Sign Permit in Centerville, Utah

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).

    Tips

    • Centerville's sign standards for free-standing signs vary meaningfully by area within the Parrish Lane Gateway Commercial District (base district, I-15/Frontage Road freeway-oriented signs, and Frontage Road-to-400-West area each have distinct height and area caps) — confirm which sub-area a property falls in before estimating sign size.
    • Free-standing sign landscaping (minimum 1,000 sq ft) and location are reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission as part of site plan review, not administratively.
    • Standard sign permits are NOT a flat fee — they're billed on the same building-valuation-based fee table as a regular building permit (CFS Chapter 4); only Temporary Sign Permits carry a flat fee ($30).
    • Centerville's municipal code platform (centerville.municipalcodeonline.com) hides its actual fee/code text behind JavaScript on the normal book?type=fees viewer, but the /book/print?type=fees print-preview endpoint serves the full text as static HTML — useful for any other Centerville fee lookup that seems unreachable.

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. The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 citation has been added to the sources array below, pointing to the current in-force version link.. Local amendments apply — see the Centerville overview page for the full list.

    Per CZC § 12.54.120(b)(3)(A), as amended by Ordinance No. 2024-16 (October 2024), total allowable sign area is 150 square feet plus an additional 10 square feet per tenant (existing or approved), not to exceed 250 square feet in total, at a maximum height of 30 feet unless otherwise provided.
