Residential Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new single-family and multi-family residential construction and any work regulated by the adopted 2021 IRC / 2024 IBC that is not exempt under IBC/IRC Sec. 105.2 (e.g., carpeting, painting, wallpapering, cabinets, countertops are exempt; drywall work generally requires a permit). Park City's fee is valuation-based (0.61% of total construction valuation) rather than a tiered table, plus a mandatory plan-check deposit and 65% plan-check fee.

Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Building Permit Fee (Single-Family / Multi-Family / Commercial) | 0.61% of total valuation of construction, minimum fee $83.00, plus 1% state surcharge | Park City Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025) § 1.2.2 'Building Permit.' Total valuation is calculated from the actual value of construction, excluding the value of on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water). |
| Plan Check Deposit | $500.00 (residential buildings); $2,000.00 (commercial buildings) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(1): non-refundable deposit required at time of building permit application for buildings requiring plan checks; forfeited if permits are not issued. |
| Plan Check Fee | 65.0% of the building permit fee for that building (or $83.00/hour of Community Development staff time for 'identical plans' as defined in the Fee Schedule) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(2). |
Electrical Permit
VerifiedRequired for electrical work in Park City not incidental to a covered building permit. Fee is valuation-based (1.32% of construction valuation) rather than a flat per-Utah-municipality rate. EV charger/EVSE installation is electrical work and falls under this general Electrical Permit; the currently effective Fee Schedule (10/20/2025) excludes only on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water) from the building-permit valuation base, and does not list a separate EV-charger fee exemption. Park City's Environmental Sustainability program has separately advertised (in older, no-longer-live outreach pages) that 'building permit fees for installing EV charging equipment... are waived' — but this is not reflected in the current codified Fee Schedule, so it is noted here for transparency rather than applied as a guaranteed fee waiver.

Commercial Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new commercial building construction, commercial shell buildings, and ground-up commercial additions in Park City, regulated by the adopted 2024 IBC. Park City bills the Commercial Permit at the same valuation-based rate as residential construction (0.61% of total valuation) per Fee Schedule § 1.2.2, but requires a larger, $2,000 non-refundable Plan Check Deposit (vs. $500 for residential buildings) given the added complexity of commercial plan review, plus the standard 65% Plan Check Fee. Properties within Park City's Historic District (Old Town / Main Street) additionally require Planning Department Historic Design Review before or alongside building permit issuance.

Verified by direct extraction of the full 48-page Fee Schedule PDF text. |
| Plan Check Deposit | $2,000.00 (commercial buildings) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(1): 'Commercial Buildings $2,000.00' — non-refundable deposit required at time of building permit application for buildings requiring plan checks; forfeited if permits are not issued. |
| Plan Check Fee | 65.0% of the building permit fee for that building (or $83.00/hour of Community Development staff time for 'identical plans' as defined in the Fee Schedule) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(2). |
| Historic Design Review (Planning Dept., Historic District properties only) | $497.00 (no increase in existing area) or $1,518.00 (increase in existing area) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.1.7 'Historic Review' — applies only to properties within the Historic District; not a Building Department fee. |
| Outside Consultant Plan Review or Inspection | Actual cost | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.12 'Other Inspections and Fees' — billed for use of outside consultants for plan reviews, inspections, or both; commonly triggered by large or complex commercial/resort-scale projects. |
| Re-Inspection Fee | $124.00/hour, minimum 1 hour | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.12. |
| Inspections Outside Normal Business Hours | $124.00/hour, minimum 2 hours | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.12. |

Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit
VerifiedRequired for interior tenant improvement / tenant finish work in existing commercial buildings in Park City — build-outs, remodels, and finish work for a new or changing tenant space. Park City's official Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025) does NOT list 'Tenant Improvement' as a distinct fee category separate from new commercial construction: this was confirmed by direct full-text extraction of the entire 48-page Fee Schedule PDF, which lists exactly three line items under § 1.2.2 'Building Permit' — Single-Family Permit, Multi-Family Permit, and Commercial Permit — with no fourth tenant-improvement or remodel-specific tier (unlike, e.g., Sandy or Murray's fee schedules, which do itemize a separate Tenant Improvement rate). TI work in Park City is therefore billed under the same valuation-based Commercial Permit rate (0.61% of the valuation of the TI scope of work) as ground-up commercial construction, plus the same $2,000 Plan Check Deposit and 65% Plan Check Fee.

Requirements
- Interior build-out, remodel, or finish work in an existing commercial tenant space, regulated by the adopted 2024 IBC and, for work in existing buildings, the adopted 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC)

Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial Permit Fee (applies to tenant improvement valuation) | 0.61% of the total valuation of the tenant improvement scope of work, minimum fee $83.00, plus 1% state surcharge | Park City Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025) § 1.2.2 'Building Permit,' line item 'Commercial Permit.' No separate 'Tenant Improvement' fee tier exists in the Fee Schedule — confirmed by direct text extraction of the full 48-page PDF (search for 'improvement,' 'remodel,' and 'renovation' returned no building-fee matches). The same rate applies whether the underlying scope is new construction or interior tenant finish work. |
| Plan Check Deposit | $2,000.00 (commercial buildings) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(1): 'Commercial Buildings $2,000.00' — non-refundable deposit required at time of building permit application for buildings requiring plan checks; forfeited if permits are not issued. Applies identically to tenant improvement projects since Park City does not distinguish TI from new construction in its fee structure. |
| Plan Check Fee | 65.0% of the building permit fee for that building (or $83.00/hour of Community Development staff time for 'identical plans' as defined in the Fee Schedule) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(2). |

Sign Permit
VerifiedPark City regulates signs through Municipal Code Title 12 (Sign Code) and reviews sign applications under a tiered fee structure published in the city's official Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025). Fees range from $115.14 for a Temporary Sign Permit up to $402.00 for a Master Sign Plan, with most individual sign permits carrying a 1% state surcharge on top of the base amount.

- A sign permit review fee applies under Land Management Code Fee Schedule § 1.1.10, Sign Review, covering Master Sign Plans, amendments, individual sign permits, sign permits issued under an existing Master Sign Plan, and temporary sign permits
- Buildings or projects with more than one tenant/use are generally expected to have a Master Sign Plan on file, with individual signs then permitted under that plan at a lower per-sign fee than a standalone Individual Sign Permit

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
Park City has no distinct, codified EV charger/EVSE permit type or fee line item — EV charger installation is electrical work billed under the city's standard Electrical Permit (1.32% of construction valuation, plus 1% state surcharge), per the Park City Fee Schedule effective October 20, 2025. Park City's Environmental Sustainability office has separately advertised (via an archived 'Electric Vehicle Charger Incentives' outreach page) that building permit fees for EV charging equipment are waived, but this waiver is NOT reflected in the currently effective codified Fee Schedule, which only excludes on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water) from the building-permit valuation base — not EV chargers. This is a genuine, unresolved discrepancy between city outreach messaging and the codified fee schedule.

No distinct EV-charger fee line item is codified; § 1.2.2's Building Permit Total Valuation exclusion applies only to on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water), not EV charging equipment. |

Solar PV Permit
VerifiedPark City runs a genuinely distinct, streamlined solar photovoltaic (PV) permitting process, separate from the general Residential/Commercial Building Permit workflow — confirmed on the city's official 'Solar PV Permitting Info' page (Sustainability Department). Unlike other permit types, solar PV applications are NOT submitted through the City Inspect (MCI) online portal: a physical application using the Solar ABCs (Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems) template must be submitted in person to the Building Department at City Hall (445 Marsac Avenue). Systems under 15kW with complete, correct documentation qualify for permit issuance within two business days. Renewable energy system value (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water) is excluded from the construction valuation used to calculate the Building Permit fee under Fee Schedule § 1.2.2 — the city's own solar page characterizes this as making solar systems 'eligible for a building permit fee waiver.' Solar thermal (as opposed to solar PV/solar electric) projects are handled separately; the city directs applicants to contact the Building Department directly for those.

Requirements
- Solar photovoltaic (PV) / solar electric installation on a home or business within Park City Municipal Corporation (PCMC) city limits (solar thermal projects are handled separately — contact the Building Department directly)
- Physical (in-person or mailed) application submitted to the Building Department at City Hall, 445 Marsac Avenue, using the Solar ABCs (Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems) template — not submitted through the City Inspect (MCI) online portal used for other Park City permit types
- For the 2-business-day streamlined review: system must be under 15kW AND all required documents must be provided and correct AND no more than three applications may have been submitted by the same individual or company within the same calendar month
- Net Metering Agreement completed with Rocky Mountain Power (and appropriate meter set up) for all grid-connected solar installations, required before final project approval
- Planning Department zoning review of the solar permit submitted to the Building Department, to confirm compliance with local codes and ordinances
- Design Review (Planning Department) required in addition to the Building Department solar permit if the installation is on a historic structure or within Park City's Historic District
- Separate HOA review and approval if the property is part of a homeowners association — PCMC's process does not substitute for HOA sign-off
Required documents

| Solar PV Building Permit Fee (renewable energy valuation exclusion / fee waiver) | Waived in typical practice — Park City's official Solar PV Permitting Info page states renewable energy systems are 'eligible for a building permit fee waiver' under the municipal Fee Schedule, § 1.2.2, which excludes the value of on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water) from the total construction valuation used to compute the Building Permit fee. | Park City Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025) § 1.2.2 'Building Permit,' renewable-energy valuation exclusion, as characterized by the city's own Solar PV Permitting Info page ('Costs' section). Because § 1.2.2 separately lists an $83.00 minimum fee for the Building Permit line item, a nominal minimum fee may still apply to a solar-only project reduced to $0 valuation — this is not explicitly reconciled on the city's solar page, which frames the treatment simply as a fee waiver; confirm the exact amount charged (if any) with the Building Department (435-615-5101) at time of application. |
| Historic Design Review (Planning Dept., Historic District/structures only) | $497.00 (no increase in existing area) or $1,518.00 (increase in existing area) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.1.7 'Historic Review' — applies only if the solar installation is on a historic structure or within the Historic District; not a Building Department fee. Cross-referenced from the commercial-building-permit and commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entries in this same file, which cite the identical fee line item. |
| Legacy 'Building Permit Fee Waiver' program (up to $1,000/project) — unconfirmed | Advertised as up to $1,000.00 per project on the city's own Solar PV Permitting Info page, under a separate linked document | The Solar PV Permitting Info page's 'Financial Incentives' section separately links a 'Building Permit Fee Waiver' document (a distinct, older parkcity.gov document ID from the current § 1.2.2 Fee Schedule) advertising a permitting fee waiver of up to $1,000 per project. This underlying document could not be retrieved during this verification — it returned HTTP 404 both on the live parkcity.gov URL and via the closest available Wayback Machine capture of that specific document ID. Included here for transparency per the city's own outreach messaging, but treated as an unconfirmed legacy reference distinct from the codified § 1.2.2 valuation exclusion above — confirm current status with the Building Department or Sustainability office before relying on a specific dollar cap. |
Fire Sprinkler System Permit
VerifiedPark City Municipal Corporation's own Building Department Fee Schedule (§1.2.7 'International Fire Code Fee Issuance Fee,' $154.00) covers only operational/temporary fire-code activities (open burning, tents, fireworks, LPG heaters, places of assembly, etc.) — it does NOT include a line item for fire sprinkler (fire suppression) system installation. New fire sprinkler system installations and additions/modifications to existing systems within Park City are instead reviewed and permitted by the Park City Fire Service District (PCFD), a distinct special-district government separate from Park City Municipal Corporation, via PCFD's own 'Project and Permit Review' process, confirmed directly on the district's official permit-product page: a flat $165.00 Plan Review Fee plus $160.00 per Prepaid Inspection, rather than the city's valuation-based building/electrical permit structure.

A prior PCFD public notice (September 2018) advertised impact fee rates of $541.66 (residential), $0.85/sq ft (commercial, non-R1), $0.89/sq ft (lodging/R-1), and $0.037/sq ft (institutional) — cited here for context only, as a since-superseded 2018 figure, not confirmed as the district's current rate.

Change of Use / Change of Occupancy Permit
VerifiedPark City has no distinct standalone 'change of use' or 'change of occupancy' application or fee — confirmed by direct review of the Building Department's official Permits page, its Forms, Codes & Resources page (which lists every official Building form and includes no such document), and the full-text Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025), none of which itemize a change-of-use product. Park City has adopted the 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), whose Chapter 10 'Change of Occupancy' provisions govern any building or space changing use or occupancy classification, and the adopted IBC Sec. 111 requires that no building or portion be used, occupied, or have its occupancy changed until the Building Official issues a Certificate of Occupancy. A change of use is therefore processed as an application under the existing Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit (whichever matches the scope of work), billed at that permit's standard valuation-based fee, with no separate line item — consistent with this file's own Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit entry, which already notes that 'a change of occupancy classification (e.g., retail to restaurant) may trigger additional code requirements under the adopted 2024 IEBC.'

Requirements
- Any change in use or occupancy classification of an existing building or tenant space that would place it in a different IBC/IEBC occupancy group requires compliance with the adopted 2024 IEBC Chapter 10 'Change of Occupancy' provisions, subject to Building Official review
- No building, structure, or portion may be used, occupied, or have its occupancy changed until the Building Official issues a Certificate of Occupancy, per the adopted IBC Sec. 111
- Application submitted through the City Inspect (MCI) online portal as a Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit application (whichever matches the scope of work), since Park City does not offer a distinct 'change of use' application type
- Planning Department zoning compliance review for the new use under the Land Management Code, Title 15
- Any upgrade work identified as necessary to bring the space into compliance with the new occupancy classification requires its own building/trade permits
Required documents
- RequiredCity Inspect (MCI) Building Permit Application (Commercial or Tenant Improvement)Started online through City Inspect; Park City's official materials route a change-of-use project through the standard Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit application, since no separate 'change of use' application exists.
- RequiredCompleteness ChecklistPark City's official checklist used by the Building Department to screen a submittal for completeness before beginning the plan review process, referenced on the Building Department's Forms, Codes & Resources page.
- RequiredFloor Plan / Occupancy AnalysisExisting and proposed floor plan showing the new occupancy classification, egress, and any code-compliance upgrades required by the adopted 2024 IEBC Chapter 10. Park City's public Completeness Checklist and Forms & Resources pages do not itemize a distinct named change-of-occupancy submittal — confirm the exact documentation format with the Building Department (435-615-5101).
- RequiredRequest Certificate of Occupancy (COO) Prior to Site Completion FormPer the adopted IBC Sec. 111, no change of occupancy may occur until the Building Official issues a Certificate of Occupancy. This official Park City form (listed on the Forms, Codes & Resources page) is used for COO requests, including changes of occupancy.
Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial Permit Fee / Commercial Tenant Improvement Fee (applies to change-of-use valuation) | 0.61% of the total valuation of any construction/upgrade work triggered by the change of use, minimum fee $83.00, plus 1% state surcharge | Park City Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025) § 1.2.2 'Building Permit.' No distinct 'Change of Use' or 'Change of Occupancy' fee line item exists anywhere in the Fee Schedule — confirmed by direct extraction of the full 48-page PDF — so a change of use is billed under the same Commercial Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement rate as any other commercial project, applied to the valuation of the upgrade work identified. Treated as verified rather than partial: this is a genuinely governing general fee, not an invented figure, since Park City's own adopted code (2024 IEBC + IBC Sec. 111) requires any change-of-use work to go through the standard building-permit fee structure. |
| Plan Check Deposit | $500.00 (residential buildings) / $2,000.00 (commercial buildings) | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(1); applies if the change of use requires plan check, per the same non-refundable deposit structure used for the Commercial Building Permit and Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit entries in this file. |
| Plan Check Fee | 65.0% of the building permit fee for that building | Park City Fee Schedule § 1.2.3(2). |
