Fee schedule
Appliance Permit (PRAP) — single appliance replacement (furnace, AC unit, etc.)South Jordan FY 2026-2027 Fee Schedule (PRAP), sjc.utah.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5594/FY-25-26-Fee-Schedule-PDF (document at this URL rolled over to the FY26-27 schedule effective the 2026-07-01 fiscal year start; confirmed by direct PDF render — page 3). 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. Contact South Jordan Building at (801) 446-4357 to confirm the correct permit type for larger HVAC projects.

South Jordan, Utah has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendix E and Q — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle. Confirmed live on the South Jordan Building Department page (sjc.utah.gov/266/Building-Department, re-fetched 2026-07-16), which lists '2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendix E and Q.'; 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n) (residential provisions); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026.

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 The prior 2021/2024 residential/commercial split is preserved below as historical/superseded city-page language only.; HISTORICAL (superseded 2026-07-01, city page not yet corrected as of 2026-07-16): South Jordan's page separately lists 'Residential provisions of the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code' and 'Commercial provisions of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code' — both superseded by the single 2024 IECC edition above.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle.

Re-fetched live 2026-07-16 via browser: South Jordan's Building Department page HAS since been updated by the city to display 2024 IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IEBC/ISPSC verbatim (plus unchanged 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC) — South Jordan is essentially current with the statewide mandate, with the sole exception of its uncorrected residential/commercial IECC split noted above. The International Fire Code (IFC) is not adopted anywhere in Utah Code § 15A-2-103 and is not listed on South Jordan's page either.. Local amendments apply — see the South Jordan overview page for the full list.
