Tips
- Tooele County charges two distinct flat sign-permit fees rather than a single rate: $250 for a Permanent sign permit and $25 for a Temporary sign permit, both listed under the Planning and Zoning / Community Development section of the county's official Fee Schedule (Effective 5-19-26) — separate from the general Building Department's valuation-based Plan Review fee.
- 'Sign Permit' is explicitly one of the checkbox permit types on the county's own general Building Permit Application and General Instructions form, alongside Building, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, Energy, Occupancy, Construction, and Demolition — use that same application form to apply.
- If the sign installation also requires structural/electrical work reviewed as a standard building permit, the general valuation-based Plan Review fee described in this file's residential-building-permit entry may apply in addition to the flat sign-permit fee — confirm scope with the Development Department, (435) 843-3150.

Unincorporated Tooele County, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(a) (https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title15A/Chapter2/15A-2-S103.html), in force statewide since 7/1/2026 and binding on counties under §15A-1-204. Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IBC (no appendices specified) — live-checked 2026-07-16, the county's own page has not been updated to the current statewide edition.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendix AQ — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c); this edition is UNCHANGED from the prior code cycle. Tooele County's own Building Permits page lists the 2021 IRC — live-checked 2026-07-16, consistent with the current statute on the base edition.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(e). Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IMC — live-checked 2026-07-16, lags the current statewide edition.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(d). Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IPC — live-checked 2026-07-16, lags the current statewide edition.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(f). Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IFGC — live-checked 2026-07-16, lags the current statewide edition.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — one code, no residential/commercial split, per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(h). Tooele County's own Building Permits page still lists the 2021 IECC — live-checked 2026-07-16, lags the current statewide edition.; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — per Tooele County's own Building Permits page, live-checked 2026-07-16 and unchanged. Utah Code §15A-2-103 does NOT adopt the IFC (fire codes are addressed separately under Title 15A, Chapter 5, the State Fire Code Act) — this edition is left as the county's own published figure rather than reconciled to §15A-2-103, since that statute does not govern it. NOTE: Tooele County's own list includes the IFC explicitly (cited directly in its Fire Protection Criteria for Unincorporated Tooele County, referencing IFC 503.1.1 and Appendix D); Tooele City's own sheet does not list a standalone IFC edition. This is a genuine difference between the two jurisdictions' own published code lists, reported as each jurisdiction states it.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — governs per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(g); this edition is UNCHANGED from the prior code cycle, and Tooele County's own Building Permits page already correctly lists the 2023 NEC — live-checked 2026-07-16, no lag on this edition.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — governs statewide per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(i). Tooele County's own Building Permits page does NOT list the IEBC at all — live-checked 2026-07-16; added here per the statute, not omitted from this file.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — governs statewide per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(n). Tooele County's own Building Permits page does NOT list the ISPSC at all — live-checked 2026-07-16; added here per the statute, not omitted from this file.; Modular Building Institute (MBI) Standards 1200 and 1205 — governs statewide per Utah Code §15A-2-103(1)(o). Not listed on Tooele County's own Building Permits page — live-checked 2026-07-16.; Utah State Amendments to the Building Codes (Utah Code Title 15A, Chapter 3) — per Tooele County's own Building Permits page, linking directly to le.utah.gov Title 15A Chapter 3..
