Electrical, Mechanical & Plumbing Permit in Holladay, Utah

Covers 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.

Tips

  • No public flat-dollar fee table exists for standalone electrical/mechanical/plumbing permits in Holladay (unlike Murray's published flat $100 fees for each trade) — call the Building Division (801-527-3890) for a project-specific quote.
  • The city's Inspection Guidelines & Codes page notes: tinted primer is required on all HVAC PVC joints — a specific local inspection requirement shared with neighboring Cottonwood Heights.
  • Installing a home EV charger (Level 2 / 240V) is treated as standard electrical work under this permit — Holladay has not published a distinct EV-charger fee line or checklist, so budget for a project-specific quote from the Building Division as with any other electrical work.
  • Rooftop solar panel installation is treated as standard electrical/alternative-energy work under this permit — Holladay's official Building FAQs page lists both 'Electrical (... generator, solar, ...)' and 'Alternative energy/heating (Solar panels, battery backup, ...)' among the categories of work requiring a permit, but publishes no distinct solar fee line or checklist. Budget for a project-specific quote from the Building Division, as with any other electrical work.
