Fee schedule

Application DepositConfirmed by direct PDF text extraction of the application (re-fetched and independently re-verified 2026-07-23 — genuine embedded text layer, not a scanned form). County Code § 8-3-4.M ('Fees: Any fee charged for the issuance of building permits shall be based upon the current International Building Code as recommended therein'), fetched LIVE 2026-07-23 from codelibrary.amlegal.com (HTTP 200, not Wayback-only), is the governing legal provision — it confirms Daggett County's building-permit fee mechanism is legally pegged to IBC valuation tables rather than an independently published flat dollar figure, the same treatment already used for the residential and commercial building permit 'Final Permit Fee' lines elsewhere in this dataset. Verified-negative: no separate, county-published electrical/mechanical/plumbing fee schedule exists; contact Planning & Zoning (435-784-3218 ext. 230) for a project-specific quote.
Required, but no dollar figure published — the county's own Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing Building Permit Application states only 'Deposit amount paid at the time of application is nonrefundable but will be credited towards the final [cost]', with no number filled in or printed anywhere on the form
State SurchargeConsistent with the surcharge stated on the county's residential permit packet and applied county-wide to every other Daggett County permit type in this dataset; not separately restated on the electrical/mechanical/plumbing application but no evidence it differs.

Tips

  • This permit covers electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work under one combined county application — check the applicable box(es) for the type(s) of work being done.
  • Homeowners may self-perform electrical/mechanical/plumbing work on their own residence but must still list themselves as 'SELF' and pass inspection. Owner-builder
  • A home EV charger install (new circuit) is covered under this combined Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing Permit — check the 'Electrical' box on the application. The county does not publish a distinct EV-charger permit or fee.
  • Solar panel (PV) installations are not listed among the roughly 20 permit application forms on the county's Applications page (re-checked 2026-07-19) — the electrical interconnection scope falls under this combined Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing Permit (check the 'Electrical' box), while any new roof or ground-mount racking structure would separately fall under the Residential Building Permit or the Accessory/Outbuilding Building Permit, depending on scope and whether the mount exceeds 200 sq ft. Daggett County publishes no distinct solar permit application, checklist, or fee line item; confirm the exact permit path with Planning & Zoning, 435-784-3218 ext. 230, before applying.

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.
