Tips

  • Eagle Mountain requires Planning Department approval BEFORE the building permit application is submitted — 'we need all approvals before we can issue a permit #' per the city's Commercial Building Permit Instructions.
  • Plan review for commercial projects is handled by a third-party contractor, WC3 (permitdeskutah@wc-3.com), not directly by city staff — direct plan-review-comment questions to the WC3 reviewer named in the Plan Review Response Letter, not the city.
  • Commercial Plan Review Fee is 65% of the permit fee — notably higher than the 40% Residential Plan Review Fee in the same Consolidated Fee Schedule (Section 13.3).
  • The $5,000 builder's deposit is specific to new commercial buildings; a commercial tenant improvement project instead requires only a $1,000 deposit plus a copy of the lease agreement.
  • Fire code enforcement, and fire sprinkler/alarm system plan review, for Eagle Mountain is handled by the Unified Fire Authority (UFA) — Eagle Mountain City is a listed UFA member community (unifiedfireut.gov/prevention/plan-reviews/), not the city's own Building Department. Eagle Mountain's own Consolidated Fee Schedule (updated March 3, 2026, eaglemountain.gov) has no Fire Department fee section at all, and UFA's own published FY2025-26 Adopted Budget Book Appendix A Fee Schedule 'Prevention Fees & Permits' table (unifiedfireut.gov, checked 2026-07-20) lists only hazardous-materials, fireworks, blasting, and special-enforcement permit fees — no fire sprinkler or fire alarm plan-review line item. Per UFA's own Plan Reviews page, automatic fire protection system and fire alarm/detection system plans instead require a mandatory third-party 'technical opinion and report' (peer review) by a UFA-approved third-party review company (exceptions: installations under 20 sprinkler heads or under 5 alarm/notification appliances) — the fee for that review is paid to the third-party reviewer directly, not published as a flat UFA or city fee. Confirm current third-party review costs directly with UFA Fire Prevention (801-743-7200) before budgeting.

NOTE (2026-07-16, re-verified live): Eagle Mountain's own Building Department Compliance & Codes page (eaglemountain.gov/government/building/) still lists '2021 International Building Code (IBC)' and has not been updated to reflect the 2026-07-01 statewide transition.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Eagle Mountain Building Department, Compliance & Codes page; unaffected by the 7/1/2026 statute revision, continues in force per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) — Eagle Mountain's page is current on this point; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — governing edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. NOTE (2026-07-16, re-verified live): Eagle Mountain's Compliance & Codes page still lists '2021 International Plumbing Code (IPC)' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — governing edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition.

NOTE (2026-07-16, re-verified live): Eagle Mountain's Compliance & Codes page still lists '2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)' and has not been updated.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); unaffected by the 7/1/2026 statute revision, continues in force. NOTE: Eagle Mountain's building page lists 2020 NEC but the statewide-adopted edition is 2023 NEC per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 — the 2020 NEC listing on the city page is stale (re-confirmed live 2026-07-16, unrelated to and predating the 7/1/2026 transition); Eagle Mountain Municipal Code (local building and zoning regulations) — codepublishing.com/UT/EagleMountain/; NOTE: Effective July 1, 2026 (now in force) — 2024 editions of IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC replaced the 2021 editions per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027; text independently re-verified live at le.utah.gov 2026-07-16); IRC stays 2021; NEC stays 2023. Eagle Mountain's own Compliance & Codes page was checked live 2026-07-16 and still shows the pre-transition 2021 editions across the board — the statute governs regardless of the city page's lag..

A third-party plan review contractor, WC3, reviews plans (submitted to permitdeskutah@wc-3.com) alongside the Eagle Mountain Planning Department (planning@eaglemountain.gov); the city itself does not resolve WC3 plan review comments directly.
