Residential Addition / Remodel / Basement Finish Permit in Lindon, Utah

Required 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.
