Codes adopted

Utah adopts construction codes statewide under Utah Code Title 15A (State Construction and Fire Codes Act), enforced by every jurisdiction. Chapter 4 of Title 15A codifies Legislature-enacted amendments for specific named jurisdictions (e.g., Park City, Salt Lake City, Sandy City) as part of the state construction code. Through June 30, 2026, the editions in force under Utah Code § 15A-2-103 are the 2021 IBC (with Appendices C and J), 2021 IRC, 2021 IPC, 2021 IMC, 2021 IFGC, 2021 IECC, 2021 IEBC, and 2021 ISPSC (residential provisions), together with the 2023 NEC. Effective July 1, 2026, § 15A-2-103 adopts the 2024 editions of the IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC, and ISPSC; the IRC remains the 2021 edition and the NEC remains the 2023 edition. Note: residential energy requirements are modified by statewide amendments, and several Utah jurisdictions document their residential energy provisions at the 2015 IECC level rather than the adopted IECC year — confirm the applicable residential energy code with your local jurisdiction. Always confirm the edition in force with your local jurisdiction.

• 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition CMC § 10.03.020 still codifies as of live re-check 2026-07-16 (adopted by Ord. 2017-03 4/4/2017, amended by Ord. 2019-18 8/6/2019, most recently amended by Ord. 2025-04 4/1/2025 — none of which updated the edition year to 2024). Centerville's own municipal code has not yet been amended to reflect the 7/1/2026 transition.
• 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendices AE and AQ, plus the residential provisions of Chapter 11 (Energy Efficiency) of the 2015 IRC edition (subject to Utah Code § 15A-2-104) — REMAINS CURRENT, Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c) did not change the base IRC edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment; CMC § 10.03.030 (last amended by Ord. 2025-04, 4/1/2025) is correct on this point.
• 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); supersedes the 2021 edition CMC § 10.03.040 still codifies as of live re-check 2026-07-16 (last amended by Ord. 2025-04, 4/1/2025).
• 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition CMC § 10.03.050 still codifies as of live re-check 2026-07-16 (last amended by Ord. 2025-04, 4/1/2025).
• 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); supersedes the 2021 edition CMC § 10.03.060 still codifies as of live re-check 2026-07-16 (last amended by Ord. 2025-04, 4/1/2025).
• 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — REMAINS CURRENT, Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment. CMC § 10.03.070 (adopted by Ord. 2017-03, amended by Ord. 2018-16 6/19/2018, amended by Ord. 2025-04, and MOST RECENTLY amended by Ord. 2026-03 on 3/3/2026 — Centerville's most recently touched construction-code chapter) is correct and confirms the 2023 edition, consistent with statute.
• 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); supersedes the 2021 edition CMC § 10.03.080 still codifies as of live re-check 2026-07-16 (last amended by Ord. 2025-04, 4/1/2025).
• 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); supersedes the 2021 edition CMC § 10.03.085 still codifies as of live re-check 2026-07-16 (last amended by Ord. 2025-04, 4/1/2025).
• Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); supersedes the 2021 edition CMC § 10.03.122 (Swimming Pools And Spa Code, adopted by Ord. 2025-04, 4/1/2025) still codifies — confirmed by live browser re-check 2026-07-16 (the JavaScript-rendered code viewer that previously blocked static text extraction was successfully read this session): 'The residential provisions of the Swimming Pool and Spa Code, 2021 Edition ... are hereby adopted.'
• Manufactured Housing standards per Utah Code § 15A-2-104, plus the HUD Code, Appendix AE of the 2021 IRC, and the 2005 NFPA 225 Model Manufactured Home Installation Standard — adopted by Ord. 2017-03, amended by Ord. 2025-04, per CMC § 10.03.090. Not affected by the § 15A-2-103 7/1/2026 amendment (governed by § 15A-2-104 instead).
• Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, 1997 Edition — adopted by Ord. 2017-03, amended by Ord. 2025-04, per CMC § 10.03.100. Not a § 15A-2-103 code; unaffected by the 7/1/2026 amendment.
• International Property Maintenance Code, 2006 Edition — adopted by Ord. 2017-03, amended by Ord. 2025-04, per CMC § 10.03.110. Not a § 15A-2-103 code; unaffected by the 7/1/2026 amendment.
• International Fire Code (IFC), 2021 Edition, excluding appendices, plus NFPA 1 Ch. 28 (2018), NFPA 54 (2024), and NFPA 58 (2024) — per CMC § 10.03.120, adopted by Ord. 2017-03, amended by Ord. 2018-07 (2/6/2018), amended by Ord. 2019-18 (8/6/2019), amended by Ord. 2025-04 (4/1/2025). CORRECTION (2026-07-16): this file's prior entry described the IFC edition as '2015 Edition per the 2017 code compilation text' and reported the full CMC § 10.03.120 text as unextractable due to JavaScript rendering — both are superseded by a successful live browser re-read of centerville.municipalcodeonline.com on 2026-07-16, which returned full section text confirming the 2021 IFC (not 2015) is currently codified. The IFC is NOT among the codes adopted by Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (Title 15A Chapter 2, State Construction Code) — Utah's Fire Code is separately adopted under Title 15A Chapter 5, State Fire Code Act — so no statutory edition change via § 15A-2-103 applies to this entry regardless.
• International Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code — CMC § 10.03.125, confirmed via live browser re-read 2026-07-16 (previously unextractable): the 2006-edition Utah WUI Code (adopted by Ord. 2017-03, per Utah Code Title 65A Ch. 8) governs UNTIL January 1, 2027, at which point the 2024-edition International WUI Code (adopted by Ord. 2026-03 on 3/3/2026, amended by Ord. 2026-09 on 4/21/2026) takes over per a dual-dated code section. This is a Title 15A Ch. 2 local-amendment-adoptable code under § 15A-2-103(2), distinct from the seven codes listed in § 15A-2-103(1) that are the focus of this file's 7/1/2026 update.
• NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The 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. Centerville Municipal Code Title 10.03 was live re-read in full via browser (centerville.municipalcodeonline.com, JavaScript-rendered — the WebFetch tool that previously reported this content as unextractable returns only template chrome; the Browser pane renders full section text) on 2026-07-16 and IS STILL LAGGING on every code family Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1) bumped to 2024: IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/ISPSC(residential) all remain codified at their pre-7/1/2026 (2021) editions, most recently touched by Ord. 2025-04 (4/1/2025), which predates the statute's effective date. The NEC section (§ 10.03.070, amended by Ord. 2026-03 on 3/3/2026 — Centerville's most recent construction-code ordinance) is CORRECT at 2023, and the IRC section is correctly unchanged at 2021.

Permit types & fees

• Residential Building Permit (New Home / Addition / Remodel)

  Required for new single-family/multi-family residential construction, additions, remodels, swimming pools, detached structures, and decks in Centerville, per the city's official Building Permit Application. The Permit Fee is valuation-based per Centerville City's own Total Building Valuation Chart (Fee Schedule § 4.010), not pegged to an outside ICC table.

  →

• Roofing Permit

  Required for new felt/roofing material, decking replacement, or structural changes to a roof in Centerville, per the city's official Roofing Permit Application. Structural changes require submission of structural calculations and a plan review with additional fees.

  →

• Plumbing Permit

  Required for water heater installation/replacement, tankless water heaters, or new plumbing work in Centerville, per the city's official Plumbing Permit Application.

  →

• Mechanical Permit

  Required for furnace/air conditioner installation or replacement, or gas line new/upgrade/removal work in Centerville, per the city's official Mechanical Permit Application.

  →

• Electrical Permit

  Required for power service upgrades, power to panel work, temporary power pedestals, EV charging stations, or meter-mounted transfer switches (solar/generator) in Centerville, per the city's official Electrical Permit Application. 'EV Charging Station' is its own explicit checkbox on the application (confirmed by direct PDF review 2026-07-19), but Centerville does not bill it as a distinct fee — it is billed at the same standard $70.70 permit fee as the other checkbox categories, unless the installation also requires Power to Panel work ($141.40) or a service upgrade.

  →

• Solar Panel (PV) Permit

  Required for solar panel installations, battery backup for solar systems, and meter-mounted transfer switches for solar systems in Centerville, per the city's official Solar Permit Application and Solar Array Permit Requirements document. This is the only Centerville permit type with a city-published numeric review-timeline commitment.

  →

• Grading Permit

  Required for grading activities within Centerville, with fees based on total cubic yards of material moved, per the city's official Fee Schedule § 4.020.

  →

• Commercial Building Permit

  Required for new commercial, industrial, or multi-family building construction in Centerville, governed by the 2024 IBC (Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective 7/1/2026; Centerville's own Municipal Code Title 10.03 is confirmed still codified at the 2021 IBC as of live re-check 2026-07-16 — see codesAdopted note). The base Building Permit Fee is calculated from the same Total Building Valuation Chart (Fee Schedule § 4.010) used for residential permits, but Commercial/Industrial/Multi-Family projects are billed a separate, higher Plan Review rate under Fee Schedule § 4.040.

  →

• Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit

  Required for interior tenant-finish and tenant-improvement work within an existing commercial, industrial, or multi-family building in Centerville. Centerville's Building Permit Application groups 'Large Tenant Finish' projects with 'New' Commercial Build for plan-submittal purposes (both require 2 sets of 24x36 plans), and both are billed under the same Fee Schedule § 4.010 valuation chart and § 4.040 Commercial/Industrial/Multi-Family plan review rate — the fee schedule does not publish a separate, lower tenant-improvement fee table.

• Sign Permit

  Signs in Centerville are regulated by a dedicated chapter of the Centerville Zoning Code (CZC § 12.54, Sign Regulations), most recently amended by Ordinance No. 2024-16 (adopted October 15, 2024, effective within 30 days), which rewrote § 12.54.120 (Signs in the Parrish Lane Gateway Commercial District) and § 12.54.130 (Signs in Commercial Zones) to allow increased free-standing sign heights. Re-chased 2026-07-20: the fee schedule is hosted on a JavaScript-rendered municipal code platform (centerville.municipalcodeonline.com/book?type=fees) that a plain HTTP fetch cannot render, but the platform's print-preview endpoint (centerville.municipalcodeonline.com/book/print?type=fees) served the entire consolidated Fee Schedule as static HTML. Chapter 20.120 (Signs) of that Fee Schedule states: standard Sign Permits are charged 'Based on Building Valuation, Per CFS 4 (Building Permit Fees)' (i.e. the same valuation-based building-permit fee table applies, due upon application), while a Temporary Sign Permit is a flat $30 due upon application; Street Signs are billed per CFS 17 (Street and Excavation Permit Fees). Adopted by Resolution 2017-18 on 8/15/2017, per the fee schedule's own history note (no later amendment to the Signs section was found).

  →

• EV Charger / EVSE Permit

  Centerville City's official Electrical Permit Application lists "EV Charging Station" as its own checkbox permit type, distinct from Power Service Upgrade, Power to Panel, and Temporary Power. It is billed at the city's standard flat Electrical Permit fee of $70.70 unless the installation also requires a service or panel upgrade, in which case the higher Power to Panel fee ($141.40) applies.

  →

• Fire Sprinkler System Permit

  Required for installation, modification, or removal from service of an automatic fire sprinkler (suppression) system in Centerville. Centerville's own City Fee Schedule (Chapter 4) has no fire-suppression line item because fire protection system plan review and permitting for Centerville is handled entirely by South Davis Metro Fire (SDMF), a special fire district confirmed by its own website to serve 'Bountiful, Centerville, North Salt Lake, West Bountiful, Woods Cross and the unincorporated areas of South Davis County' — a separate submittal, agency, and fee from the City's own Building Division / Sunrise Engineering building-permit process.

  →

• Fire Alarm System Permit

  Required for installation or modification of a fire alarm and detection system in Centerville. As with fire sprinkler permits, fire alarm plan review and permitting for Centerville is handled by South Davis Metro Fire (SDMF) -- a special fire district confirmed by its own website to serve 'Bountiful, Centerville, North Salt Lake, West Bountiful, Woods Cross and the unincorporated areas of South Davis County' -- separately from the City's own Building Division / Sunrise Engineering building-permit process.

• Change of Occupancy Classification

  Centerville Municipal Code § 10.06.010 (Certificate Required) directly addresses change of use: 'No building or structure shall be used or occupied, in whole or in part, for any purpose, and no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made, until the City has issued a Final Inspection Certificate, Certificate of Occupancy, or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy.' Centerville does not publish a standalone 'change of use permit' application or fee, however -- confirmed 2026-07-21 by direct fetch of the full Municipal Code (Chapter 10.06) and the full Fee Schedule (no 'change of use,' 'change of occupancy,' or standalone Certificate of Occupancy fee line item exists; only the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy fee, $50, and its $25 extension are itemized under Fee Schedule § 4.010). A genuine change in occupancy classification is instead processed through Centerville's existing Building Permit Application (most often under the 'Commercial Tenant Finish' checkbox, since the City's own Building Permit Application PDF has no separate 'change of use' box) if any construction/plan review is involved, billed at the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee and 65% Commercial Plan Review rate as any other commercial permit (Fee Schedule §§ 4.010/4.040); or, where no construction is involved, through the City's Business License process (Chapter 5.010), which its own Business Licenses and Permits page confirms handles business 'location changes' and coordinates review with Zoning, Building, and safety requirements at the same flat Business License fee structure as a new business.
