Permitted Use Permit (P-1 / P-2) — Change or Establishment of Land Use in Unincorporated Millard County, Utah

Millard County requires a Permitted Use Permit before a use may be established or changed on a property in unincorporated Millard County — including changing a building's occupancy/use without new construction (e.g., a use that differs from the property's prior permitted use). Per the P-1 application form itself: 'Only when the county planner/zoning administrator has approved the permitted P-1 use... and a building permit issued, as required, may any building, activity, construction, or occupancy be commenced.' Reviewed under Millard County Code Title 10, Chapter 8. Uses permitted outright in a zoning district go through the lower-tier P-1 process (reviewed administratively by the County Planner/Zoning Administrator); uses requiring more scrutiny go through the P-2 Conditional Use Permit process. This is a zoning-authority use-permitting mechanism, distinct from and required in addition to any building permit.

    Tips

    • This is a ZONING use-authorization permit, separate from and required in addition to a building permit — per the P-1 form itself, occupancy may not commence until BOTH the P-1/P-2 use permit is approved AND a building permit (if required) is issued.
    • A use that is 'After the Fact' (i.e., already established without prior approval) is charged double the standard fee — $170.00 versus $85.00 for Commercial P-1, and $260.00 versus $130.00 for P-2 — per the Millard County Land Use Fee Schedule.
    • The same P-1 application form doubles as the county's Sign Permit application (see this file's sign-permit entry) — check the 'P-1 Use' or 'P-1 Sign' box at the top of the form depending on which is being applied for.
    • Whether a specific change of use requires the lower-tier P-1 (administrative approval by the County Planner/Zoning Administrator) or the higher-tier P-2 Conditional Use Permit depends on how that use is classified in the zoning district's Table of Uses (Title 10, Section 10-25-1, Appendix A) — confirm with Planning and Zoning, (435) 864-1400, before applying.

NOTE (2026-07-16, live-checked): the Millard County Building Inspection Department page still lists 2021 IBC — the county page is lagging the statewide statutory update by 15+ days; the statute is controlling.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) with State of Utah Amendments — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective since July 1, 2026, superseding the 2021 IPC.

Contractors/homeowners should confirm current applicability with the Building Official as the county page lags the statewide amendment.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) with State of Utah Amendments — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective since July 1, 2026, superseding the 2021 IFGC.

Not separately listed on the Millard County Building Inspection Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16, page has no IEBC entry at all) — added here because § 15A-2-103 adopts it statewide regardless of the county page's omission.; 2024 residential provisions of the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), effective since July 1, 2026. Not separately listed on the Millard County Building Inspection Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16, page has no ISPSC entry at all) — added here because § 15A-2-103 adopts it statewide regardless of the county page's omission.; Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code; NOTE (updated 2026-07-16): The July 1, 2026 statewide code-edition transition (2024 IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC replacing 2021 editions, per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days ago; the next statute version's editions were diffed and confirmed identical, so this should not go stale again around 1/1/2027. 2021 IRC is unchanged by this transition. The International Fire Code is NOT adopted by § 15A-2-103 (it is addressed separately in Title 15A Chapter 5) and is not otherwise referenced in this file..

    Yes. Millard County requires a Permitted Use Permit (P-1, or P-2 if the use is a conditional use) before a new or changed use may be established, per Millard County Code Title 10, Chapter 8. The P-1 form states occupancy may not commence until both the use permit is approved and a required building permit is issued. Fees are $85.00 for a Commercial P-1 (or $130.00 for a P-2 Conditional Use Permit), doubled to $170.00/$260.00 if the use was already established without prior approval ('After the Fact').

    No. The P-1/P-2 Permitted Use Permit is a zoning-authority approval confirming the proposed use is allowed (or conditionally allowed) in that zoning district; a building permit is a separate requirement administered by the Building Department for any construction, alteration, or occupancy work. Per the P-1 application: both must be obtained, as required, before occupancy may begin.
