The single governing edition per the statute is 2024 IECC, statewide, for all uses. The prior 2021/2024 residential/commercial split is preserved below as historical/superseded city-page language only.HISTORICAL (superseded 2026-07-01, city page not yet corrected as of 2026-07-16): South Jordan's page separately lists 'Residential provisions of the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code' and 'Commercial provisions of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code' — both superseded by the single 2024 IECC edition above.2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle.

Sign Permit
VerifiedRequired for signs in South Jordan City. South Jordan runs a dual-fee sign permit structure: a Planning Department 'Sign Permit' fee (zoning/design compliance) and a separate valuation-based 'Building Permit Sign (PRSG)' fee (structural/electrical review), confirmed by a direct visual read of the city's FY 2026-2027 Fee Schedule PDF after pdftotext's column extraction badly misaligned the Planning Fees table. Per City Code, no sign requiring a permit may be constructed, reconstructed, remodeled, relocated, or altered without first obtaining the required permits or approvals from the city.

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedSouth Jordan does not publish a distinct EV-charger/EVSE fee category. Installing electric vehicle charging equipment (a dedicated 240V circuit and, for larger commercial installs, a service/panel change) is electrical work regulated under the city's general Electrical Permit, billed via the Building Permit Electrical Only (PREL) fee on the FY 2026-2027 Fee Schedule. This is confirmed directly by South Jordan's own electrical-permit entry, which explicitly states EV charger/EVSE installation falls under the general Electrical Permit and that the FY 2026-2027 Fee Schedule carries no EV-specific line item.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Installation of a Level 2 or DC fast EV charger (EVSE) at a residential or commercial property
- New dedicated 240V circuit and/or electrical panel capacity to serve the charger
- Governed by the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by South Jordan
Required documents
- RequiredPermit ApplicationApply via the CityView portal at cityview.southjordanutah.gov/CityViewPortal, filed as an Electrical Only permit.
- OptionalElectrical Plan / Single-Line DiagramPanel schedule and circuit layout showing the EVSE circuit, required for panel or service-capacity changes.

Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm Permit
VerifiedSouth Jordan runs fire sprinkler and fire alarm plan review as a single South Jordan Fire Department process, billed under the Fire Department Fees section of the city's fee schedule rather than as its own line item in the Building & Engineering Fees section. It is not a freestanding permit application in CityView — it runs alongside the associated building permit (new commercial construction, commercial tenant improvement, or residential construction) but is reviewed and inspected by the Fire Department, and its own inspection sign-off is required before the Fire Department will approve the Certificate of Occupancy checklist. No distinct 'fire alarm' fee line separate from the sprinkler line was found published; South Jordan does not publish a separate fire-alarm-only fee, so alarm work is treated as part of this same fire-protection review.
Verified 2026-07-22 · Source
Requirements
- New commercial automatic fire sprinkler system installation
- New or modified commercial fire alarm/detection system
- Modifications to existing fire suppression or alarm coverage within a commercial tenant improvement scope
- Residential fire sprinkler system installation (e.g., townhomes or other occupancies requiring sprinklers under the adopted building code)
- Governed by Utah Code Title 15A Chapter 5 (State Fire Code Act) and the fire-protection provisions of the adopted 2024 International Building Code (IBC)
Required documents
- RequiredFire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm PlansSubmitted to the South Jordan Fire Department alongside the associated building permit application (Commercial PRNR, Commercial Tenant Improvement PRCR, or residential permit) — South Jordan's Building Department page does not publish a separate fire-specific submittal checklist distinct from its general commercial checklists

Both figures are real, published numbers on this fee line; only their precise base-fee-vs-re-inspection-fee assignment could not be resolved with full certainty.

Certificate of Occupancy / Change of Use
VerifiedSouth Jordan does not publish a standalone 'change of use' permit product under that name. Its own primary-source documents — the 'SJC Certificate of Occupancy Commercial Checklist – New Building' and 'SJC Certificate of Occupancy Commercial Checklist Tenant Improvement Finish' (both fetched and confirmed live 2026-07-22) — establish that the city's actual terminology and process is 'Certificate of Occupancy': a multi-department sign-off checklist that must be completed and signed by authorized personnel before a space (new building or tenant space) may be occupied, presented to the South Jordan City Building Inspector at final inspection. A pure change of use in an existing space (no construction) is handled through this same checklist process plus an updated Business License reflecting the new use, rather than a distinct permit type.
Verified 2026-07-22 · Source
Requirements
- Required before occupying any new commercial building or completed commercial tenant improvement space
- New Building checklist requires sign-off from Community Development, Fire, Engineering, Public Works, UPDES (SWPPP), Utility Billing, and Business Licensing, plus applicable outside agencies
- Tenant Improvement Finish checklist requires sign-off from Fire, Utility Billing, and Business Licensing, plus applicable outside agencies
- Applicable outside-agency sign-offs (State Elevator Inspector, State Boiler Inspector, Special Inspection Agency, Salt Lake County Environmental Health, Jordan Basin Improvement District) where the project scope requires them
- A change in use/occupancy classification of an existing space (with or without construction) requires an updated Business License reflecting the actual use, and — where the new use changes the IBC/IEBC occupancy classification — plan review under the adopted 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC)
