiedNibley regulates permitted signs under City Code (NCC) 19.24.150, which requires a building permit for most sign types (per the code's Table of Permitted Signs) and a separate, Planning Commission-reviewed EMD Sign Permit for any Electronic Message Display sign.
Verified 2026-08-16 · Source

- All sign bases, foundations, or supporting apparatus must be set back at least ten (10) feet from the property line
- Electronic Message Display (EMD) signs require a separate EMD Sign Permit, issued only after Planning Commission review

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
Nibley's Consolidated Fee Schedule does not publish a distinct EV-charger fee line item, and the city has no general electrical-permit category — only the valuation-based Building Permit fee, a 0.1% Plan Review Fee, and a $50 Reinspection Fee. The current FY2026-27 Consolidated Fee Schedule (public copy dated 8-6-2026) contains no occurrence of 'EV' as a standalone word, 'electric vehicle,' 'charging station,' or 'EVSE,' and no separate standalone electrical-trade fee line item (unlike neighboring Cache County cities such as Logan or Millcreek). The city has not published how EV charger installs are billed, so treat the analogue fees below as an analogue only — the city has not stated that they apply to EV work. Confirm with Nibley before pricing one.

Requirements
- Installation of a Level 2 or DC fast EV charger (EVSE) at a residential or commercial property
- Nibley uses the ICC codes as amended by the State of Utah (2023 NEC electrical code, adopted statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g))
- Confirm applicable fee category directly with the Building Department before applying, since no EV-specific or general electrical-permit line item is published

Solar / Solar PV Installation Permit
VerifiedNibley does not publish a distinct solar or solar-PV permit type or fee. A full-text search of both the 2024 Consolidated Fee Schedule and the current 2025-2026 Consolidated Fee Schedule (approved 1-30-2026) found zero mentions of 'solar' or 'photovoltaic' in either document, and Nibley's official Building Department and Planning & Zoning pages likewise contain no solar-specific application, ordinance, or requirement. Rooftop or ground-mounted solar-PV installations are therefore permitted and charged through the same generic valuation-based Building Permit used for all other construction, consistent with the fact that Nibley has no standalone electrical-trade permit fee line either.

Fire Sprinkler System Permit
Nibley's Consolidated Fee Schedule (current FY2026-27 edition, public copy dated 8-6-2026, full text searched directly on 2026-08-16, as well as the two superseded editions before it) contains no 'sprinkler' fee line item of any kind, and Nibley's Building Department and Planning & Zoning pages do not publish a separate fire-sprinkler application or checklist. Fire-code plan review for buildings, roads, and developments in Nibley is instead provided under an intergovernmental agreement with the Cache County Fire District, per Nibley's own 2020 Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan (CWPP): 'Nibley City also has an agreement with Cache County Fire to help provide plan reviews for buildings, roads, and developments to ensure future developments, streets and roads meet fire code' (fire suppression response itself is separately contracted to Hyrum City). The Cache County Fire District DOES publish its own fee schedule, and it has now been retrieved (2026-08-16): 'Cache County Fire District — Fee Schedule (Effective 2026)' charges New Construction (without Sprinklers or Fire Alarm) $130 and New Construction (with Sprinklers and Fire Alarm) $390, plus $65 per New Business License Inspection, $65 first re-inspection and $100 second re-inspection, and $65.00/hour for unlisted services. That schedule is published as a single inline base64-encoded PNG image inside the page HTML, which is why an earlier text-based fetch of the same URL saw only the heading 'Fee Schedule' and was wrongly recorded here as the district publishing no fee content. What still cannot be established is whether a standalone fire-sprinkler installation in Nibley is routed through the district's New Construction inspection fee and, if so, at which tier. Absent a published distinct fee, sprinkler system installations are permitted through Nibley's standard valuation-based Building Permit, which is a genuinely governing fee for this work, plus the Business Licenses & Fees section's flat Fire Marshall Inspection Fee, which rose from $45.00 to $65.00 in the FY2026-27 edition and is now qualified '(Rate set by the County)'.
