A historical record reflects what PermitBase had verified at that time; it may not capture a real-world change the jurisdiction had made but PermitBase had not yet verified, and it includes any errors we later corrected.

Electrical Permit
VerifiedRequired for electrical work in Springville. Unlike Provo's ≤4-unit MEP-inclusion model, Springville does NOT bundle electrical into the building permit fee — electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits must be applied for and paid separately by each subcontractor, even on new residential building permits. EV charger/EVSE installation is electrical work and falls under this standalone Electrical Permit; the FY2025 Comprehensive Fee Schedule and Building Division page do not publish a separate EV-specific line item or process.

Fire Sprinkler, Alarm, and Hood Plan Review Permit
Required for fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, and hood extinguishing systems in Springville. Per the city's own Fire and Rescue 'Fire Sprinkler, Alarm and Hood Plan Inspections' page, the Springville City Fire Marshal — not the Building Division — reviews these plans directly, and 'Upon approval construction permits will be issued.' This is a genuinely distinct review track from the Building Division's My City Inspector process used for the residential/commercial building permits in this file, but no separate dollar fee for fire plan review or fire-marshal inspection was found published anywhere on springvilleutah.gov or in the FY2025 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Exhibit B) as of 2026-07-20 — that schedule's only fire-adjacent 'Alarm Permit Fee' ($25.00, line 103) is filed under 'Public Safety Fees' immediately after Dog License/Animal Shelter fees and billed under Resolution No. 98-35, which is the Police Department's burglar/security alarm registration permit, not a fire-marshal life-safety-system fee — it is NOT included here as it would misattribute an unrelated fee. Re-chased 2026-07-20: located and checked the newer FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (published 2025-09, springvilleutah.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/09/FY-2026-Comprehensive-Fee-Schedule.pdf), which supersedes the FY2025 edition — it shows the same unrelated $25.00 Police-Department 'Alarm Permit Fee' (renumbered line 101) and no fire-marshal-specific plan-review or permit fee anywhere in its ~2,300 line items, including its Building Fees and Public Works sections (checked a $1,065.02 'Plan Check Fee' at line 410, which is a Public Works/utility-extension plan-check fee tied to water meter and fire hydrant meter infrastructure, not fire-system life-safety plan review). The Fire and Rescue 'Fire Sprinkler, Alarm and Hood Plan Inspections' page was also re-fetched directly and is unchanged — it still states construction permits are issued upon Fire Marshal approval but publishes no dollar figure.

The FY2025 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Exhibit B, Public Safety Fees, line 103) lists only an unrelated 'Alarm Permit Fee — $25.00' under Resolution No. 98-35, which context (adjacent Dog License and False Alarm Response line items) identifies as the Police Department's burglar/security-alarm registration fee, not a fire-system plan-review fee — omitted here rather than misattributed. Re-chased 2026-07-20: located the newer FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (springvilleutah.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/09/FY-2026-Comprehensive-Fee-Schedule.pdf, published 2025-09, supersedes the FY2025 edition) and confirmed the same unrelated $25.00 Police-Department fee (renumbered line 101) is the only 'alarm' line item in the entire ~2,300-line schedule — no fire-marshal plan-review or permit fee exists there either. It is possible fire-system review costs are absorbed into the general Building Permit Fee / Plan Check Fee ('Assessed by Plans Examiner,' per the residential/commercial permit entries in this file), but no Springville-published source confirms that mechanism specifically for fire-marshal review; confirm directly with the Fire Marshal's office, (801) 491-5602. THIRD re-chase pass 2026-07-20: (1) ran a full Wayback CDX sweep of the entire springvilleutah.gov domain (2,377 archived URLs) filtered for fire/fee/sprinkler/marshal terms -- turned up nothing beyond an unrelated Art City Days 'Grand Marshal' page; no dedicated fire-fee PDF exists outside the Comprehensive Fee Schedule already checked. (2) Located and read Springville City Code Chapter 3-4 (Fire Code) directly (codepublishing.com blocks direct fetch with 403; retrieved via Wayback archive snapshot instead) -- it contains no fire sprinkler/alarm/hood permit fee section. The only fee reference in the entire chapter is for underground LPG storage tank permits, which states the fee is 'to be set by the City Council from time to time' -- i.e., confirms fees for fire-related permits are set by Council resolution (the Comprehensive Fee Schedule) rather than codified in the Fire Code itself, and that schedule (already checked twice, FY2025 and FY2026, ~2,300 line items) has no fire-marshal plan-review or sprinkler/alarm/hood line item. (3) Checked Springville City Council agenda/minutes archive and Utah PMN postings for any resolution specifically setting a Fire Marshal plan-review fee -- none found. This is a fourth independent negative confirmation (live Fire and Rescue page, FY2025 schedule, FY2026 schedule, Fire Code chapter itself) that no such fee is published anywhere by the city. Genuinely appears to be assessed case-by-case by the Fire Marshal rather than posted. Do not re-chase without a direct answer from the Fire Marshal's office or a newly adopted fee resolution. FOURTH SCHEDULE EDITION CHECKED, 2026-08-16: the Fiscal 2026-2027 Comprehensive Fee Schedule in the Springville City FY 2026-2027 Interim Budget (published July 2026) was swept in full and contains NO fire-marshal plan-review, sprinkler, alarm or hood permit fee — grep for 'fire marshal', 'sprinkler' and 'hood' returns no fee line anywhere in the 289-page document. The only 'Alarm Permit Fee' remains the $25.00 line under Resolution No. 98-35, and that budget's own narrative section states outright: 'Police — the department proposes doubling the alarm permit fee from $25', which independently and conclusively confirms this file's long-standing attribution of that line to the Police Department rather than to fire-system review. This permit type therefore stays 'partial': what still cannot be established is any published dollar figure for Fire Marshal plan review or inspection. Do not re-chase without a direct answer from the Fire Marshal's office, (801) 491-5602. |

Change of Use Permit
VerifiedRequired when a unit or building's use changes from what it was previously used for — for example, converting a storage space to a print shop. Per Springville's Building FAQ: 'A Change of Use permit is to evaluate the building's space and use to make sure the building is meeting current code for the type of business being conducted inside... which also affects the occupancy load of that space, the ADA compliance requirements, and possible number of bathrooms and/or drinking fountains required.' This is also the mechanism a business must complete before occupying interior space in a shell building that has only received a Certificate of Completion for its exterior structure, since the shell permit's approved plan set never addressed interior occupant load or use. Springville does not publish a separate standalone 'Certificate of Occupancy Permit' product — 'C of O' is issued as the outcome of the underlying building/commercial permit's own final inspection (see the Final inspection step in this file's Residential and Commercial Building Permit entries), and the Change of Use Permit is the distinct product Springville uses specifically when a space's use changes without accompanying new construction.

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedSpringville does not publish a distinct EV-charger/EVSE fee category. Installing electric vehicle charging equipment (EVSE) is electrical work and falls under the city's standalone Electrical Permit — a separate trade permit applied for and paid by the electrical subcontractor, distinct from the building permit. This is confirmed directly by Springville's own electrical-permit entry, which explicitly states EV charger/EVSE installation falls under this standalone Electrical Permit and that the FY2025 Comprehensive Fee Schedule publishes no separate EV-specific line item. Springville's fee schedule also does not publish a distinct dollar figure for the electrical trade permit itself (only the Building Permit Fee and Plan Check Fee, both 'Assessed by Plans Examiner').
