Tips

  • Grantsville does not publish a distinct Commercial Submittal Checklist online (only a New Residential Building Submittal Checklist for SFD and the shared 'All Residential and Commercial Inspection List' were found as of 2026-07-19) — confirm exact document requirements with the Building Department, (435) 884-1691.
  • Commercial accessory structures over 120 sq ft require their own permit — a lower no-permit threshold than the 200 sq ft residential accessory-structure threshold, per Grantsville's Accessory Structure Requirements.
  • The Commercial/Industrial Plan Check Fee rate (.0049 x valuation) is higher than the Single Family Dwelling rate (.0040 x valuation); the Building Permit Fee rate (.0068 x valuation) is identical across both tables.
  • Commercial/Industrial impact fees are assessed per building square footage or per fixture unit (e.g., Public Safety Fee $953.80/1,000 sq ft, Transportation Impact Fee $1,029.43/1,000 sf) rather than per dwelling unit as on the residential tables.

Grantsville, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J, with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here. Grantsville's Building Department page links directly to the 'Utah Building Code' as its adopted code and does not itemize a specific edition year (no local IBC edition override found; live-checked 2026-07-16).; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) with Utah amendments — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide transition. Utah's amendment removes the mandatory residential fire-sprinkler requirement (Utah Code § 15A-3-103).; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not separately itemized on Grantsville's own Building Department page, added here per statute.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); not itemized on Grantsville's own Building Department page or FAQ, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition, with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here. Referenced generically (without an edition year) in Grantsville's own New Residential Building Submittal Checklist ('Information showing compliance from the International Energy Conservation Code as amended by the State of Utah').; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — CORRECTED: this file previously listed '2020 NEC,' which was already stale before the 7/1/2026 statewide transition (Utah has required the 2023 NEC statewide since well before this file's original verification date). Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) confirms 2023 NEC as the current and unchanged edition; no Grantsville-specific electrical code edition was found published on the city's own pages to source the earlier '2020' figure.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized on Grantsville's own Building Department page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized on Grantsville's own Building Department page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Grantsville City Code Title 5, 'Building Regulations' — local building-permit administration ordinance, viewable at grantsville.municipalcodeonline.com (linked directly from the city's own Building Department page as 'City Building Code').; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023, corrected from an erroneous '2020' figure above) did NOT change. Grantsville's Building Department page (grantsvilleut.gov/departments/building/index.php) was live-checked 2026-07-16 and does not itemize specific code edition years at all — it links generically to 'Utah Building Code,' so no page-vs-statute lag could be detected; the statute is cited directly as governing throughout.. Local amendments apply — see the Grantsville overview page for the full list.
