Tips
- Even fee-exempt sign types like banners, streamers, and pennants still require a permit from the Development Services Department — a $0 fee does not mean no permit is needed.
- A-frame signs carry both an initial fee ($30.00) and a separate annual renewal fee ($15.00), unlike most other Payson sign categories which are one-time fees.

Payson, Utah has adopted: Payson City Code (PCC) Title 10, Chapter 10.04 ('Technical Construction Codes Adoption', PCC 10.04.040) adopts 'the technical construction codes' by reference for building, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical construction, without restating specific IBC/IRC/IMC/IPC/IECC/NEC edition years in the ordinance text itself — per the recodified Payson City Municipal Code (s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/municipalcodeonline.com-new/payson/ordinances/documents/1653339554_05-18-2022-D%20Recodified%20Municipal%20Code.pdf, Title 10.04, fetched 2026-07-03). This is consistent with Utah's Title 15A State Construction and Fire Codes Act model, under which every incorporated Utah city is automatically a compliance agency enforcing the state-adopted code suite; Payson's own ordinance text references 'the State Construction Code' and 'technical construction codes' generically rather than citing specific edition years.; International Fire Code (IFC), 2009 edition, is explicitly named with its year in Payson's own code: PCC 9.04.010 'Adoption Of International Fire Code' states the adopted code is 'marked and designated as the International Fire Code, including Appendix Chapters B, C, D, II, I & J (see International Fire Code 101.2.1, 2009 edition)' — per the same recodified Municipal Code document, Title 9.04, fetched 2026-07-03. NOTE: this 2009 IFC citation is the only explicit code-edition year found anywhere in Payson's own currently-published municipal code text; it substantially predates the 2021 IBC/IRC/2023 NEC statewide baseline described in Utah Code Title 15A and may reflect a stale, un-updated ordinance section rather than the code editions actually enforced today. Reported as-published rather than corrected, per grounded-data policy of not inventing a fact the city's own source does not state.; International Residential Code (IRC) — referenced generically ('in accordance with the requirements of the International Residential Code, as adopted') in PCC Title 10 without a stated edition year, per the same recodified Municipal Code document, fetched 2026-07-03.; International Building Code (IBC) — referenced generically ('the International Building Code as adopted by the State of Utah') in PCC Title 10 without a stated edition year, per the same recodified Municipal Code document, fetched 2026-07-03.; International Plumbing Code (IPC) — referenced generically ('The International Plumbing Code as adopted and amended by the State of Utah') in PCC Title 10 without a stated edition year, per the same recodified Municipal Code document, fetched 2026-07-03.; National Electrical Code (NEC) — referenced generically ('National Electrical Code, and all fittings and materials used in such installations') in PCC Title 10 without a stated edition year, per the same recodified Municipal Code document, fetched 2026-07-03.. Local amendments apply — see the Payson overview page for the full list.
