EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Santaquin, Utah

Santaquin City's Building Permit Fees schedule has no standalone "Electrical Permit," "EV Charger," or "EVSE" line item. Building Permit & Inspection Fees are "Cost Determined by Structure" — assessed on construction valuation per the current IRC Building Valuation Data sheet — with a 65% Plan Review Deposit and a 1% State Building Fee. EV charger/EVSE installation is therefore billed through this same single valuation-based Building Permit fee, with no distinct electrical or EV carve-out anywhere in the schedule.

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.
