Residential Building Permit in Eagle Mountain, Utah

Required for new residential construction, additions, and structural alterations in Eagle Mountain. Permit fees are valuation-based per the Consolidated Fee Schedule (updated March 3, 2026). Plan review is approximately 14 business days. Applications submitted through the OpenGov portal. Eagle Mountain's Consolidated Fee Schedule (rev. 12/03/2024) prices all building permits — including electrical work — on the same total-valuation table, plus a 'Non-Valuation Based Permit – Inspection Only' fee of $50 per inspection for small standalone jobs; no distinct EV charger/EVSE fee line item was found as of 2026-07-19, so a standalone home EV charger installation would be priced under this general valuation table or the $50 inspection-only fee.

Tips

  • All inspections in Eagle Mountain must be scheduled via email to buildinginspections@eaglemountain.gov — walk-ins are not accepted. Power inspections must include the Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) work order number.
  • Cancel inspection requests before 9 AM to avoid being charged — cancellations received after 9 AM are processed on the next business day.
  • Eagle Mountain requires front and side yards to be landscaped before occupancy. In winter, a $2,000 escrow per lot can be paid, with landscaping completed within six months.
  • Eagle Mountain uses the OpenGov portal for permit applications (eaglemountainut.portal.opengov.com/categories/1076).
  • As of July 1, 2026 (now in force), the 2024 IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, and IECC govern statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103. Plans submitted for review before that date were reviewed under the 2021-edition codes in effect on the submission date.
  • No distinct EV charger/EVSE fee line item appears in Eagle Mountain's Consolidated Fee Schedule (eaglemountain.gov, rev. 12/03/2024, checked 2026-07-19) — a standalone charger circuit not tied to new construction would most likely fall under the 'Non-Valuation Based Permit – Inspection Only' fee ($50 per inspection).

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.
