Residential Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new residential construction, additions, remodels, and structural alterations on land in unincorporated Juab County (outside Nephi and other incorporated municipalities). Issued and reviewed by the Juab County Planning and Zoning Department, which is organizationally and operationally separate from Nephi City's own Building Department — Nephi contracts with the county for planning services on land-use matters but issues and processes its own building permits under a separate competitively-bid contract (RFP No. 22-01); the county's Planning and Zoning Department independently issues and reviews unincorporated-area permits under its own Building Permit Application and Pledge for Building Permit process.

Commercial Building Permit
Required for new commercial construction on land in unincorporated Juab County, regulated by the statewide-adopted 2024 IBC (Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective July 1, 2026). Juab County Planning and Zoning does not publish a distinct commercial building permit page, application form, or fee schedule separate from its general Building Permit Application process — the same valuation-based fee methodology and application form used for residential permits applies to commercial construction.

Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit
Required for tenant improvement and tenant finish work in existing commercial buildings on land in unincorporated Juab County. Juab County Planning and Zoning does not publish any distinct tenant-improvement permit type, application, checklist, or fee line — an exhaustive search of juabcounty.gov as of 2026-07-19 found no county-specific tenant-improvement materials at all. Tenant improvement work is presumed, absent contrary evidence, to fall under the same general Building Permit Application and valuation-based fee process used for all other construction in the county.

Sign Permit
Required before erecting, constructing, reconstructing, enlarging, locating, or altering any sign in unincorporated Juab County, per the Juab County Land Use Code § 12-1-2202. Signs on residential uses are reviewed and issued directly by the Zoning Administrator; all other signs require Planning Commission review and approval before the Administrator issues the permit (§ 12-1-305.3.c). Re-chased 2026-07-20: the permit process and detailed sign-standards requirements below are fully confirmed against the codified ordinance; the dollar fee amount itself remains genuinely unpublished online after an exhaustive search (see fees[].notes for every avenue tried) — the ordinance itself states the fee schedule is kept administratively at the Juab County Clerk's office rather than codified.

Requirements
- Sign permit required before erecting, constructing, reconstructing, enlarging, locating, or altering any sign — Juab County Land Use Code § 12-1-2202
- Signs for residential uses are reviewed and issued by the Zoning Administrator; the Administrator may request Planning Commission concurrence — § 12-1-305.3.c
- All other (non-residential) signs must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission before the Administrator issues the permit — § 12-1-305.3.c, § 12-1-2204
- At the time new buildings or developments are presented for site plan review, all proposed signs must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission as part of that review; signs added to, enlarged on, or substantially modified on existing buildings/uses require the same review — § 12-1-2204
- Application must be accompanied by scaled, dimensioned drawings showing: a site plan with property lines and existing/proposed buildings and parking; the location of all existing/proposed signs; full-color elevations with dimensions and square footage; height and size of free-standing signs; type of illumination, if any; and details of sign construction and attachment — § 12-1-2205

| Sign Permit Fee | Not published online | Juab County Land Use Code § 12-1-305.3.g states that 'a schedule of the fees required for the issuance of any certificate, permit, or review is available at the office of the Juab County Clerk' — the fee schedule is administratively maintained rather than codified, and no dollar amount for a sign permit specifically was found published online after an exhaustive re-chase on 2026-07-20. Avenues tried and exhausted (first pass): (1) re-fetched the Land Use Code itself (Wayback Machine snapshot, since co.juab.ut.us times out) — confirms the fee schedule lives at the Clerk's office, not in the code; (2) checked the county's current site, juabcounty.gov, including the Planning & Zoning page, Clerk-Auditor page, Building Permits page, and Codes & Ordinances page — none link a fee schedule document; (3) checked the civiclinq-hosted current Land Use Code (hosting.civiclinq.com/juabcounty) — same 'available at the Clerk's office' language, no fee table; (4) ran a Wayback CDX full-history search across co.juab.ut.us for any URL containing 'fee' — the only fee-schedule PDF ever captured (co.juab.ut.us/Files/FEES.pdf, captured through 2022) is the County Recorder/Surveyor's recording-fee schedule (document recording, plat filing, copies), not a Planning/Zoning or sign-permit fee; (5) searched County Commission agendas/minutes for a 'Fee Schedule' item — found only a bare Nov. 15, 2021 agenda line item with no dollar figures attached, in an Assessor/property-tax context. SECOND PASS (2026-07-20) tried further new avenues, still no dollar figure found: (6) ran a full Wayback CDX domain sweep of the CURRENT juabcounty.gov domain (not just the retired co.juab.ut.us) for every URL containing 'fee', 'resolution', 'planning', 'zoning', or 'sign' — turned up two 'PP Uniform Age Base Fee Schedules' PDFs (2024 and 2025) which are Assessor's Office personal-property valuation schedules, not a Planning/Zoning or sign-permit fee document, and dozens of individual Planning Commission and County Commission meeting agenda/minutes PDFs going back to 2021 with no fee-schedule resolution title among them; (7) searched specifically for a Juab County resolutions/ordinances archive page listing fee-schedule resolutions by number — none exists publicly; the county's Codes & Ordinances page (juabcounty.gov/government/codes-ordinances/) lists only the Land Use Code, General Plan, and Roadway Design and Construction Standards, no resolutions index. Juab County (Mountainland region) was also checked for a shared/regional planning fee schedule — no Mountainland Association of Governments fee-schedule-by-reference arrangement was found for Juab County's Planning & Zoning fees specifically.

Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm Permit
Required for the installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems and fire alarm systems in commercial and other applicable buildings on land in unincorporated Juab County, subject to Utah's statewide-adopted fire code enforced by local fire authorities under Utah Admin. Code R710-9 (Rules Pursuant to the Utah Fire Prevention and Safety Act). Juab County Planning and Zoning does not publish a distinct fire sprinkler or fire alarm permit application, checklist, or fee separate from its general Building Permit Application process. Notably, the county's own Building Permit Application form includes a dedicated 'Fire Marshall' signature line within its 'FOR DEPARTMENT USE ONLY' section — confirming the Juab (Special Service) Fire District reviews and signs off on building permits as a matter of practice — but no distinct sprinkler/alarm submittal packet, plan-review checklist, or fee schedule is published online by either the county or the fire district. Re-chased 2026-07-22: the retired co.juab.ut.us fire-district pages (reachable only via Wayback Machine, since the live co.juab.ut.us domain now refuses connections) cover only open-burning/closed-season air-quality regulations, not building-related fire-protection-system permitting. The Utah State Fire Marshal's Office assigns a regional deputy to Juab County (Rohn Peterson, covering Carbon, Emery, Grand, Juab, Nebo, Piute, North/South Sanpete, San Juan, Sevier, and Wayne counties per firemarshal.utah.gov/contact-us/), but that office's own materials scope its role in Juab County to 'Plan reviews for state-owned buildings, schools, and hospitals' — consistent with Utah Admin. Code R710-9-8, under which the State Fire Marshal's direct plan-review duty covers state-owned facilities, public/private schools, and (as a backstop only where the Local Fire Authority does not) other publicly-owned buildings, colleges, and institutional occupancies. R710-9-8 does not assign the State Fire Marshal a role in ordinary private commercial construction, so the SFM's statewide Automatic Fire Sprinkler Plan Submittal Form and Fire Alarm Submittal Form process cannot be confirmed as the applicable fallback for a typical private commercial sprinkler or alarm installation in unincorporated Juab County. This is a genuine documentation gap, not an omission — the Juab (Special Service) Fire District is the local fire authority most likely responsible for enforcement, but its own review process, checklist, and fee are not published anywhere online as of 2026-07-22.

Change of Use / Change of Occupancy Permit
Required when an existing building or structure in unincorporated Juab County undergoes a change of occupancy or change of occupancy classification, per the 2024 International Building Code (IBC) Section 111 (Certificate of Occupancy) and the 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) Chapter 10 (Change of Occupancy) — both adopted statewide under Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a) and (1)(i) respectively, and both already listed in this file's codesAdopted array. IBC Section 111.1 provides that 'a change of occupancy of a building or structure or portion thereof shall not be made... until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy therefor.' Juab County Planning and Zoning does not publish a distinct change-of-use or change-of-occupancy permit application, checklist, or fee separate from its general Building Permit Application process — an exhaustive search of juabcounty.gov as of 2026-07-22 (Building Permits page, Codes & Ordinances page, Planning and Zoning page) found no county-specific change-of-use materials, and the county's own Building Permit Application form offers no 'Change of Use' or 'Change of Occupancy' checkbox among its Type of Construction options (Residential, Electrical, Commercial/Industrial, Shed/Garage, Agricultural, Remodel/Addition, Other). The same form does state, in its applicant-certification language, that 'OCCUPANCY OF STRUCTURE IS PROHIBITED UNTIL AFTER FINAL INSPECTION AND CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY IS ISSUED' — confirming a Certificate of Occupancy is issued as part of the county's general Building Permit process, but not documenting a standalone process for a change of use/occupancy on an existing building absent new construction. A change-of-use project is presumed, absent contrary evidence, to be submitted through this same general Building Permit Application.
