Fee schedule

Application DepositDaggett County Commercial Building Permit application confirms a nonrefundable deposit is required and credited to final plan-check total, but does not state the commercial dollar figure — contact Planning & Zoning (435-784-3218 ext. 230) to confirm. EXHAUSTIVE NEW CHASE 2026-07-23 (still unresolved): live-fetched County Code § 8-3-4.M (codelibrary.amlegal.com, HTTP 200) confirms the FINAL fee (beyond any deposit) is legally IBC-valuation-based rather than a flat figure, but the ordinance is silent on deposit amounts specifically, so it does not resolve the commercial deposit question. Targeted WebSearch for a Daggett County commercial building permit deposit/fee schedule surfaced no county-specific figure. Downloaded and checked all 45 documents in the county's '2018-2019 Ordinances & Resolutions' index (daggettcounty.gov/515) for a Board-of-County-Commissioners fee-schedule resolution (a mechanism confirmed to exist for PUD/subdivision fees per County Code § 8-7-10, 'See fee schedule established by the board of county commissioners') — most are scanned images with no extractable text layer, and the one readable resolution found (18-17) covers only Dutch John utility water/sewer rates, unrelated to building permits. The county's Conditional Use Permit Application was also checked as a parallel case and confirmed to have the same pattern (blank 'Fee ___________' field, set administratively, not published). No commercial deposit dollar figure was recoverable; remains partial.
Not separately published for commercial (residential deposit schedule is $200 accessory / $600 dwelling; commercial deposit amount not stated on the public application form)
State SurchargeConsistent with the surcharge stated on the county's residential permit packet; commercial application does not separately restate this but no evidence it differs

Tips

  • Commercial plans require sign-off from BOTH the Fire Chief and the Planning & Zoning Department before a permit is issued — budget extra time for the fire review step.
  • A complete list of contractors used must be submitted before a Certificate of Occupancy will be issued.
  • An approved inspection is required every 180 days from issuance or the permit becomes null and void, same as the residential permit.
  • Daggett County does not publish a distinct sign-permit application, fee, or process. Signs are instead regulated directly by the zoning district use tables in County Code Title 8 — for example, commercial-district "Business signs" are capped at 1 square foot of sign area per linear foot of business frontage, up to 50 square feet and no more than 3 signs per business, as flat wall or freestanding signs only. Confirm with Planning & Zoning (435-784-3143) whether a given sign requires its own building-permit-style review or is cleared administratively as part of site plan review.
  • Daggett County does not publish a distinct fire-sprinkler or fire-alarm permit, fee, or checklist. Direct inspection of the county's own Commercial Building Permit Application and Plans Checklist (fetched 2026-07-20) confirms fire protection is reviewed as part of this general commercial permit: the plans checklist requires "Fire separation, fire wall, fire barrier or any fire resistant construction detail" and "Smoke detectors and/or fire alarm locations" to be shown on the submitted plans, and the plans must be stamped by the county Fire Chief (who retains one set) before the Building Official will issue the permit. No separate sprinkler-system fee line, contractor-license requirement, or standalone application was found published by the county.
