Photovoltaic (PV) System Permit in North Logan, Utah

Required for installation of a residential or commercial photovoltaic (solar) system in North Logan. Unlike a standard standalone electrical permit, PV installations follow their own documented submittal process — a dedicated Permit Application, plans emailed directly to the Building Department, and a PV System Plan Check Worksheet used to verify NEC code compliance. The underlying permit fee itself is the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee plus the 27.5% Combined Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing Permit Fee documented in this file's electrical-mechanical-plumbing-permit entry — North Logan does not publish a separate dollar-amount solar fee tier — but the application path, required worksheet, and a $50 non-refundable deposit are solar-specific and distinct from other trade permits.

Fee schedule

PV System Application DepositNorth Logan City 'Permit Process for Photovoltaic (PV) Systems' page: 'A $50.00 deposit will be required when the permit application and documents are submitted. This deposit is nonrefundable, but will be applied toward the fees calculated during permit finalization.' Sourced from a Wayback Machine archive dated 2024-02-28 (web.archive.org/web/20240228111527/https://northlogancity.org/permit-process-for-photovoltaic-pv-sytems/); the live page at this URL returns HTTP 404 as of 2026-07-19 re-check on the city's current React-based website, but the city's live Building Department page (northlogancity.gov/building, checked 2026-07-19) still lists a 'PV System Plan Check Worksheet' as a current Forms & Resources item, corroborating that PV permitting remains an active, distinct process. Re-chased 2026-07-20: independently corroborated via the CURRENT LIVE North Logan Master Fee Schedule (northlogan.municipalcodeonline.com/book?type=fees#name=Building_Permit_Fees, most recently amended by Res. 25-02 on 2/19/2025, rendered and read directly since it is a JS-rendered page a prior pass could not access) -- the schedule's 'Building Permit Fee' down-payment table lists 'All other permits: $50' (and 'Single family home: $50'), matching this figure exactly under the general down-payment category a solar/PV retrofit permit would fall into. This is now a live, current, independently-corroborating source for the $50 figure, not solely an archived one.
$50.00 (non-refundable, applied toward final fees)
Building Permit Fee + Combined Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing Permit FeePer the archived PV permit process page: 'The fees will include a building permit fee and impact fees. The amount of these fees will be calculated as part of the permit finalization process' — payment is due when the finalized permit is picked up, accepted only by check or cash. No PV-specific dollar-figure fee table is separately published; the underlying valuation-based Building Permit Fee (NLMC § 9-205) and 27.5% Combined Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing Permit Fee (North Logan Master Fee Schedule) are the applicable fees. Re-chased 2026-07-20: re-fetched the live current Master Fee Schedule directly (rendered via browser since the site is a JS-rendered civiclinq-style book) and confirmed verbatim: 'Building Permit Fee*** As established in the 1997 Uniform Building Code adjusted annually by the CPI' and 'Combined Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing Permit Fee: 27.5% of the Building Permit Fee' (both under the still-current 'Building Permit Fees' section, most recently amended 2/19/2025). Also ran a full-text search of the entire fee schedule for 'solar' -- zero results -- and read the adjacent 'Other Construction Related Permits' section in full (sidewalk/driveway/excavation/right-of-way permits only) -- confirming no dedicated PV/solar fee line exists anywhere in the current schedule. The general valuation-based mechanism is therefore confirmed as the governing fee structure, not an unverified inference.

Tips

  • Email PV plans directly to plans@northlogancity.org in PDF format — this is a distinct submittal channel from the standard CityInspect portal used for other building permits.
  • The $50 deposit is non-refundable but is credited toward your final permit fee — budget for the balance due when picking up the finalized, stamped permit.
  • North Logan only accepts check or cash for building department payments, including PV permit fees — credit cards are not accepted.
  • Keep the stamped, approved copy of your plans on site (physical or electronic) for reference during construction and inspections.
  • If your PV installation requires modification of the building or a new supporting structure, budget extra time and cost for structural engineering plans.

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.

Yes. While the underlying permit fee is the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee plus the 27.5% Combined Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing Permit Fee used for other trade work, North Logan documents a distinct PV-specific submittal process: plans are emailed directly to plans@northlogancity.org, a PV System Plan Check Worksheet must be completed to verify NEC code compliance, and a $50 non-refundable deposit is due at submittal.
