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.
