Residential Building Permit in Enoch City, Utah

Required for new single-family residential construction in Enoch City. The base building permit fee is set by the Uniform Building Code valuation table plus a 1% Utah state surcharge; a separate plan-review fee (a percentage of the building permit fee, scaled by home size) is charged by the city's contracted third-party plan reviewer and cannot be waived. Enoch City's official Fee Schedule (Section 4.A, Permit) states building permit fees are set by the Uniform Building Code on a valuation basis, plus a 1% state surcharge; no distinct EV charger/EVSE fee category was found as of 2026-07-19, so EV charger installation is handled as standard electrical work under this same valuation-based Building Permit.

Building Permit Fee (base, UBC valuation table)Enoch City Fee Schedule, Section 4.A 'Permit' (hosting.civiclinq.com/enochcity/books/enoch-city-fee-schedule/4.A): 'Building permit fees are set by the Uniform Building Code.

The specific UBC valuation-per-square-foot table itself is not separately republished on Enoch's fee-schedule page; the city fee schedule states only that the UBC table governs, consistent with how several other small Utah cities in this corpus reference the standard valuation table rather than reprinting it.

Tips

  • Enoch City's Building Department office hours are Monday–Thursday 9:00 AM–4:30 PM and Friday 9:00 AM–1:00 PM — shorter Friday hours than several neighboring Utah cities.
  • All permit documents are submitted by email to inspector@enochcity.org, not through a walk-in-only process — bundle all checklist items into one submission to start the process.
  • Enoch's plan review fee is NOT waivable even when a project's building permit fee is waived by City Council — the city is billed directly by its third-party plan reviewer, per December 2023 City Council minutes discussing a fee waiver for the Iron County Children's Justice Center (all building permit fees waived except the $2,417.66 plan review fee).
  • Builders can create an account and check permit status online via Enoch's CityInspect portal (enoch.cityinspect.com) or the shared Iron County CityInspect registration portal (utah.cityinspect.com) — Enoch's own instance is distinct from Cedar City's.
  • To log in to an existing permit online, the username is the permit number (e.g., 'B-16-000') and the password is the first 5 characters of the builder name plus the permit number again (e.g., 'Buildb-16-000'), per the Building Department page's own login instructions.
  • Structures under 200 square feet do not require a building permit, per Enoch City Fee Schedule Section 4.A.
  • Enoch City's Fee Schedule Section 4.A (hosting.civiclinq.com/enochcity/books/enoch-city-fee-schedule/4.A, checked 2026-07-19) prices all building-permit work, including electrical, on the Uniform Building Code valuation table — no separate EV charger/EVSE line item was found.

Office hours: Monday–Thursday 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM, Friday 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM, per enochcityut.gov footer contact block and the city's official Water Meter, Connection & Deposit Info sheet (Rev 06 2015)..

Enoch City, Utah has adopted: Uniform Building Code (UBC) valuation table — Enoch City's own Fee Schedule (hosting.civiclinq.com/enochcity/books/enoch-city-fee-schedule/4.A) states: 'Building permit fees are set by the Uniform Building Code.' This is the same 1997 UBC Table 1-A valuation-fee structure referenced by other small Utah cities in this corpus (e.g. Provo); Enoch's own published fee-schedule language uses 'Uniform Building Code' rather than citing a specific IBC/IRC edition year.; Statewide baseline per Utah Code § 15A-2-103: Utah's currently adopted statewide construction codes — the 2024 IBC (incl. Appendices C and J), 2024 IPC, 2024 IMC, 2024 IFGC, 2024 IECC, and 2024 IEBC (all in force since July 1, 2026, superseding the 2021 editions), alongside the unchanged 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC — apply to Enoch City by default absent a documented independent city-level code-adoption ordinance; Enoch City's own website does not publish a distinct 'Current Adopted Codes' page listing specific ICC edition years (unlike Cedar City's dedicated codes page), so the state baseline is reported here rather than invented city-specific edition years.. Local amendments apply — see the Enoch City overview page for the full list.

No. Enoch City operates its own independent Building Department (900 East Midvalley Road, Enoch, UT 84721; (435) 586-1119; inspector@enochcity.org) with its own fee schedule, ordinances, and CityInspect permit-portal instance (enoch.cityinspect.com), distinct from Cedar City's Building & Zoning Department and the unincorporated Iron County building department, though builders can access a shared Iron County-wide CityInspect registration portal (utah.cityinspect.com).
