Permit types & fees
Residential Building Permit (New Construction)
VerifiedRequired for new single-family residential construction in Heber City. The Building Permit fee is valuation-based, calculated from the Building Safety Journal fee tables published by the International Code Council (ICC) and updated biannually, per the city's current Consolidated Fee Schedule. A Plan Review fee of 25% of the building permit fee (minimum $60) also applies. Heber City's Consolidated Fee Schedule (Ordinance 2025-15, Exhibit A, Building Fees table) lists standalone electrical inspection fees — 'Temporary Power Pedestal Inspection' ($60.00), 'Electrical Service Change-Out Inspection' ($60.00), and 'Other (Electrical, Building, Mechanical, and Plumbing)' ($60.00) — but no distinct EV charger/EVSE line item as of 2026-07-19; a standalone home charger installation would most likely fall under the $60.00 'Other (Electrical...)' inspection fee or the general ICC-valuation-based Building Permit fee.

Requirements
- No person may erect, install, or paint any sign, or change the face of any sign — temporary or permanent — without a sign permit from the Community Development Department, except as specifically exempted; this includes new signs, signs added to existing buildings/uses, and existing signs being enlarged, changed, or modified (City Code § 18.103.110)
- Monument and freestanding signs, and wall/attached signs, each have their own required submittal package (see documents below); temporary signs require a plot plan and a stated display period (§ 18.103.130)
- A wide list of signs never needs a permit at all — directional/instructional signs (≤4 sq ft, ≤4 ft height), no trespassing/no dumping signs, small plaques (≤2 sq ft), religious/historical symbols (≤8 sq ft), one 32-sq-ft institutional monument sign for churches/schools/government buildings, small flags, public necessity signs, memorial plaques, and notice bulletin boards (≤32 sq ft) among others (§ 18.103.080)

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
Heber City does not publish a distinct EV-charger/EVSE permit or fee line item. The city's Consolidated Fee Schedule (Ordinance 2025-15, Exhibit A, Building Fees table) lists standalone electrical inspection fees — 'Temporary Power Pedestal Inspection' ($60.00), 'Electrical Service Change-Out Inspection' ($60.00), and 'Other (Electrical, Building, Mechanical, and Plumbing)' ($60.00) — and prices new-construction building permits on the ICC Building Safety Journal valuation table. A standalone EV charger installation not tied to new construction would most likely fall under the $60.00 'Other (Electrical...)' inspection fee or the general valuation-based Building Permit fee, but no source explicitly names EV chargers, so this is not asserted as certain.

Fire Sprinkler System Permit
VerifiedHeber City does not publish a distinct fire sprinkler system permit or fee line item — a direct text search of the current Consolidated Fee Schedule for 'fire,' 'sprinkler,' and 'alarm' on 2026-07-21 returned only an unrelated Police Section 'Third False Alarm' ($50.00) fee, no Building-fee sprinkler line item. Sprinkler plans (for new construction or tenant improvement) are submitted as part of the same Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit plan set filed with Heber City — those permit types' own code-analysis-summary requirement explicitly calls for disclosing 'sprinkler status.' Fire protection and fire-code plan review for Heber City is provided by Wasatch Fire District (WFD), a separate agency, whose own Exhibit 'A' District Fee Schedule (Resolution 22-04) bills sprinkler review through its general valuation-based 'Inspection and Plan Review' fee (Commercial: valuation x 0.00075) or its flat $225.00 'Non-Structural Fire & Life Safety/Project Clearance Plan Review' fee, rather than a standalone sprinkler-specific charge.

| WFD Inspection and Plan Review — Commercial | Valuation x 0.00075 | Wasatch Fire District Exhibit 'A' District Fee Schedule (Resolution 22-04), 'Inspection and Plan Review Fees' table: 'Inspection and Plan Review – Commercial: Valuation x 0.00075.' Read directly from the fee schedule PDF (cdn.sqhk.co/wasatchfd/SNhghjJ/Resolution22-04ExhibitAFeeSchedule) on 2026-07-21. No separate fire-sprinkler-specific line item exists in either the Heber City or WFD fee schedules; this valuation-based fee is the governing charge covering fire-code plan review, including sprinkler system plans, as part of the broader commercial plan set. |
| WFD Inspection and Plan Review — Residential (in WUI) | Valuation x 0.00075 | Same WFD Exhibit 'A' Fee Schedule; applies to residential fire-sprinkler-bearing projects located within the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). |
| WFD Inspection and Plan Review — Residential (non-WUI) | Valuation x 0.0003 | Same WFD Exhibit 'A' Fee Schedule; applies to residential projects outside the WUI — a lower rate than the Commercial/WUI-Residential tier. |
| WFD Non-Structural Fire & Life Safety / Project Clearance Plan Review | $225.00 flat | Same WFD Exhibit 'A' Fee Schedule, 'Inspection and Plan Review Fees' table: 'Non-Structural Fire & Life Safety/Project Clearance Plan Reviews: $225.' Most likely the applicable WFD fee for a standalone sprinkler retrofit not tied to new construction or a valuation-based building permit, though WFD's fee schedule does not explicitly name sprinkler systems under this line item — reported as the closest-fitting published category rather than asserted as certain. |
| Heber City Building Permit Fee (if bundled with new construction/TI) | Valuation-based per the ICC Building Safety Journal fee tables, updated biannually | Applies on the Heber City side when the sprinkler system is installed as part of new commercial construction or a tenant improvement project, per the Consolidated Fee Schedule § 4 Building; the sprinkler work itself carries no separate city-side fee line item. |
Fire Alarm and Detection System Permit
VerifiedHeber City does not publish a distinct fire alarm/detection system permit or fee line item — a direct text search of the current Consolidated Fee Schedule for 'fire,' 'sprinkler,' and 'alarm' on 2026-07-21 returned only an unrelated Police Section 'Third False Alarm' ($50.00) fee, no Building-fee fire-alarm line item. Fire alarm system plans (for new construction or tenant improvement) are submitted as part of the same Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit plan set filed with Heber City. Fire protection and fire-code plan review for Heber City is provided by Wasatch Fire District (WFD), a separate agency, whose own Exhibit 'A' District Fee Schedule (Resolution 22-04) bills fire alarm plan review through its general valuation-based 'Inspection and Plan Review' fee (Commercial: valuation x 0.00075) or its flat $225.00 'Non-Structural Fire & Life Safety/Project Clearance Plan Review' fee, rather than a standalone fire-alarm-specific charge.
