Tips

  • Kaysville operates its own municipal electric utility (Kaysville City Power) — you connect to Kaysville City Power, not Rocky Mountain Power.
  • All electrical work in Kaysville is governed by the 2023 NEC (Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g)).
  • Utah law allows homeowners to perform electrical work on their own primary residence, but a permit and inspections are still required.
