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).

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.
