Internal Accessory Dwelling Unit (IADU)
VerifiedKaysville City Code 17-31-3 allows Internal Accessory Dwelling Units (IADUs) only — located within the primary dwelling — in response to Utah HB 82 (2021). Detached ADUs (garage apartments, 'granny flats') are explicitly NOT permitted as dwellings in Kaysville.

Also checked kaysville.gov/749/Building-Permit-Fees (live, full text) — no IADU line item exists there either. Additionally chased the actual application form linked from the IADU page (Civic Review portal, https://app.civicreview.com/application/61816c57a3e0ec001c2f01b1) — it is a multi-step JS application with a 'Fees' step gated behind entering property-owner/property information, so no fee figure is viewable without submitting an in-progress application; not attempted, as doing so would require entering fabricated personal data into a live government form. No specific number is grounded anywhere checked. If the IADU involves construction/remodeling, that work would be charged under standard building-permit valuation fees (kaysville.gov/749/Building-Permit-Fees). Contact the Building Department (commdev@kaysville.gov / (801) 546-1241, per the Civic Review application's own contact block) to confirm the exact IADU occupancy-permit fee. |

| Performance Deposit — Demolition | $200 (UNCONFIRMED as of 2026-07-23 — see note) | PARTIAL/DOWNGRADED 2026-07-23: re-fetched kaysville.gov/182/Building-Permits (live) and the Demo Checklist (kaysville.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5224/Demo-Checklist, live PDF) in full and neither currently contains the quoted 'Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) for each demolition of a structure or manufactured home set in a manufactured home park' text — this quote is no longer groundable on the cited page. Also checked the live Consolidated Fee Schedule (kaysville.municipalcodeonline.com/book?type=fees, current edition eff. 7/1/2026) and the FY2021 Consolidated Fee Schedule PDF (kaysville.gov/DocumentCenter/View/3057/Consolidated-Fee-FY-21-PDF); both contain only a 'Manufactured Homes Guaranty Bonds — $200.00 (refundable upon final occupancy permit)' line, which is a bond for placing a NEW manufactured home (refunded at occupancy), not a demolition deposit — it does not support the demolition-specific $200 claim either, in this or any prior edition checked. The Demo Checklist does confirm a 'performance deposit' and 'Bond Release' inspection step exist for demolition, so SOME deposit is real, but its dollar amount cannot currently be re-grounded to any live or archived Kaysville source. Confidence downgraded to partial for this field; call the Building Department at (801) 544-1363 to confirm the current demolition deposit amount before relying on the $200 figure. |

Fence Permit
CORRECTED 2026-07-23: Kaysville's Building Permits page (kaysville.gov/182/Building-Permits) lists 'Fences over 7 feet in height' among the items requiring a building permit — meaning fences up to 7 feet do not require a building permit, not 6 feet as this entry previously (and incorrectly) stated citing kaysville.gov/205/Planning-Zoning, a page which does not in fact discuss fence height at all. Corner lot visibility restrictions apply regardless of height.
Reviewed 2026-07-23 · Source
Requirements
- Most residential fences up to 7 feet tall do not require a building permit, per kaysville.gov/182/Building-Permits ('Fences over 7 feet in height' is listed as requiring a permit)
- Corner lots: no fencing/landscaping/obstruction higher than 2 feet within 30 feet of the intersecting property line (kaysville.gov/205/Planning-Zoning, 'Clear View Information')
- Zoning (Title 17) may separately cap fence height in certain yards/zones even where no building permit is triggered — confirm with Planning & Zoning before building a fence over 6 feet, since this file could not independently verify a zoning-specific height cap as of 2026-07-23
Required documents
- OptionalNone required for standard fencesNo permit application is published as required for standard backyard fences up to 7 ft; contact Planning & Zoning at (801) 546-1241 to confirm if your specific fence design, height, or zone requires review

Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit
VerifiedRequired for interior tenant-finish and remodel work within an existing commercial building in Kaysville. Kaysville's Consolidated Fee Schedule publishes a distinct, lower-cost remodel line item for residential structures ('Existing Residential Structure (Remodels)' at $50 + $10/$1,000 valuation) but does NOT publish an equivalent discounted line for commercial remodels/tenant finish — commercial tenant-improvement work is billed under the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee table and 55% commercial Plan Check Fee as new commercial construction.

Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Building Permit Fee — valuation-based (same table as new commercial construction) | Same tiered table as new commercial construction — e.g., $5,608.75 plus $3.65 per additional $1,000 over $1,000,000 | Kaysville City Consolidated Fee Schedule, Community Development > Building Permit Fees, live browser render verified directly 2026-07-19. The schedule publishes a discrete, lower 'Existing Residential Structure (Remodels)' line ($50.00 flat, plus $10.00 per $1,000 of valuation) for residential remodels, but NO equivalent discounted line for commercial remodel/tenant-improvement work — commercial tenant finish falls back to the general valuation table. |
| Plan Check Fee — Commercial | 55% of permit fee | Kaysville City Consolidated Fee Schedule, Community Development > Building Permit Fees: 'Plan Check Fee — Commercial - 55% of permit fee.' Same rate applies to both new commercial construction and tenant-improvement/remodel work — no separate, lower tenant-finish percentage is published (unlike, e.g., Clinton City's separate 0.35 Commercial Tenant Finish multiplier). |

Commercial Fire Sprinkler and Fire Alarm Permit
VerifiedKaysville is unusual among nearby Davis County cities in that fire sprinkler and fire alarm permitting is handled directly by the Kaysville Building Department, NOT a separate fire district or the Fire Department, per the city's official Building Permits page: 'When installing new or modifying existing fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems in Kaysville City, it's the Building Department NOT the Fire Department that handles the submittals and the approvals of plans and inspections.' The city treats fire sprinkler and fire alarm work as a single combined 'Commercial Fire Alarm and Sprinkler' permit category with its own distinct application deposit fee, separate from the deposit fees for new commercial buildings, tenant improvements, mechanical, or signs.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Apply for the 'Commercial Fire Alarm/Sprinkler' permit through the Building Department and attach plans for review
- Reference the business address or the building's issued permit number, to link the fire/sprinkler plans to the existing building or tenant improvement permit for deferred submittal
- Applications submitted through the online Building Permit portal (utah.cityinspect.com)
Required documents
- RequiredCommercial Fire Alarm/Sprinkler Permit ApplicationSubmitted through Kaysville's online Cityinspect building permit portal, referencing the associated business address or building permit number.
- RequiredFire Sprinkler and/or Fire Alarm PlansPlan set for the fire protection system(s) being installed or modified, attached to the permit application for Building Department review.
Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial Fire Alarm and Sprinkler — Application Deposit | $100.00 | Kaysville City official Building Permits page (kaysville.gov/182/Building-Permits), 'Notice of Adoption of Application Fee & Impact Fee Increase' section: building application deposit fees table lists 'Commercial Fire Alarm and Sprinkler — $100' (compare: all residential types $25, Commercial new buildings $1,000, Commercial Tenant Improvement/Remodel $100, Commercial Mechanical $25, Commercial Signs $25). This deposit fee applies to applications received after January 17, 2023, and is credited toward the total fees due upon permit issuance — it is not necessarily the full final permit cost. |
Change of Use / Change of Occupancy
VerifiedKaysville does not publish a distinct 'Change of Use' or 'Change of Occupancy' permit or fee line item. Confirmed by direct review of the Business Licensing page, Business License Fees page, Building Permits page, and the FY2027 Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 26-06-06, adopted 6/18/2026, effective 7/1/2026) — no standalone application or fee exists. Where a change of use involves no construction, a new occupant simply obtains a standard Commercial business license (Zoning Administrator site approval, Fire Department business inspection, Business Licensing Office). Where construction accompanies the change of use, occupancy classification is determined as part of Kaysville's existing Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit process, governed by the 2024 IBC and IEBC (statewide-mandatory per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a) and (1)(i), effective 7/1/2026).
Verified 2026-07-21 · Source
Requirements
- No standalone change-of-use or change-of-occupancy application exists in Kaysville — the applicable process depends on whether construction accompanies the use change
- If no construction is involved: the new occupant/business obtains a standard Commercial business license through Kaysville Business Licensing, subject to Zoning Administrator site approval and a Fire Department business inspection before the license can be issued
- If construction is involved: file under Kaysville's existing Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit process, which determines the Occupancy Group under the 2024 IBC/IEBC
- Governed by the 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), statewide-mandatory per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i) as of 7/1/2026, which addresses change-of-occupancy classification
Required documents
- OptionalCommercial License Application (if no construction accompanies the use change)Apply through Kaysville Business Licensing (801-546-1241); requires Zoning Administrator approval that the site is properly zoned/used and a Fire Department business inspection before the license can be issued.
- OptionalBuilding Permit Application (Cityinspect) — Commercial Building or Tenant Improvement (if construction accompanies the use change)Same application used for this file's Commercial Building Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit entries; apply online at https://utah.cityinspect.com/register?registration_id=b6YPk5XkR3
Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Business License — Commercial (applies when a new business/use occupies a space, no construction) | $120.00, plus a one-time $15.00 Set Up Fee for the initial business license application | Kaysville City Consolidated Fee Schedule, Resolution 26-06-06 (FY2027, adopted 6/18/2026, effective 7/1/2026), 'BUSINESS LICENSE FEES' section, direct PDF fetch and read 2026-07-21: 'Commercial $120.00' (increased from $80.00) and 'Set Up Fee (charged once for initial business license application) $15.00'. No separate 'change of use' fee line item exists; a new occupant/use is billed the same Commercial license fee as any other new business. |
| Fire Department Business Inspection | $100.00 | Kaysville City Consolidated Fee Schedule, Resolution 26-06-06 (FY2027), Section 5, 'INSPECTION FEES' (newly adopted table): 'Business Inspection $100.00', direct PDF fetch and read 2026-07-21. Kaysville's own 'What Do I Need To Do To Get A Business License' guide (kaysville.gov/DocumentCenter/View/197/Business-License-Information-PDF) states a fire inspection is required on all commercial businesses 'before a business license can be sent' — this FY2027 fee formalizes that inspection's cost. |
| Transfer/Modify Fee (existing license changes, not a genuinely new occupant/use) | $10.00 | Kaysville City Consolidated Fee Schedule, Resolution 26-06-06 (FY2027), 'BUSINESS LICENSE FEES' section: 'Transfer/Modify Fee $10.00', direct PDF fetch and read 2026-07-21. Applies to modifying or transferring details on an existing license rather than licensing a genuinely new occupant/use, which is billed the full Commercial license fee instead. |
| Building Permit / Plan Check (if construction accompanies the change of use) | Valuation-based, per this file's Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit fee tables | No separate change-of-occupancy fee is published; where the change of use also triggers tenant-finish or remodel work, it is billed exactly as those two entries in this file. |
