Residential Building Permit (New Dwelling / Remodel)
VerifiedRequired for new single-family residential construction and residential remodels regulated by the 2021 IRC and the 2024 IBC (current statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103, effective 7/1/2026; Holladay's own Inspection Guidelines & Codes page still lists the 2021 IBC as of live-check 2026-07-16, but the statute controls). Holladay uses a valuation-based (Based on Valuation / BOV) fee model tied to the 1997 Uniform Administrative Code Table 3-A, administered case-by-case by an in-house city Building Official (Rob Sears) rather than a published flat-dollar fee table.

No further public dollar-figure table was located; the city directs applicants to call the Building Division (801-527-3890) for a specific cost estimate. Left as the cited formula rather than an invented dollar amount. |
| 1% Building Surcharge | 1% of the building fee, split 85%/15% between two accounting line items (per the official Building Permit application form's office-use fee section) | Per the city's official Building Permit application form fee breakdown; no further public explanation of the 85/15 split purpose was located. |
Electrical, Mechanical & Plumbing Permit
VerifiedCovers standalone or combined electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work in Holladay. The city's official Building Permit application form lists these as separate itemized fee lines assessed alongside the Building B.O.V. Fee, but no public flat-dollar or percentage figure is published for these trade fees. EV charger/EVSE installation is electrical work and falls under this general Electrical fee line; the city has not published a distinct EV-specific permit, fee, or process. Rooftop solar panel installation is likewise not a distinct permit type in Holladay: the city's official Building FAQs page lists 'Electrical (service upgrade, meter change, new branch circuits, backup power; generator, solar, all new exterior lighting etc.)' and, separately, 'Alternative energy/heating (Solar panels, battery backup, ground source heat/cooling, etc.)' among the work categories requiring a permit, with no separate solar fee line or process published anywhere on the Building Division, FAQs, or Construction Submittal Requirements pages — solar installs are budgeted using the same Electrical Fee line as other electrical work.

Solar PV / Solar Panel Installation Permit
VerifiedHolladay does not publish a distinct solar/solar-PV permit, application, checklist, or fee. The city's official Building FAQs page lists 'Alternative energy/heating (Solar panels, battery backup, ground source heat/cooling, etc.)' as its own itemized category under 'What Work Requires A Permit?', confirming a permit is required for solar installations, but the Building Division's Construction Submittal Requirements page publishes no solar-specific plan-submittal category or checklist PDF (only residential single-family, supplemental residential, and commercial/multi-family categories are listed), and neither the Consolidated Fee Schedule ordinance nor the Building Permit application form itemize a solar-specific fee line. As with EV chargers, a solar installation is instead billed using the general fee architecture already on the office-use fee breakdown: the Building Permit Fee (Based on Valuation, for any structural roof-mounting/racking work) and/or the Electrical Fee (for PV wiring and grid interconnection), per project. No evidence was found that Holladay participates in SolarAPP+ (the national automated instant-permitting platform for residential solar) — SolarAPP+'s own public materials list no Utah jurisdictions as participants as of this verification.

Holladay's Construction Submittal Requirements page explicitly lists 'New commercial or multi-family building' as its own plan-submittal category, distinct from residential single-family plans. As with the Residential Building Permit, Holladay uses a valuation-based (Based on Valuation / BOV) fee model tied to the 1997 Uniform Administrative Code Table 3-A rather than a published flat-dollar fee table — no separate commercial-only dollar figures are published.

Fire Sprinkler System Permit
VerifiedFire protection system permitting in Holladay is handled by Unified Fire Authority (UFA), a special fire district separate from the Holladay Building Division. Holladay City is listed among UFA's member communities. UFA requires a permit for installation or modification of any automatic fire sprinkler system, plus mandatory third-party peer review of the design (except for minor work below specific device-count thresholds). UFA itself charges no permit fee for this — confirmed against UFA's own FY26/27 Adopted Budget, which itemizes the Fire Prevention division's entire fee revenue as Hazardous Materials & Tank Permits, Firewatch Reimbursements, and Fireworks Permits only. The applicant instead pays a privately-set fee directly to one of UFA's approved third-party peer-review firms.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Permit required from the fire code official (UFA) before beginning work on any fire protection system, per International Fire Code Section 105.1.1 — beginning work before permit issuance and plan approval is done at the contractor's own risk
- Fire Sprinkler System plans must be submitted to a UFA-approved Third Party Review company before final submittal to UFA (ufaplansubmittal@unifiedfire.org)
- Third-party peer review required for automatic fire sprinkler system installation/modification, EXCEPT: installation of fire hydrants/underground supply lines, pre-engineered kitchen hood suppression systems, or installation/relocation of fewer than 20 sprinkler heads
- System designer must be NICET Level III (Water-Based Fire Protection Systems Layout) or better, a Fire Protection Engineer, or a licensed engineer with specific additional fire protection training
- Design and installation per the most recent NFPA 13, 13-R, or 13-D adopted by the State of Utah
- Systems with 20 or more sprinkler heads (with limited 13-D/13-R exceptions) require off-site remote monitoring from an approved monitoring company
Required documents
- RequiredFire Sprinkler System PlansWorking plans drawn to scale with a plan of each floor, manufacturer cut sheets, and hydraulic calculations, per UFA's Automatic Fire Sprinkler System Submittal guide. Plans must show the designer's NICET certification number and signature, or engineer stamp and signature.

No fire sprinkler or fire alarm permit fee line item exists anywhere in that revenue breakdown, confirming UFA itself does not bill a permit fee for these systems. |
| Third-Party Peer Review Fee (paid to private reviewer, not UFA) | Not published — set independently by each approved third-party reviewer | UFA's 'Peer Review for Fire Protection Systems' roster (unifiedfireut.gov/wp-content/uploads/Peer-Review-for-Fire-Protection-Systems-4.25.pdf) lists 10 UFA-approved private engineering firms/individuals (e.g., Protection Consultants Inc., Spectrum Engineers, Impact Fire Protection) and instructs applicants to 'submit plans to the company of your choice' — UFA does not set, collect, or publish this fee since it is a private commercial transaction between the applicant and the reviewer they select. |
Sign Permit
VerifiedHolladay does not publish a distinct sign permit application, checklist, or fee. The city's official Building FAQs page lists 'Signs (wall, monument, pole and billboard)' as its own itemized category under 'What Work Requires A Permit?', confirming a permit is required, but the Building Division's Construction Submittal Requirements page publishes no sign-specific plan-submittal category (only residential single-family, supplemental residential, and commercial/multi-family categories are listed), and neither the Consolidated Fee Schedule ordinance nor the Building Permit application form itemize a sign-specific fee line. Sign design, placement, size, and quantity standards are separately governed by Holladay City Code Chapter 13.82 (Signs), referenced via the city's official code index at codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/holladayut — full ordinance text could not be rendered directly (codelibrary.amlegal.com returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch, consistent with the same block already noted for § 13.08.100 elsewhere in this file), so only the chapter's existence and title are asserted here, not its full text. Sign work is instead billed using the same general fee architecture already on the office-use fee breakdown: the Building Permit Fee (Based on Valuation, per the 1997 Uniform Administrative Code Table 3-A) for structural sign work (e.g., monument/pole sign foundations), and/or the Electrical Fee for illuminated signs, per project.

- Online application via the city's iWorq Building Permit Application portal (holladay.portal.iworq.net) — the city does not accept applications without accompanying plans
- Design, placement, size, and quantity of the sign must conform to Holladay City Code Chapter 13.82 (Signs), referenced by the city's official AmLegal code index (full text not independently verified here due to a 403 response from automated fetch)

| Building Permit Fee — Based on Valuation (BOV) | Determined per project valuation using the 1997 Uniform Administrative Code, Table 3-A | Applies to any structural component of a sign installation (e.g., monument or pole sign foundations), using the same valuation-based formula as every other building permit type in Holladay. No sign-specific dollar figure is published. City of Holladay official Building FAQs page: 'Fees are based on the valuation of the project as per 1997 Uniform Administrative Code, Table 3-A.' |
| Electrical Fee (covers illuminated sign wiring, where applicable) | Not publicly itemized — assessed per project at permit issuance | The city's official Building Permit application form lists 'Electrical' as a distinct fee line in the office-use fee breakdown; illuminated-sign wiring is billed under this same line, per the same fee architecture used for EV chargers and solar PV wiring elsewhere in this file. No public dollar figure or percentage formula for this line was located on the Building Division, FAQs, Construction Submittal Requirements, or Consolidated Fee Schedule pages. Contact 801-527-3890 for a project-specific quote. |
Change of Use Permit (Conditional Use Application) / Change of Occupancy
VerifiedUnlike EV chargers, solar, and standalone signage, Holladay DOES publish a distinct, governing dollar figure for a change of use: the city's Consolidated Fee Schedule (Holladay City Code § 3.35.070, 'Conditional Use Permit Application') itemizes 'Change of use ... $100.00' as its own line item, separate from Residential use, Commercial/industrial, Home occupation, Conditional use amendment, and Mobile store line items in the same section — confirmed directly against the fee schedule PDF (cms3.revize.com/revize/cityofholladay/fee%20schedule.pdf), Section 3.35.070. This $100 fee applies where a proposed change of use requires Planning Commission conditional-use review and approval under Holladay City Code Title 13 (Land Use and Development), administered by the Planning and Zoning Division — a distinct process and department from the Building Division's building-permit review. Separately, the city's official Business Licensing page states that 'if you have a change of location to a new building or change of occupancy at a building, the proper building permits must be obtained and approved before the application for a business license may be obtained and granted' — meaning a change of occupancy independently triggers the standard Building Division commercial-building or tenant-improvement permit review (see those entries in this file) before a business license can issue. A further, separate $35 business-license fee ('New location transfer' per the fee schedule's General Business License Fee Schedule, § 3.35.110; called the 'Change of Location Form' fee on the Business Licensing page) applies to updating the business license record itself and is paid to Economic Development, not the Building or Planning Division.

Requirements
- Planning Commission conditional-use review and approval under Holladay City Code Title 13, where the proposed new use of a property is not permitted outright in the applicable zone — per the Consolidated Fee Schedule's 'Change of use' line item under § 3.35.070 (Conditional Use Permit Application)
- Public notice mailed to surrounding neighbors and public comment heard at a Planning Commission meeting, per the city's official Planning and Zoning Division page; the Commission may approve with mitigating conditions or deny if anticipated detrimental effects cannot be mitigated to city standards
- Separately and in addition: per the city's official Business Licensing page, any change of location to a new building or change of occupancy at a building requires the proper building permits (commercial building or tenant-improvement permit, reviewed by the Building Division) to be obtained and approved BEFORE a business license application can be granted
- A business license 'New location transfer' (Change of Location Form) must also be filed with Economic Development to update the license record when a business changes location or occupancy — a separate administrative step from both the Planning Commission conditional-use review and the Building Division permit
Required documents
- RequiredConditional Use Permit Application (Planning and Zoning Division)Filed with the Planning and Zoning Division (801-527-3890 / planning@holladayut.gov) for a proposed change of use requiring conditional-use approval under Title 13; the city directs applicants to contact the Planning Department to confirm the correct application before submitting, per the Planning Division's official FAQs page.
- OptionalBuilding Permit Application (City of Holladay form / iWorq portal) — where occupancy/use change requires building workRequired separately per the Business Licensing page's statement that a change of occupancy at a building requires the proper building permits, approved before a business license can be granted; processed the same as the Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit entries in this file.

Fire Alarm and Detection System Permit
VerifiedFire alarm system permitting in Holladay is handled by Unified Fire Authority (UFA), separate from the Holladay Building Division. UFA requires a plan submittal and permit for all new commercial fire alarm installations and for additions or modifications to existing systems, with mandatory third-party peer review for systems where more than five horns/strobes are added or relocated. UFA itself charges no permit fee for this — confirmed against UFA's own FY26/27 Adopted Budget, which itemizes the Fire Prevention division's entire fee revenue as Hazardous Materials & Tank Permits, Firewatch Reimbursements, and Fireworks Permits only. The applicant instead pays a privately-set fee directly to one of UFA's approved third-party peer-review firms.

Only required where more than five horns/strobes are added or relocated. |
