Re-inspection fees

Residential Building Permit

Re-inspection Fee · Springville Residential Building Permit Checklist (2026 edition), at the URL this record cites: 'One re-inspection is allowed for each required inspection. Show full citation

Re-inspection Fee · Springville Residential Building Permit Checklist (2026 edition), at the URL this record cites: 'One re-inspection is allowed for each required inspection. Additional inspections require a $85 re-inspection fee.' The superseded July 2023 text of the same checklist listed $65.00; the 2026 edition at the same URL prints $85.00. Springville's residential and commercial re-inspection fees are now the same amount.

$85.00 for each additional inspection beyond the one re-inspection allowed per required inspection.

Residential Addition / Remodel Permit (includes Basement Finish)

Re-inspection Fee · Springville Basement Improvement Permit Checklist (2026 edition), at the cited URL: 'One re-inspection is allowed for each required inspection. Show full citation

Re-inspection Fee · Springville Basement Improvement Permit Checklist (2026 edition), at the cited URL: 'One re-inspection is allowed for each required inspection. Additional inspections require a $85 re-inspection fee.' The superseded July 2023 text of the same checklist stated $65.00; the 2026 edition at the same URL prints $85.00. Springville's residential and commercial re-inspection fees are now the same amount.

$85.00 for additional inspections beyond the one included re-inspection.

Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit

Re-inspection Fee · Springville Tenant Improvement Checklist (2026 edition, rendered page image, 2026-08-16): 'One re-inspection is allowed for each required inspection and is included in the permit fees, after which any additional inspections require a $85 re-inspection fee.' UNCHANGED at $85.00. Note that as of the 2026 checklists this is no longer higher than the residential rate — the residential and basement checklists now also print $85.00 (they printed $65.00 in their July 2023 editions).

$85.00 for each additional inspection beyond the one included re-inspection per required inspection.

Fire Sprinkler, Alarm, and Hood Plan Review Permit

Fire Plan Review / Inspection Fee · Springville's 'Fire Sprinkler, Alarm and Hood Plan Inspections' page (springvilleutah.gov/fire-rescue/inspections-permits/fire-inspection/fire-inspection-plans/) states plans are reviewed by the Fire Marshal and permits issued upon approval, but publishes no fee amount. 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. The newer FY2026 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (springvilleutah.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/09/FY-2026-Comprehensive-Fee-Schedule.pdf, published 2025-09, superseding the FY2025 edition) carries the same unrelated $25.00 Police-Department fee (renumbered line 101) as the only 'alarm' line item in the entire ~2,300-line schedule — no fire-marshal plan-review or permit fee appears there either, and no dedicated fire-fee PDF exists outside the Comprehensive Fee Schedule. Springville City Code Chapter 3-4 (Fire Code, hosted at codepublishing.com) contains no fire sprinkler/alarm/hood permit fee section; its only fee reference, for underground LPG storage tank permits, states the fee is 'to be set by the City Council from time to time' — confirming fees for fire-related permits are set by Council resolution (the Comprehensive Fee Schedule) rather than codified in the Fire Code itself. No City Council resolution or Utah Public Meeting Notice posting specifically setting a Fire Marshal plan-review fee has been adopted or published. The Fiscal 2026-2027 Comprehensive Fee Schedule in the Springville City FY 2026-2027 Interim Budget (published July 2026) likewise contains no fire-marshal plan-review, sprinkler, alarm or hood permit fee 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 confirms that line belongs to the Police Department rather than to fire-system review. 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), but no Springville-published source confirms that mechanism specifically for fire-marshal review. No published dollar figure for Fire Marshal plan review or inspection exists; the fee appears to be assessed case-by-case by the Fire Marshal. Confirm directly with the Fire Marshal's office, (801) 491-5602.

No fire-marshal-specific dollar figure was found published on springvilleutah.gov or in any of the FY2025, FY 2026 or Fiscal 2026-2027 Comprehensive Fee Schedules.
