Fee schedule

Application Fee / DepositCounty Code § 8-3-4.A explicitly includes demolition within the general building-permit statute, and § 8-3-4.M ('Any fee charged for the issuance of building permits shall be based upon the current International Building Code as recommended therein'), live-fetched 2026-07-23 from codelibrary.amlegal.com (HTTP 200, not Wayback-only), establishes that any fee that IS charged for a Daggett County building permit is IBC-valuation-based rather than a flat county figure — but the demolition application itself requests no deposit at filing, a genuine distinction from the county's other permit forms. Verified-negative: no published demolition-specific fee or deposit requirement exists in the county's own application materials; confirm with Planning & Zoning (435-784-3218 ext. 230) whether any fee is assessed administratively at permit issuance.
None found — the Demolition Permit Application (direct PDF text extraction, re-fetched and confirmed 2026-07-23) contains no fee or deposit clause anywhere on the form, unlike every other Daggett County permit application in this dataset (residential, commercial, electrical/mechanical/plumbing, roofing/siding/window/deck, accessory), all of which state a deposit is required even where the dollar amount itself is left blank

Unincorporated Daggett County, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — legally controlling in unincorporated Daggett County per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), in force statewide since July 1, 2026 and binding on counties per § 15A-1-204. HISTORY / COUNTY LAG: Daggett County's own Commercial Building Permit plans checklist still expressly cites the long-superseded 2015 IBC by section ('Type of construction (required) IBC 2015 Chapter 6', 'Occupancy type (required) IBC 2015 Chapter 3', 'Occupant load (required) IBC 2015 Section 1004') — re-confirmed by direct PDF fetch 2026-07-16; see NOTE below.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendix AQ — legally controlling in unincorporated Daggett County per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) and (1)(c); the IRC edition was NOT changed by the July 1, 2026 statewide amendment and remains the 2021 edition. HISTORY / COUNTY LAG: Daggett County's own Residential Building Permit packet still expressly cites the long-superseded 2015 IRC ('SECTION R109 OF THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE INSPECTION DURING CONSTRUCTION', with the full R109.1 series inspection text reproduced in the county's own packet) — see NOTE below.; NOTE: Utah Code § 15A-2-103 sets the statewide-adopted baseline: the 2024 editions of the IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, and IEBC, plus the residential provisions of the 2024 ISPSC, are all currently in force statewide (effective July 1, 2026), alongside the 2021 IRC (unchanged) and 2023 NEC (unchanged). This statewide baseline binds counties as well as municipalities per § 15A-1-204. Daggett County's own public-facing permit packets (residential packet, commercial packet) still explicitly cite the 2015 IBC/IRC by section number — confirmed still true on re-check of the county's Commercial Building Permit Plans Checklist PDF on 2026-07-16, which additionally cites '2015 IMC' for mechanical design (IMC § 312) and duct sizing (IMC § 603), a pre-existing lag not previously captured here. This is analogous to other small Utah counties in this corpus (e.g., Cache, Rich) whose public materials lag the statewide-adopted edition. The statewide-adopted edition per § 15A-2-103 is the legally controlling one; Daggett County's own documentation has not been updated to reflect it.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); statewide in force (Daggett County's own permit forms do not name a specific NEC edition). Local amendments apply — see the Unincorporated Daggett County overview page for the full list.
