Fee schedule

Appliance Permit (PRAP) — single appliance replacement (furnace, AC unit, etc.)

The fee schedule does not list a separate standalone mechanical base fee; single-appliance replacements use the Appliance permit. This gap persists across both the FY25-26 and FY26-27 schedules, confirming it is a genuine structural omission.

NOTE: South Jordan's own Building Department page currently lists these as two separate lines — 'Residential provisions of the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code' and 'Commercial provisions of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code' — which is itself an inconsistency on the city's part (the statute has no such split and no 2021 IECC provision remains in force for any use). 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 The prior 2021/2024 residential/commercial split is preserved below as historical/superseded city-page language only.; HISTORICAL (superseded 2026-07-01, city page not yet corrected as of 2026-07-16): South Jordan's page separately lists 'Residential provisions of the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code' and 'Commercial provisions of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code' — both superseded by the single 2024 IECC edition above.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle.
