Tips

  • Murray requires Planning & Zoning project approval (or Planning Commission scheduling) before the Building Department will accept a new commercial building submittal for plan review.
  • Murray's Building Permit Fees table is explicitly titled 'Building Permit Fees, Commercial/Residential' — it is one shared valuation-based schedule, not separate residential and commercial tables.
  • Restaurant plans require Salt Lake County Health Department approval before the building permit can be issued.
  • Murray's own New Commercial Building Permit Requirements checklist (updated 9/16/24) still cites the 2021 IBC and 2021 IECC as design criteria — the city's own Notice of Building Code Adoption confirms the 2024 IBC and 2024 IECC are current as of July 1, 2026, so verify current code edition directly with the Building Division (801-270-2431).

Also confirmed directly against Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027) at le.utah.gov. CAUTION: the same Murray page also retains an older, unremoved 'Overview' paragraph further down stating 'As of July 1st 2023, the state of Utah has adopted the 2021 I Codes and the 2023 NEC' — that leftover sentence is stale and contradicts the page's own current banner; see tipsAndGotchas for this discrepancy.. Local amendments apply — see the Murray overview page for the full list.
