Residential Building Permit (New Construction) in Heber City, Utah

Required 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.

  • Building or installing without first completing Plan Review and obtaining a Permit doubles the standard fee under the city's own Consolidated Fee Schedule.
  • Northwest Heber City may require a soils report due to problem soils in that area — confirm with the Building Department if your parcel is in that section of town.
  • Heber City's Consolidated Fee Schedule (Ordinance 2025-15, Exhibit A 'Building Fees' table, checked 2026-07-19) lists a flat $60.00 fee for 'Other (Electrical, Building, Mechanical, and Plumbing)' work and for Temporary Power Pedestal / Electrical Service Change-Out inspections, but no separate EV charger/EVSE line item.
