Tips

  • The $1,100 down payment tier applies to 'New building other than single family home' — distinct from the $50 down payment for a single-family home listed in the residential-building-permit entry of this file.
  • North Logan's Road Impact Fee for commercial/industrial construction is billed per 1,000 sq. ft. and varies significantly by land use classification (e.g., Medical/Dental Office at $7,777 per 1,000 sq ft vs. Warehousing at $877 per 1,000 sq ft) — confirm the correct use classification with the Building Department before budgeting.
  • The LCIWTIF 'Non-Standard Impact Fee' for commercial/industrial connections is based on meter size and actual/projected gallons-per-day usage, not a flat per-unit fee like the residential LCIWTIF — obtain a usage estimate from Public Works before budgeting.
  • North Logan Municipal Code Title 9 (Building And Construction) does not itemize any commercial-specific building-permit sections separate from NLMC § 9-201 through § 9-206 — the same code sections and Table No. 3-A fee structure govern both residential and commercial construction.

Frequently asked questions

North Logan requires a commercial building permit for: New commercial building construction, or any structure over 200 sq. ft.; Zoning Clearance (Step 1) must be obtained first via the CivicReview portal before a Building Permit application can be submitted — North Logan's official Building Department page describes this requirement as applying to 'the construction or modification of any permanent structure' with no residential/commercial carve-out; Written application accompanied by 2 sets of plans and specifications stating the specific nature of construction, per NLMC § 9-203; Down payment of $1,100 due at application for 'New building other than single family home,' per the North Logan Master Fee Schedule's Building Permit Fees down-payment table; Soils Hazard Mitigation Plan required if the site's NRCS soils rating is 'very limited,' per NLMC § 9-206; Concrete inspection required for curb, gutter, and sidewalk work, with at least 24-hour advance notice. If your project isn't listed, confirm with North Logan City Building Department at (435) 752-1310 before starting work.

Like residential construction, North Logan's Building Permit fee for commercial construction is valuation-based under the 1997 Uniform Building Code Table No. 3-A, adjusted annually by CPI (NLMC § 9-205). A $1,100 down payment is due at application (vs. $50 for a single-family home), plus a $125 Zoning Clearance fee, a Combined Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing fee of 27.5% of the Building Permit Fee if applicable, and commercial-specific impact fees for roads (varies by land use type, e.g. $3,427–$13,887 per 1,000 sq ft), water (by meter size, up to $161,342 for a 4-inch meter), non-residential sewer (by pipe size, up to $60,274 for a 12-inch North Service Area connection), and the LCIWTIF wastewater treatment impact fee (minimum $7,786–$24,327 depending on meter size, or usage-based).

North Logan does not publish a commercial-specific plan-review timeline. The 17-business-day statutory ceiling under Utah Code § 10-20-909 that applies to this file's residential-building-permit entry is limited by statute to one- and two-family dwellings and townhomes, and does not extend to commercial construction — no comparable published figure exists for commercial projects.

You'll need: Zoning Clearance Application; Building Permit Application (CityInspect); 2 Sets of Plans and Specifications. See the required-documents checklist on this page for details on each.

North Logan requires 4 inspection(s) for a commercial building permit, in order: Site/Foundation Inspections, Concrete Inspection (Curb, Gutter, Sidewalk), Framing, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Final Inspection. Schedule each through North Logan City Building Department ((435) 752-1310).

North Logan, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — North Logan Municipal Code § 9-401 adopts 'the building codes, adopted by the State of Utah'; per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), the 2024 IBC is CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026, superseding the 2021 edition previously listed here. Because NLMC § 9-401 is a blanket cross-reference to the state's adopted edition rather than a hardcoded year, North Logan's local ordinance tracks the statute automatically — no city ordinance amendment was needed for this transition. North Logan's own Building Codes & Design Criteria page links directly to the State Adopted Codes list rather than publishing a separate local list, and states 'there are no local amendments for North Logan' (live-checked 2026-07-16, unchanged).; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide transition. Adopted per NLMC § 9-401's blanket adoption of state-adopted building codes.; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not separately itemized in NLMC Title 9, added here per statute.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — NLMC § 9-600/§ 9-701 adopts 'the Uniform Plumbing Code, currently adopted by State of Utah'; per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), the 2024 IPC is CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026, superseding the 2021 edition previously listed here (blanket cross-reference tracks the statute automatically).; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — NLMC § 9-705 adopts the mechanical code 'as adopted by State of Utah'; per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), the 2024 IMC is CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026, superseding the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — NLMC § 9-702 adopts the fuel gas code 'as adopted by the State of Utah'; per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), the 2024 IFGC is CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026, superseding the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — NLMC § 9-707 adopts the energy conservation code 'as adopted by State of Utah'; per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), the 2024 IECC is CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026, superseding the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — REMAINS CURRENT; NLMC § 9-500/§ 9-501 adopts 'the electrical code, adopted by the State of Utah'; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide transition.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized as its own section in NLMC Title 9, added here per statute since North Logan's own materials omit it (covered generally by NLMC § 9-401's blanket building-code adoption).; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized as its own section in NLMC Title 9, added here per statute since North Logan's own materials omit it.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): 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. North Logan's Building Codes & Design Criteria page (northlogancity.gov/building) was live-checked 2026-07-16: it still links generically to the state's 'State Adopted Codes' list rather than itemizing edition years itself, and still states 'there are no local amendments for North Logan' — no page-vs-statute lag was found because the page (like NLMC Title 9's own text) defers entirely to the state's current list rather than asserting specific years.. Local amendments apply — see the North Logan overview page for the full list.

North Logan's official Building Department page describes Zoning Clearance (Step 1) as required for 'the construction or modification of any permanent structure' with no stated residential/commercial distinction, so it applies to new commercial construction the same way it applies to residential. Only after Zoning Clearance is granted can the Step 2 Building Permit be requested.
