Fee schedule

Building Permit Fee (valuation-based, Resolution 2025-1, effective 05/27/2025)Coalville City Fee Schedule (Resolution 2025-1, effective 05/27/2025), 'BUILDING PERMIT FEES' section, item 2: 'Building Permit Fees ... b. Non-Agricultural: i. Commercial structures built per the IBC ... Fees in accordance with Coalville City Building Permit Fees' — this is the same valuation-based fee table used for residential structures (item 2's table is not split by structure type). Building Valuation (item 1(b)(i)) for commercial structures is 'per the International Building Code (IBC)' — the higher of actual contractor-reported construction cost, or the ICC Building Valuation Data Sheet (Building Safety Journal, updated biannually) rate for the applicable occupancy/construction type. A 1% Utah State surcharge (UCA § 58-54-9-3, as amended) applies to all permits in addition to these fees.
Less than $2,000: $24 for the first $500 plus $3.50 per additional $100 (or fraction) to $2,000. $2,001–$25,000: $76.50 for the first $2,000 plus $16.50 per additional $1,000 (or fraction) to $25,000. $25,001–$50,000: $456 for the first $25,000 plus $10.10 per additional $1,000. $50,001–$100,000: $756 for the first $50,000 plus $8.50 per additional $1,000. $100,001–$500,000: $1,181 for the first $100,000 plus $6.50 per additional $1,000. $500,001–$1,000,000: $3,781 for the first $500,000 plus $5.50 per additional $1,000. $1,000,001 and up: $6,531 for the first $1,000,000 plus $4.50 per additional $1,000.

Tips

  • Coalville's Building Permit Application Review Procedures document applies the same plan-submittal checklist to both residential and commercial construction, explicitly stating 'new residential or commercial construction plans cannot be hand drawn' — there is no separate, shorter commercial-only checklist published.
  • Plan review for commercial structures is billed at the same 65% rate as residential structures (Fee Schedule item 3(b)/(c)) — Coalville does not use a lower commercial plan-review rate the way some larger Wasatch Front cities do.
  • Building valuation for commercial structures is the higher of actual contractor-reported construction cost, or the ICC Building Valuation Data Sheet rate for the applicable IBC occupancy/construction type (published biannually in the Building Safety Journal).
  • A 1% Utah State surcharge applies to all building permits per Utah Code § 58-54-9-3, in addition to Coalville's own fee schedule.
  • Coalville is an independent municipal building department (Building Official Greg White, 435-640-1799) — it is not contracted to Summit County's building department.

Coalville, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — current statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a) (Utah Uniform Building Standard Act), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition (which was itself effective July 1, 2023). Coalville's Building Permit Fees resolution (Res. 2025-1) references the IBC directly for commercial structures and does not codify a separate local building-code chapter, consistent with the statewide adoption model.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — current statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); unaffected by the 7/1/2026 statute revision, continues in force. Coalville's Fee Schedule (Res. 2025-1, Building Permit Fees section) references the IRC directly for residential structures.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — current statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. Coalville's Fee Schedule references the IPC for commercial plumbing permit fee calculation.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — current statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. Coalville's Fee Schedule references the IMC for commercial mechanical permit fee calculation.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); unaffected by the 7/1/2026 statute revision, continues in force. Coalville's Fee Schedule references the NEC for commercial electrical permit fee calculation.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Utah amendments — current statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition.; NOTE: Effective July 1, 2026 (now in force), the 2024 editions of IBC, IPC, IMC, and IECC replaced the 2021 editions statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027; text independently re-verified live at le.utah.gov 2026-07-16). The 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC were unaffected and remain in force. This file's codesAdopted list does not carry separate line items for the International Fuel Gas Code, International Existing Building Code, or International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (residential provisions) — all three are also statewide-adopted per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f)/(i)/(n) at the 2024 edition effective 2026-07-01, but no Coalville-specific citation for them was located this session; this is a pre-existing completeness gap in this file, not addressed further here.. Local amendments apply — see the Coalville overview page for the full list.
