Residential Building Permit in Richfield, Utah

Tips

• Richfield's Building and Zoning Department office is in the basement of City Hall, 75 East Center Street, open Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, per the city's official FAQ page.
• No bond is required at the time of a Building Permit, per Richfield's official FAQ.
• Richfield does not publish a distinct solar/photovoltaic permit, checklist, or fee — a rooftop or ground-mounted solar PV installation involves electrical work and therefore falls under this general Building Permit per the city's official FAQ ('A Building permit is generally needed if any structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical changes or additions will be made'). No solar-specific mention was found on richfieldut.gov's Forms & Applications or FAQ pages after a direct check (2026-07-19).
• Large-scope projects (house, garage, commercial) are filed online through the utah.cityinspect.com portal; small-scope projects (fence, shed) use a separate DocHub-hosted paper-style form — check richfieldut.gov/forms-applications for the current link before applying, since Richfield operates a two-track intake system rather than a single unified application.
• No dedicated building-permit fee amount could be independently verified: Richfield's official fee-bearing documents (the 'Small Building Permit' PDF and the 'Impact Fees' PDF, both linked from richfieldut.gov/forms-applications) are hosted on DocHub, a client-side JavaScript viewer that blocks unauthenticated automated extraction of the underlying PDF content (no download/export endpoint is publicly reachable), and no city fee-schedule or budget PDF was found on richfieldut.gov, in Wayback Machine history for the domain, or via site search for 'fee schedule' or 'budget'. Fees field is intentionally left empty rather than fabricated. Re-chased 2026-07-23 via genuinely new avenues, all unsuccessful: DocHub's own API (/api/documents/{id}/download, /export, /pdf, /pages) returns the identical 5,283-byte document-metadata JSON on every one of those paths, confirming no directly fetchable PDF/image asset exists outside DocHub's authenticated viewer; a Wayback Machine CDX sweep of every distinct PDF ever captured under richfieldut.gov (71 unique documents, all years) contains no fee-schedule or building-permit-fee PDF; a WordPress REST full-site search (wp-json/wp/v2/search) for 'fee schedule,' 'building permit fee,' and 'consolidated fee' across all indexed pages and council/planning-commission minutes back to 2020 surfaces no dedicated fee-schedule document (only unrelated minutes using the word 'consolidated' in a zoning-density context); and a targeted Utah Public Notice Website (utah.gov/pmn) search for a Richfield-specific 'Consolidated Fee Schedule' notice or PDF returns none (only other Utah municipalities' fee schedules, e.g. Clearfield, South Salt Lake, surface). This gap remains genuinely unrecoverable from a live primary source; confidence stays partial.
• EV charger/EVSE installation involves electrical work and therefore falls under this general Building Permit, the same as solar above ('A Building permit is generally needed if any structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical changes or additions will be made,' per the city's official FAQ). No EV-charger-specific or electric-vehicle mention was found on richfieldut.gov's Forms & Applications or FAQ pages after a direct check on 2026-07-20.
