Tips
- Santaquin's fee-schedule PDF labels the $500 Plan Review Deposit 'new construction only,' which creates ambiguity for a tenant-improvement project that is not literally new construction — the Building Permits page's broader statement ('New single-family, multi-family, or commercial permits require a $500.00 Plan Review Deposit') is not itself scoped to exclude tenant improvements, but the discrepancy is not resolved anywhere in Santaquin's published materials. Confirm directly with the Building Department (801-754-1011) whether a specific TI project is billed the deposit.
- No separate tenant-improvement or commercial-remodel fee line exists in Santaquin's schedule — budget using the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee formula as new construction.
- No distinct 'Change of Use' or 'Certificate of Occupancy' permit, application, or fee line was found anywhere in Santaquin's published materials as of a direct check on 2026-07-20 — checked the Updated Building Permit Fees PDF (04-02-2026), the Resolution 06-04-2026 consolidated fee schedule, the Building Permits and Business Licensing pages on ut-santaquin.civicplus.com, and the CitizenServe online permit portal, with zero matches for either term. Santaquin's own municipal code (santaquin.municipalcodeonline.com) could not be searched directly — it renders through a JavaScript application that returns no server-side text to automated fetch tools — so a code-level 'Certificate of Occupancy Required' or 'Change of Use' section, if one exists, could not be confirmed or ruled out. Confirm directly with the Building Department, (801) 754-1011, before assuming a tenant use change with no construction scope is (or is not) processed as a standard building permit.

Santaquin, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here. Santaquin's Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16) states generically that the division enforces 'health, safety, International Building Code, and City Code requirements' without itemizing an edition year.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide transition. Santaquin's official fee schedule and basement-finish/accessory-structure submittal packets repeatedly reference 'the current Building Valuation Data sheet from the IRC' (a cost-valuation table, not an edition-year assertion).; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not itemized anywhere on Santaquin's own Building Department pages, added here per statute.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CORRECTED: this file previously combined IPC/IMC/IECC into one undated entry described as tracking 'alongside the IBC/IRC,' which is no longer accurate now that IBC (2024), IRC (2021), and these trade codes (2024) diverge in edition year. CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); Santaquin does not publish a separate municipal amendment to this trade code.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); Santaquin does not publish a separate municipal amendment to this trade code.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); not itemized on Santaquin's own Building Department pages, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); Santaquin does not publish a separate municipal amendment to this trade code.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); MISSING ENTIRELY from this file's prior codesAdopted list despite being a statute-mandated code — added here since electrical work is explicitly listed among Santaquin's permit-required categories (see 'Do You Need a Permit?' form) but no electrical-code edition was itemized anywhere on the City's own pages.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized on Santaquin's own Building Department pages, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized on Santaquin's own Building Department pages, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Santaquin City Code — local building-permit administration and requirements (permit-required project list, accessory-structure setback/fire-rating rules, sign-permit rules) are published on the Building Department's official pages (ut-santaquin.civicplus.com); the full underlying municipal code text (historically hosted at sterlingcodifiers.com, book_id=303) was not renderable via automated fetch as of this file's verification date (the sterlingcodifiers.com domain did not resolve/timed out on repeated attempts) — the specific requirements below are sourced directly from Santaquin's own Building Department PDFs and pages, not from the codifier mirror.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. Santaquin's Building Department page (ut-santaquin.civicplus.com/1478/Building-Department) was live-checked 2026-07-16 and states only the generic phrase 'International Building Code' with no edition year and no separate mention of IRC/IPC/IMC/IECC/NEC at all — so no page-vs-statute lag could be detected; the statute is cited directly as governing throughout. This re-verification also corrected a genuine defect: NEC was entirely absent from the prior codesAdopted list, and IPC/IMC/IECC had been lumped into one undated entry implying they track IBC/IRC in lockstep, which stopped being accurate once IBC (2024) and IRC (2021) diverged.. Local amendments apply — see the Santaquin overview page for the full list.
