Tips

  • This $75 flat fee applies to standalone electrical, mechanical, or plumbing permits with no deposit required — a much simpler path than the valuation-based building permit process used for new construction or additions.
  • Fencing over 4 ft. in height or front-yard fencing/landscaping is treated separately (see Fencing/Landscaping permit) and carries its own $25 plan review fee.
  • EV charger (EVSE) installation is treated as standard electrical work under this same flat-fee permit — the city's official Building Permits page (wbcityut.gov/building-permits/, live-checked 2026-07-19) lists 'Electrical/Mechanical/Generators' as a covered project category with no separate EV-charger or electric-vehicle-charging line item, and the Consolidated Fee Schedule's flat $75 'Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing permit' fee is the only electrical-permit fee published — no distinct EV-specific fee was found.
