Sign Permit in Price, Utah
Required for erecting, reconstructing, or remodeling most signs in Price City, per Chapter 4 (Sign Regulations / Sign Code) of the Price City Land Use Development and Management Code, § 4.9 (Sign Permit and Permit Fee Required). Applications go to the Zoning Administrator, who must issue the permit within 60 days of receipt if the proposed sign complies with the code. PermitBase could not locate the specific dollar fee amount in any Price City fee schedule published online — the code states only that the fee is 'established by resolution of the City Council' and identified in 'the approved fee schedule of Price City'; Price's own online Planning and Zoning Permit Fee Schedule (effective 1-1-2026) covers subdivision, rezoning, and conditional-use fees but does not list a sign line item, and no separate building-permit fee schedule with a sign line item was found on either priceutah.gov or Carbon County's building-permit pages (Price contracts building inspection to Carbon County).

Price City Land Use Development and Management Code (2026 edition) § 4.9: 'Application for a sign permit shall be made to the Zoning Administrator and shall be accompanied by a fee identified in the approved fee schedule of Price City to defray the expenses to Price City incurred in the administration of this chapter. Such fee shall be established by resolution of the City Council.' The city's online 'Planning and Zoning Permit Fee Schedule' (effective 1-1-2026) lists subdivision, rezoning, conditional-use, and similar planning fees but no sign line item. The fee-setting chapter that the Land Use code's 'approved fee schedule of Price City' language points to is Price City Municipal Code Title 3 Revenue and Finance, Chapter 3.24 'Administrative Service And Operational Fees' (codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/priceut/latest/price_ut/0-0-0-1089), which is where the current sign permit dollar figure sits. Chapter 3.24's rates were adopted by 'RESOLUTION 2014-11. Setting forth the rates and charges for administrative service and operational fees to the general public,' approved at the City Council's 4/9/2014 meeting per the Council minutes on priceutah.gov; the resolution's fee-table exhibit itself is not published online.

Neither Price City's FY2027 Approved Budget (priceutah.gov/uploads/1/1/9/7/119716550/2027_fiscal_year_approved_budget.pdf), which reports only an aggregate 'LICENSES & PERMITS' revenue-category total ($92,350/$90,000) with no itemized fee schedule, nor the City's 2026 Business License Application, which lists no dollar amounts beyond a reference to 'applicable licensing fees', states the sign permit fee. For the current figure, read Chapter 3.24 in a web browser or contact Price City — the City Recorder's office can provide the Chapter 3.24 fee table.Price City Land Use Development and Management Code § 4.10: a re-inspection fee is charged to defray re-inspection costs after a notice of violation, 'for each inspection required until compliance...

Tips
- Price City's Land Use Development and Management Code § 4.9 sets a hard issuance deadline: the Zoning Administrator must issue a compliant sign permit within 60 days of receiving the application.
- PermitBase could not confirm the actual dollar fee for a Price City sign permit from any published source — the ordinance points to a Council-set fee schedule that doesn't appear to be published online with a sign line item. Confirm the fee directly with Price City Planning & Zoning before budgeting.
- Some sign types and activities are exempt from the permit requirement entirely, including small temporary on-premise signs (≤14 days), real estate 'for sale'/'for rent' signs, temporary election/yard-sale signs, interior signs, and construction signs (≤45 sq ft, up for 10 days pre-construction to 1 day post-completion) — see § 4.5.9 for the full exemption list.
- Price contracts its building permit review and inspection to Carbon County (carbon.utah.gov) — but the Sign Permit itself is administered by the Price City Zoning Administrator per the city's own Land Use code, not by the county.
- Sign regulations vary by overlay district: S-1 (Residential), S-2 (Downtown/Shopping Centers), S-3 (Arterial/State Highways) — confirm which district your site falls in before designing a sign.
