Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027) at le.utah.gov matches. 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.; 1997 Uniform Administrative Code (ISSN 0896-9698, International Conference of Building Officials) — adopted by reference at Murray City Code Sec. 15.08.010(A), with the amendments listed in localAmendments. This is the administrative/fee-procedure code that governs permit issuance, valuation and the fee tables; it is separate from the state-mandated technical construction codes above.

(Ord. 17-31) Murray City Code Title 15 Chapters 15.04 and 15.08.; Sec. 15.04.010 is the local hook for the statewide codes listed above: 'Pursuant to title 15A of Utah Code Annotated, and administrative rulemaking authority, the State of Utah has adopted Statewide uniform technical construction codes which include, as amended by the State, without limitation, the International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code, International Fuel Gas Code and the National Electrical Code, which are, by State law, in force in Murray City.' (Ord. 17-31) Murray City Code Sec. 15.04.010 names no edition years itself — the editions come from Utah Code Title 15A. Source: Murray City Code Title 15, Chapters 15.04 and 15.08, on codelibrary.amlegal.com.; Murray City Code Chapter 15.08 adopts three further codes by reference that are easy to miss: the 1997 Uniform Administrative Code, the 1997 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings (UCADB), and the ICBO Seismic Retrofit Guidelines. Sec. 15.08.030(C)(2) also sets the plan-review fee in codified text at 65 percent of the building permit fee, so that rate governs the permit types priced against it.. Local amendments apply — see the Murray overview page for the full list.

Per Murray's official Commercial Tenant Improvement checklist, submittals require Community Development (Planning & Zoning) approval, a completed Building Permit Application with contractor license numbers, a building code analysis, floor plans showing new vs. existing construction and specific area uses, electrical plans (lighting, fire alarms, exit signage), and mechanical plans (fixture locations, exhaust fans, damper locations).
