Residential Building Permit (Single Family Dwelling)
VerifiedRequired for new single-family residential construction in Grantsville and any work regulated by the adopted 2021 IRC / 2024 IBC with Utah amendments. Grantsville's Single Family Dwelling fee schedule uses its own valuation-based Building Permit Fee (0.0068 × total permit value) and Plan Check Fee (0.0040 × total permit value), most recently set by City Ordinance 2024-30 (approved 11/6/2024), plus a package of water/sewer/park/public-safety impact fees distinct from other Tooele County jurisdictions. Rooftop solar panel installations fall under this same Building Permit — the city's official 'When Do I Need a Building Permit?' handout lists 'Solar panels' as one of the outdoor project types requiring this permit, with no separate solar-specific application, checklist, or fee published on grantsvilleut.gov or in the Consolidated Fee Schedule as of 2026-07-19 (cms9files.revize.com/grantsvilleut/Document_Center/Department/Building%20Department/What-needs-a-permit1.pdf). Grantsville's building permit fee ordinances (Utah PMN public-notice filings for the city's fee schedule amendments) price the Building Permit Fee as a percentage of total permit valuation (e.g., .0068x or a flat $150 minimum under $15,000, per the most recent amendment on file), plus a 1% state surcharge; no distinct EV charger/EVSE fee line item was found in these ordinances as of 2026-07-19, so EV charger installation would be handled as standard electrical work under this same valuation-based fee.

Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit
Required for tenant improvement and remodel work inside an existing commercial or industrial building in Grantsville. Grantsville's Consolidated Fee Schedule does not publish a separate tenant-improvement fee table distinct from new commercial construction — tenant improvement work is assessed under the same 'Commercial/Industrial Building Permit Fees' table (Building Permit Fee 0.0068 x valuation, Plan Check Fee 0.0049 x valuation), scaled to the tenant improvement scope's own ICC valuation rather than the full building's value.

Sign Permit
VerifiedRequired to erect or maintain nearly any sign or outdoor advertising structure in Grantsville under City Code Chapter 20 (Sign Regulations), § 20.4. Approval is evidenced by a permit issued by the Community Development Director, Zoning Administrator, or their designee. The Zoning Fees schedule sets a Sign Permit fee of $200.00 for permanent signs and $25.00 for temporary signs.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- It is illegal to erect or maintain any sign or outdoor advertising structure without first obtaining City approval, evidenced by a permit from the Community Development Director, Zoning Administrator, or designee — except temporary nonelectrical wall signs under 6 square feet, which need no approval (City Code § 20.4)
- Movable A-frame signs displaying a menu or special message require a permit, are capped at the ordinance's stated size of 30" x 36" (the ordinance's own text elsewhere restates this as '30" x 48"' — both figures appear verbatim in § 20.4, so confirm the current dimension with Community Development), must be stored inside during closed hours, and must stay within 3 feet of the storefront
- Roof signs require a permit and Community Development Director/Zoning Administrator approval of a design that hides all supporting members; roof sign area counts against the wall's total allowed wall-sign area
- Banner signs are permitted only under specific time limits: 60 consecutive days for a temporary promotion (once per business location), up to 6 months (plus one 6-month Planning Commission extension) for a new business without permanent signage, 60 days for a bankruptcy/going-out-of-business promotion, or 30 days per quarter for other sales/events (§ 20.4)
- Off-premises billboard signs and off-premises outdoor advertising structures are not permitted anywhere in Grantsville (traffic/directional signs excepted) (§ 20.4)

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
Grantsville City does not publish a separate EV-charger/EVSE permit or fee. Per Grantsville Ordinance 2024-04 (Building Fees Update), which amends the Grantsville City Consolidated Fee Schedule, building permit fees are calculated as a percentage of total permit value (e.g., 0.0065-0.0075 x total permit value depending on structure type), using ICC Building Valuation Data updated annually, with no distinct Electrical, Mechanical, or Plumbing sub-fee and no EV-specific line item. EV charger installation is therefore handled as standard electrical work under this same valuation-based Building Permit; no EV-specific dollar figure is asserted here.
Reviewed 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Installation of a Level 2 or DC fast EV charger (EVSE) at a residential or commercial property in Grantsville
- Electrical work regulated statewide by the 2023 NEC (Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g))
- Building permit application submitted via grantsvilleut.portal.iworq.net

| Building Permit Fee (general/commercial, when total permit value does not exceed $15,000) | $150.00 flat | Grantsville Ordinance 2024-04, Section 1, 'General Building Fees.' Applies when total permit value does not exceed $15,000 — potentially relevant to a standalone EV charger install, though not explicitly named. |
Solar / Solar PV Installation Permit
VerifiedGrantsville City does not publish a separate solar/solar-PV permit application, checklist, or fee. The city's official 'When Do I Need a Building Permit?' handout explicitly lists 'Solar panels' under 'Requires Permits — Outside' alongside decks, garages, and room additions, with no distinct solar-specific line item anywhere in the Grantsville City Consolidated Fee Schedule (confirmed by direct review of the General, Single Family Dwelling, Multi-Family, and Commercial/Industrial Building Permit Fees tables in Ordinance 2024-37's Exhibit A print-preview). Solar PV installations are therefore processed as a standard Building Permit (with associated electrical work) using the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee and Plan Check Fee — or the flat General Building Fees rate for permits valued under $15,000 — as any other building/electrical permit, governed by the state-adopted 2024 IBC / 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC (which includes NEC Article 690, Solar Photovoltaic Systems) with Utah amendments.

VerifiedGrantsville City does not publish a separate fire sprinkler system permit or fee. Grantsville's own Public Safety Fees table -- the section of the city's fee schedule that does itemize Fire Department charges -- was fetched and reviewed directly (grantsville.municipalcodeonline.com/book/print?type=fees&name=Public_Safety_Fees, live-checked 2026-07-21) and contains only a 'Fire Department Equipment Rental' line item (Brush Truck $52.00/hr, Ladder/Tower Truck and Pumper Truck $57.00/hr plus crew, for apparatus rental) with no sprinkler-system permit, plan-review, or inspection fee. The Building Fees and Zoning Fees tables were likewise checked directly and contain no sprinkler-specific line item.

Change of Use / Commercial-Industrial Tenant Change
VerifiedGrantsville City has no permit literally titled 'Change of Use,' 'Change of Occupancy,' or 'Certificate of Occupancy' for an existing building, but its current Zoning Fees schedule publishes a distinct fee for exactly this scenario -- 'Commercial/Industrial Tenant Change Application,' $300.00 per application (grantsville.municipalcodeonline.com/book/print?type=fees&name=Zoning_Fees, live-checked 2026-07-21; up from $100.00 per application in the version of the table shown in the Ordinance 2024-39 Record of Ordinance Adoption, adopted 12/4/2024, utah.gov/pmn/files/1205653.pdf) -- processed through the same Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application and review workflow the city uses for all conditional land uses. Per Grantsville's own Community & Economic Development Department page on Conditional Use Permits, an applicant must first check the Land Use and Management Code table for the property's zoning district; if the new use is 'Conditional' (rather than 'Permitted') for that zone, the CUP application is reviewed across Public Works, Building, Fire, and Police departments over a minimum 3-week timeline, with public notice letters sent to owners within 500 feet (15-day response window), before the Zoning Administrator approves, denies, or refers the request to the Planning Commission.
