Residential Addition / Remodel / Basement Finish Permit
VerifiedRequired for residential additions, remodels, and basement finishes in Lindon. Charged under the 'Other Residential' Building Permit Application Fee category (flat $100) with the same 1997 UBC Table 1-A valuation-based Building Permit Fee and 25% residential Plan Review Fee as new construction. Lindon has no separate solar-PV permit type or fee — the city's 2025-2026 Fee Schedule explicitly groups solar into this same 'Other Residential' category alongside pools, additions, detached garages, sheds, and retaining walls, so rooftop or ground-mounted solar installs are permitted and charged through this permit type.

VerifiedCovers common standalone residential trade permits in Lindon: re-roofing, furnace/air-conditioning replacement, electrical service panel replacement, and water heater replacement/installation.

Commercial Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new commercial and new multi-family construction in Lindon. Unlike residential's flat $500/$100 Building Permit Application Fee, Lindon bills the Building Permit Application Fee for 'New Multi-family and Commercial' as the Full Plan Review Fee, and the Plan Review Fee itself is billed at 65% of the permit fee for commercial (versus 25% for residential). The underlying Building Permit Fee remains valuation-based under the same 1997 Uniform Building Code Table 1-A used for residential construction.

Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit
VerifiedRequired for tenant improvement / tenant finish work inside existing commercial buildings in Lindon — interior remodels, buildouts, and occupancy changes for a new or existing tenant space. Lindon's fee schedule bills the Building Permit Application Fee for 'Tenant Improvements' as its own Full Plan Review Fee line item (a separate line from, but the same formula as, new commercial construction), and requires the building owner's signed acknowledgment whenever the applicant is not the building's owner of record.
Verified 2026-07-19 · Source
Requirements
- Tenant improvement or tenant finish work in an existing commercial building
- Complete sets of digital plans, wet-stamped and wet-signed by the architect or engineer

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
Lindon's 2025-2026 Fee Schedule does not publish a distinct EV-charger or EVSE fee line item, and Lindon has no general electrical-permit category — standalone residential electrical work is only itemized as 'Service Panel Replacement (power)' under the Miscellaneous Residential Permit Fees line. A direct, full-text search of the fee schedule PDF found zero mentions of 'EV,' 'electric vehicle,' 'charging station,' or 'EVSE.' An EV charger install that requires a panel or service upgrade most closely resembles that $85 flat-fee category, but this has not been explicitly confirmed by the city as the governing fee for EV charger installs, so this entry is marked partial confidence rather than verified.
Reviewed 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Installation of a Level 2 or DC fast EV charger (EVSE) at a residential property
- Likely requires a building permit application through Lindon's CivicReview portal
- Confirm fee category directly with the Building Inspection Division before applying, since no EV-specific or general electrical-permit line item is published

Not an EV-specific or confirmed EV-charger fee — Lindon has no distinct electrical-permit category, so this is the closest itemized fee for panel-related electrical work. Unconfirmed for EV charger installs specifically. |
Solar / Solar PV Installation Permit
VerifiedLindon does not publish a distinct solar or solar-PV permit application, checklist, or fee. Solar installations (rooftop or ground-mounted) are explicitly named within the same 'Other Residential' Building Permit Application Fee category used for pools, additions, detached garages, sheds, and retaining walls — the city's 2025-2026 Fee Schedule (FY2025-26 Final Budget) lists this category's parenthetical as '(Pools, additions, detached garages, sheds, retaining walls, solar)' at a flat $100.00. A full-text search of the Building & Inspection department page and the site found zero dedicated solar checklist, application form, or solar-specific requirements published by the city.
Verified 2026-07-21 · Source
Requirements
- Building permit application submitted through Lindon's online CivicReview portal, same as other 'Other Residential' permit types (no solar-specific application form is published)
- Electrical plan showing PV system components (panels, inverter(s), disconnects, conductor sizing) sufficient for the Building Department's standard electrical review, since Lindon has no separate solar checklist to define scope-specific submittal requirements
- Site plan showing panel/array location for roof-mounted systems, or location and setbacks for ground-mounted arrays
- Utility interconnection agreement with Rocky Mountain Power for grid-tied systems — coordinated directly with the utility, (888) 221-7070, separately from the city building permit, consistent with how Lindon handles other utility-coordinated electrical work (temporary/permanent power)

Unlike the Building Permit Application Fee's 'Other Residential' category, this bond line does not explicitly name solar — it may apply to ground-mounted systems that disturb public improvements, but this has not been confirmed by the city for solar specifically. Confirm with the Building Department, (801) 785-7687, before budgeting for a bond on a solar project. |
Fire Sprinkler System Permit
VerifiedRequired for installation of an automatic fire sprinkler (fire protection) system for new construction or a tenant improvement in Lindon. Lindon City does not employ its own fire-prevention plan reviewers or publish its own sprinkler-system fee table: since 2008, Lindon has contracted Fire/EMS response to Orem City, and Lindon has separately 'partnered with Orem City Fire Prevention and Inspection to perform inspections on new construction and business license inspections' (Lindon's official Fire/EMS page). Orem's Fire Prevention Division serves Orem, Lindon, and Vineyard for plan review, permits, and inspections. Lindon's own 2025-2026 Fee Schedule reflects this directly: its 'Plan Review Fee' section lists a distinct 'Fire Sprinkler and/or Fire Alarm Plan Review' line item priced 'As per Orem City Fee Schedule' — a genuinely governing, city-published cross-reference rather than an invented figure. Orem's own currently-adopted FY 2025-2026 Adopted Budget Fee Schedule (Exhibit B) prices Sprinkler System Inspections (office plan check, hydro test, flush, and final inspection) by project square footage; this is the figure Lindon's own schedule points to.

VerifiedRequired for installation of a new fire alarm system, or modification/extension of an existing system, for new construction or a tenant improvement in Lindon.

Change of Use / Change of Occupancy (Business License Application)
VerifiedLindon City does not publish a standalone Change of Use or Change of Occupancy permit or fee. Per Lindon's own official Business License FAQ, any change of use — a new business occupying an existing building or tenant space, or an existing business relocating to a new address within Lindon — is processed through the standard Business License Application: the application is routed to the Planning Department for zoning and signage compliance, to the Building Department for ordinance compliance and an on-site inspection, and to the Fire Department (Orem City Fire Prevention Division) if needed for final approval, taking approximately 10 to 14 days. Where construction is required to accommodate the new use, that work is permitted and billed separately under this file's commercial-building-permit or commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entries — this entry covers only the use/occupancy-change review itself, not any associated construction.
