Commercial Building Permit in Lindon, Utah

Required 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.

Tips

  • New multi-family and commercial construction pays a Plan Review Fee of 65% of the permit fee — well above the 25% rate applied to residential construction — per Lindon's 2025-2026 Fee Schedule.
  • The Building Permit Application Fee for new multi-family/commercial construction isn't a flat dollar figure like residential's $500 SFD fee — it's billed as the 'Full Plan Review Fee' amount, so budget for it as roughly 65% of the eventual Building Permit Fee.
  • The Public Improvement Repair Assurance bond for new multi-family/commercial projects is 'As determined by the City Engineer' rather than a fixed dollar amount like the $5,000/$2,500 residential bonds — confirm the amount with the Building Department before budgeting.

Lindon does not publish a flat commercial building-permit fee. The Building Permit Fee is valuation-based under 1997 Uniform Building Code Table 1-A (the same method used for residential permits), the Building Permit Application Fee for new multi-family and commercial construction equals the Full Plan Review Fee, and the Plan Review Fee itself is billed at 65% of the permit fee for commercial projects — versus 25% for residential — per Lindon's 2025-2026 Fee Schedule.

No. Lindon does not publish a commercial-specific plan-review turnaround time. Utah Code § 10-20-909's 14-business-day plan-review requirement (17 business days total including the 3-day screening period) is scoped by statute to one- and two-family dwellings, townhomes, and other residential structures — not commercial or multi-family buildings — so that figure does not apply here.

You'll need: Commercial Plan Submittal Checklist; Building Permit Application. Depending on your project, Lindon may also ask for: Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP); Complete Set of Fire Sprinkler Plans. See the required-documents checklist on this page for details on each.

Lindon requires 5 inspection(s) for a commercial building permit, in order: Foundation / Footing Inspection, Framing Inspection (Structural, Rough Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical), Fire Sprinkler and/or Fire Alarm Rough-In, Insulation and Energy Compliance Inspection, Final Building Inspection.

No Lindon-specific code-edition statement was found on lindon.gov's Building & Inspection page, Building Department Forms & Applications page, or in the current Fee Schedule; Lindon has not published a local amendment opting out of the statewide code, so the statutory statewide edition is used here rather than invented city-specific text.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), as amended by the State of Utah — effective statewide July 1, 2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (2026 General Session update); no Lindon-specific IBC edition statement found on the city's own site.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — adopted statewide under Utah Code § 15A-2-103; no Lindon-specific NEC edition statement found on the city's own site.; 2015 International Plumbing Code (IPC), Table 403.1 — cited by name in Lindon City's own current Fee Schedule (Sewer Utility Fee and Water Utility Fee sections: 'Based on Table 403.1 in 2015 International Plumbing Code as currently adopted or as may be amended'), effective 07/01/2026 fee schedule. This is Lindon's own published reference to a specific plumbing-code edition/table used for utility base-rate sizing, distinct from the statewide construction-code IPC edition.; Other 2024 International Codes (IMC, IEBC, IECC) — adopted statewide alongside the 2024 IBC per Utah Code § 15A-2-103, effective July 1, 2026; not individually itemized by name on Lindon's own Building & Inspection page..
