Sign Permit in Holladay, Utah

Holladay 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.

Tips

  • Holladay has not published a distinct sign permit application, checklist, or fee — confirmed by checking the Building Division page, Building FAQs page, Construction Submittal Requirements page, the Building Permit application form, and the Consolidated Fee Schedule PDF. 'Signs (wall, monument, pole and billboard)' is listed only as a category requiring a permit, not as a separate process.
  • Sign design, placement, size, and quantity standards are set by Holladay City Code Chapter 13.82 (Signs) — the ordinance's full text could not be independently retrieved here (codelibrary.amlegal.com returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch); confirm current sign standards directly with the Building Division (801-527-3890) or Planning Division (801-527-3890 / planning@holladayut.gov) before submitting.
  • Budget for a Building B.O.V. fee component (for any structural sign-mounting work) and, for illuminated signs, an Electrical fee component — call the Building Division (801-527-3890) for a project-specific quote, since no flat-dollar figure is published for either.
  • Apply through the same iWorq portal (holladay.portal.iworq.net) used for building, electrical, and other permit types — there is no separate sign-permit portal or form.
