Tips

  • Water and sewer connection fees differ substantially between City-limits and County (outside-city, Roosevelt-sewer) properties — confirm which rate tier applies before budgeting.
  • The published Sewer Fee Schedule does not separately itemize a 'Duplex' connection tier despite the application form listing one — call the Building Department at (435) 722-5001 to confirm whether a duplex is billed at the Single Family or Commercial/Multiple Dwelling rate.
  • Roosevelt City does not publish a distinct solar/photovoltaic permit, checklist, or fee line — its Building Department page and Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 2024-322) list only the general valuation-based Building Permit Fee table plus a flat $25.00 Electrical Inspection fee, with no solar-specific mention found after a direct check (2026-07-19). A rooftop or ground-mounted solar PV installation is therefore priced and processed under this general Residential/Duplex Building Permit (valuation-based fee) plus the standard Electrical Inspection.
  • The same gap applies to EV chargers: Roosevelt's Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 2024-322) has no EV-charger-specific or electric-vehicle line item (re-checked 2026-07-20) — a home charger installation would be billed the same way as other electrical work, under the Residential/Duplex Building Permit plus the flat $25.00 Electrical Inspection fee, not a dedicated EV rate.
