Commercial Building Permit in Unincorporated Millard County, Utah

Required for new commercial construction in unincorporated Millard County, regulated by the statewide-adopted 2024 IBC (Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective July 1, 2026). Millard County Building Department (Building Official Adam Richins) does not publish a distinct commercial building permit page, application form, or valuation-based fee schedule separate from the general process used for the Residential Building Permit — no published, dedicated commercial fee schedule appears on the county website, in any linked Building Forms PDF, or in the county's 2026 Adopted Budget, the same situation as for residential permits.

Tips

  • Millard County Building Department does not publish a dedicated commercial fee schedule online — this was confirmed by an exhaustive search of the county website, all linked Building Forms PDFs, and the county's 2026 Adopted Budget, mirroring the identical gap already documented for the county's Residential Building Permit. Call the Building Official (435-864-1400) directly for a project-specific commercial fee estimate.
  • The county's published fee schedule DOES distinguish a commercial rate from residential for one specific permit type — the standalone Electrical Permit ($75 commercial/pivot vs. $45 residential) — suggesting the county is capable of publishing commercial-specific rates but has simply not done so for the core Building Permit Fee.
  • Millard County Building Department also performs Delta City's building inspections under a 2020 interlocal arrangement — a commercial project in Delta may be reviewed by the same county staff; Fillmore City is NOT covered and continues to use Sunrise Engineering.

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.
