Tips

  • Kaysville's commercial Plan Check Fee (55% of permit fee) sits between its residential (25%) and reflects a genuinely tiered system that also includes a distinct multi-family rate (35%) — three separate percentages, not just a residential/commercial split.
  • The $1,000 Commercial Plan Review Deposit is 40 times the $25 residential deposit — budget for this substantially larger upfront cost before plan review even begins.
  • Kaysville operates its own municipal power utility with a detailed commercial power impact fee table split by single-phase vs. three-phase (120/240V, 120/208V, 277/480V) service configurations — the exact voltage/phase configuration significantly changes the impact fee (e.g., $5,725 vs. $13,359 for the same 200A service at different phase configurations).
  • Non-residential Roadway, Fire, and Public Safety impact fees are all charged per 1,000 sq ft rather than as a flat per-unit fee like residential — total impact fees scale directly with building size.

Frequently asked questions

Kaysville requires a commercial building permit for: New commercial building construction on a permitted, properly zoned lot; Complete architectural and structural drawings; Commercial Plan Review Deposit ($1,000) paid at submittal; Roadway, Fire, and Public Safety non-residential impact fees calculated per 1,000 sq ft. If your project isn't listed, confirm with Kaysville City Building Department at (801) 544-1363 before starting work.

The base Building Permit Fee uses the same valuation table as residential (e.g., $5,608.75 plus $3.65 per additional $1,000 over $1,000,000). Commercial plan check is 55% of that fee (vs. 25% residential), plus a $1,000 Commercial Plan Review Deposit (vs. $25 residential), a 1% state fee, and a $1,500 construction guaranty bond. Non-residential impact fees also apply: Roadway ($1,104–$3,696 per 1,000 sq ft depending on use), Fire ($529 per 1,000 sq ft), Public Safety ($205 per 1,000 sq ft), and a detailed commercial power impact fee table.

No commercial-specific turnaround is published. Kaysville's general 'approximately two weeks' estimate applies to plan-review permits broadly, but commercial submittals require a much larger $1,000 plan review deposit, suggesting more involved review. Call (801) 544-1363 for a current estimate.

You'll need: Building Permit Application (Cityinspect); Construction Plans; Commercial Plan Review Deposit ($1,000). See the required-documents checklist on this page for details on each.

NOTE: the IFC is NOT among the codes adopted by Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (which governs Title 15A Chapter 2, State Construction Code) — Utah's Fire Code is separately adopted under Title 15A Chapter 5, State Fire Code Act; left as published by the City, no statutory edition change applies via § 15A-2-103; 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; Kaysville Design Criteria already correctly reflects 2023; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized in Kaysville's own Design Criteria page or elsewhere on kaysville.gov, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, supersedes the 2021 edition referenced in this file's Residential Pool Permit entry, which had not been updated as of 2026-07-16; 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. Kaysville's Design Criteria page (kaysville.gov/750/Design-Criteria) was live-checked 2026-07-16 and is ALREADY CORRECT — it states verbatim 'The 2021 IRC as adopted by the State of Utah Title 15A' for residential, and 'The 2024 IBC, IMC, IFC, IPC, IFGC, IECC, Etc, and the 2023 NEC as adopted by the State of Utah' for commercial (Kaysville does not separately itemize IEBC or ISPSC on this page). This file's earlier codesAdopted entries (rev. pre-2026-07-16) were stale relative to Kaysville's own already-updated page; both are now aligned to 2024/2021/2023 per statute. The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 citation in the sources array below has been updated to the current in-force version link. Local amendments apply — see the Kaysville overview page for the full list.
