Tips

  • Commercial/Industrial/Multi-Family plan review in Centerville is billed at 65% of the Building Permit Fee — more than double the 25% residential rate — plus actual-cost billing for any required peer review.
  • The underlying Building Permit Fee itself uses the SAME Total Building Valuation Chart as residential; only the plan-review percentage and cardfile plan-check fee differ for commercial projects.
  • 'New' Commercial Build projects require two sets of 24x36 plans for review, per the official Building Permit Application — confirm sheet size before submitting.
  • A $1,000 refundable Construction Bond applies to commercial permits, the same flat amount as residential — Centerville does not publish a larger commercial-specific bond figure.
  • Centerville does not publish a distinct fire sprinkler or fire alarm system permit, fee, or plan-review line item — confirmed via a live browser render of the full Fee Schedule (centerville.municipalcodeonline.com/book?type=fees, all 20 chapters, 2026-07-20): Chapter 4 (Building Permit Fees) has no fire-specific fee, and the city's own Chapter 12 'Fire/EMS Impact Fee' (§ 12.040) was adopted by Res. 2017-18 on 8/15/2017 and then REPEALED by Res. 2017-19 on 9/19/2017 — Centerville currently has no fire-related fee of any kind on its published Fee Schedule. Fire suppression/alarm system work for commercial construction is priced through the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee and 65%-of-permit Commercial Plan Review fee used for the project generally.

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.

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.
