Taylorsville building permits
VerifiedTaylorsville, Utah — as published 2026-07-16.
Verified 2026-06-30 · Source
Codes adopted
2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026. Confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (taylorsvilleut.gov/government/building-department, re-fetched 2026-07-16), which itself now states the current statewide code table verbatim: '2024 I.B.C., 2021 I.R.C., 2024 I.P.C., 2024 I.M.C., 2024 I.F.G.C., 2024 I.E.C.C., 2023 N.E.C.' Supersedes the 2021 IBC, which governed through 6/30/2026.2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle — confirmed both by the live statute and by Taylorsville's own building page (re-fetched 2026-07-16, listing '2021 I.R.C.').2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (re-fetched 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IPC, which governed through 6/30/2026.2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (re-fetched 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IMC, which governed through 6/30/2026.2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (re-fetched 2026-07-16). Supersedes the 2021 IFGC, which governed through 6/30/2026.2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, confirmed live on the Taylorsville Building Department page (re-fetched 2026-07-16). ONE statewide edition — the statute does not split residential/commercial IECC editions. Supersedes the 2021 IECC, which governed through 6/30/2026.2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 code cycle statewide. CORRECTION (2026-07-20, supersedes the 2026-07-16 note below): the 07-16 edit claimed Taylorsville's page had been updated to 'correctly' list 2023 N.E.C. and that the prior 2020-NEC lag was resolved — that was wrong. The page genuinely contradicts itself and still does as of this re-check: a summary table near the top states the statewide-adopted codes verbatim ('2024 I.B.C., 2021 I.R.C., 2024 I.P.C., 2024 I.M.C., 2024 I.F.G.C., 2024 I.E.C.C., 2023 N.E.C.'), but the page's own FAQ section separately answers 'What codes and standards does the building department use?' with: 'Currently we are using the 2021 I-codes with 2017 A.N.S.I. 117.1 as the accessibility standard, and the 2020 National Electrical Code.' Confirmed via a 2026-07-08 Wayback snapshot (predating the 07-16 edit) already showing that exact FAQ text, and independently re-confirmed live 2026-07-20 — the page has not changed; the 07-16 edit simply picked one side of an internal contradiction and declared it resolved. Reported here as-is rather than guessing which statement the department actually enforces in practice.NOTE (2026-07-20, supersedes the 2026-07-16 corpus-staleness note below): the IBC/IRC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC lines above match the page's top summary table verbatim, independently re-confirmed 2026-07-20. But that table is not the whole story — see the NEC line's correction above for the page's separate, contradicting FAQ answer, which claims the department is 'currently using' the 2021 I-codes generally (not just for NEC). Treat every 'current as of 7/1/2026' framing above as citing the summary table specifically, not as a claim that Taylorsville's practice has been independently confirmed to match it. The International Fire Code (IFC) is not adopted anywhere in §15A-2-103 and is not listed on Taylorsville's page either — that part of the original 07-16 note still holds.

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedTaylorsville does not publish a distinct EV-charger/EVSE fee category. Installing electric vehicle charging equipment (a Level 2 EVSE circuit or, for a larger install, a service/panel change) is electrical work and falls under the city's Electrical Service Permit, billed at the same flat fee as other electrical service work on the Consolidated Fee Schedule. This is confirmed directly by Taylorsville's own electrical-permit entry, which explicitly states installing a Level 2 home EV charger requires this same Electrical Permit at the flat fee and that the city does not publish a separate EV-charger permit type or fee.

Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm Permit
Taylorsville does not have its own fire prevention bureau — fire protection system plan review and permitting is handled entirely by Unified Fire Authority (UFA), which is confirmed to serve the City of Taylorsville (unifiedfireut.gov/city/taylorsville-city/). Per International Fire Code § 105.1.1 as enforced by UFA, installing or modifying an automatic fire sprinkler system or a fire alarm/detection system requires a permit from the fire code official before work begins. UFA publishes separate submittal guides for sprinkler and alarm systems but processes both under the same Plan Reviews program and permit-required framework, so they are combined here as one permit category.

Requirements
- Installation or modification of an automatic fire sprinkler system (fire protection system) in a Taylorsville building
- Installation or modification of a fire alarm and detection system and related equipment
- Projects with 20 or more sprinkler heads, or 5 or more alarm/notification appliances, additionally require a third-party 'technical opinion and report' (peer review) of the plans per International Fire Code § 104.7.2, as enforced by UFA
- Work must not begin before permit issuance and plan approval — per UFA, starting work early is at the contractor's own risk and no special allowances are granted

Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm Plan Review & Permit | Not publicly published | Exhausted chase: UFA's Plan Reviews page (unifiedfireut.gov/prevention/plan-reviews/, fetched 2026-07-22) describes the permit and peer-review requirements but publishes no fee amount or fee-schedule table. UFA's '/prevention/fees/' path returns a 404, and UFA's 'Make a Payment' page (unifiedfireut.gov/make-a-payment/) lists no itemized fees. Taylorsville's own Consolidated Fee Schedule (Revised & Approved March 19, 2026, fetched 2026-07-22) — which covers city-issued permits — contains no fire-sprinkler or fire-alarm line item either, consistent with fire prevention permitting being handled entirely by UFA, a separate agency from the city. This matches the known corpus pattern for UFA-member jurisdictions: no public sprinkler/alarm fee schedule. A similarly-formatted fee table found via web search (utah.gov/pmn/files/600467.pdf, listing Fire Alarm/Sprinkler plan-review and permit fees) was deliberately NOT used here — that document's later pages are headed 'WEBER FIRE DISTRICT,' a different fire agency serving Weber County, not Salt Lake County/Taylorsville, so it would misattribute another agency's fees to UFA. |
Change of Use Permit
VerifiedTaylorsville does not publish a standalone 'change of use' permit product or fee. A change of use — a new or replacement business, or a different use type, occupying an existing commercial space — is processed through the city's standard Business License application (submitted via the EnerGov Self-Service portal), which routes to the Planning and Zoning Division for a land-use/zoning fit review, plus the Building Division, Police Department, Unified Fire Authority, and Salt Lake Valley Health Department for their respective sign-offs. If the new use requires physical tenant improvements, a separate valuation-based Building Permit and a Certificate of Occupancy are additionally required before business operations may begin — see the Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit entry.

- Passing a Unified Fire Authority onsite inspection, required for all commercial businesses
- If tenant improvements are involved: a separate Building Permit and Certificate of Occupancy prior to commencing business operations (see Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit)
Required documents
