Commercial Building Permit in West Point, Utah

Tips

  • West Point's Fee Schedule lists both a 'Commercial plan review and inspection fee' at 60% of building permit fees and a separate 'Non-Residential Plan Review and Inspection Fee' at 25% of the Permit Fee — the schedule does not explain the distinction between these two categories; confirm which applies to a specific project with the Building Department (801-776-0970) before budgeting.
  • North Davis Fire District and North Davis Sewer District impact fees for commercial projects are determined and paid separately to those special districts, not calculated by or paid to West Point City directly.
  • Commercial water meter connection fees scale by size (1" $450 up to cost+$100 for 2+ inch), distinct from the flat residential 3/4"/1" tiers.

West Point, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including appendices C & J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition. West Point City's official New Home Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16, unchanged) still lists '2021 International Building Code, including appendices C & J' effective July 1, 2023, and has not been updated for the 7/1/2026 statewide transition — the statute controls over the lagging city document.; 2021 International Residential Code, including appendix AQ, except residential provisions of Chapter 11 (Energy Efficiency) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment. Consistent with West Point's own New Home Design Criteria document.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); supersedes the 2021 edition.

West Point's Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16) lists '2020 National Electrical Code issued by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),' which is NOT a valid statewide-adopted edition and has not been corrected by the City — the statute controls. Confirm the currently enforced NEC edition directly with the Building Department before relying on the City's own document for a live project.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); COLLAPSES the residential/commercial split previously listed here into one edition, since § 15A-2-103 does not carry a residential/commercial IECC split. West Point's own Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16, unchanged) still splits '2015 International Energy Conservation Code (residential)' and '2021 International Energy Conservation Code (commercial)' — both stale editions, both now superseded by the single 2024 statewide edition; the prior residential/commercial split is preserved below as explicit history.; HISTORY (superseded by the single 2024 IECC entry above): West Point's Design Criteria document lists the residential IECC as the 2015 edition and the commercial IECC as the 2021 edition, both effective July 1, 2023 — this residential/commercial split reflected the pre-7/1/2026 code cycle and does not exist under the current statute, which adopts one unsplit IECC edition.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); supersedes the 2021 edition.

West Point's Design Criteria document (re-fetched live 2026-07-16) still lists '2021 International Swimming Pool & Spa' and has not been updated.; MBI 1200 and MBI 1205 (manufactured/modular construction standards) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not itemized in West Point's Design Criteria document, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): 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. West Point's own New Home Design Criteria PDF was re-fetched live 2026-07-16 and is byte-identical in substance to what this file previously described: still headed 'Effective July 1, 2023' and listing 2021 IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IEBC/ISPSC, a residential/commercial IECC split (2015/2021), and an outright incorrect '2020 National Electrical Code' — none of these have been updated by the City. The statute is cited directly as governing throughout; the City's lagging document is preserved above as recorded history, not deleted.. Local amendments apply — see the West Point overview page for the full list.
