    Tips

    • Murray fee-classifies signs as either 'Attached Signs' or 'Pole Signs' on its Building Permit Fee sheet, each with a different Plan Review Fee percentage (10% vs. 65%) on top of the valuation-based Building Permit Fee.
    • Both sign fee categories are listed under the Commercial column only (residential is N/A) — signs in Murray are processed as commercial permits regardless of the type of business.
    • All permit applications go through eProcess 360; credit card payments are accepted up to $5,000, with larger amounts requiring a check paid in person at Murray City Hall Building Division.
    • Confirm current valuation-based rates with the Building Division at (801) 270-2431, since these are percentage-of-valuation fees rather than flat dollar amounts.

Also confirmed directly against Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027) at le.utah.gov.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.
