Tips

  • Murray's Building Division office is open Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (no Friday closure, unlike Provo).
  • Murray transitioned from the legacy Munis system to eProcess 360 — permit numbers starting with 'E' must have inspections requested online at murray.ut.eprocess360.com; older (non-'E') permits still use the phone line at (801) 270-2431, option 1.
  • The Certificate of Occupancy Requirements form must be submitted only by the General Contractor of record — no one else is authorized to submit it, per the official form.
  • Murray uses its own valuation-based building permit fee table (not the 1997 UBC chart used by Provo) — see the ICC Building Valuation Data, February 2026, for per-square-foot construction costs by occupancy group.

NOTE: Murray's own city notice does not separately enumerate the IFGC (it lists IBC, IPC, IMC, IEBC, IECC, and NEC only) — this entry is sourced directly from the statute, which applies statewide regardless of whether a given city's own notice names it.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — per Murray's Notice of Building Code Adoption (effective July 1, 2026); Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); superseded the 2021 IEBC that had been in effect since July 1, 2023; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), as amended by the State of Utah — per Murray's Notice of Building Code Adoption (effective July 1, 2026); Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); superseded the 2021 IECC that had been in effect since July 1, 2023; 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), residential provisions — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. NOTE: Murray's own city notice does not separately enumerate the ISPSC — this entry is sourced directly from the statute, which applies statewide regardless of whether a given city's own notice names it.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per Murray City Building Division page, adopted and unchanged by the July 1, 2026 update; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); NOTE (verified 2026-07-16): Confirmed directly against Murray's own live 'Notice of Building Code Adoption' banner (murray.utah.gov/167/Building-Division, effective date July 1, 2026), which lists the 2024 IBC, IPC, IMC, IEBC, and IECC (Utah-amended), the 2023 NEC, and states the IRC 'will remain 2021.' Also confirmed directly against Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027) at le.utah.gov.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.
