Tips

  • Juab County Planning and Zoning does not publish a separate commercial-specific application, checklist, or fee table — the same Building Permit Application and valuation-based fee methodology documented for residential permits applies to commercial construction. Contact the department at (435) 623-3400 for a pre-application fee estimate on a specific commercial project.
  • The Utah Code § 17-36-55(3)(a) 14-business-day plan-review floor is written specifically for one-to-two-family dwellings and townhomes — it should not be assumed to govern commercial plan review in unincorporated Juab County without direct confirmation from the department.
