Sign Permit in Ivins, Utah

Ivins City charges a distinct Sign Permit fee, separate from the general Building Permit fee: $50.00 per the Consolidated Fee Schedule (Ordinance No. 2024-12, effective 07/01/2024, 'PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT' section), plus a $5.00 '45 Day Temporary Sign Permit' for temporary signage. This corrects a gap in this file's commercial-building-permit entry, whose tips previously stated no dedicated sign-permit fee existed — that finding relied on a plain-text extraction of the Consolidated Fee Schedule PDF, which is an image/scanned document and silently drops content under plain-text extraction; a direct visual/OCR read of the same PDF (page 5 of 8) surfaced the Sign Permit line. Under Ivins City Code § 16.21.102, the application required to install, erect, construct, or modify a sign is the same class of use application (Class I through V) that would be required to establish the use or activity the sign is associated with, and § 16.21.104 states a sign application may also require a separate building permit, as required by the adopted building code.

Tips

  • Ivins does charge a distinct Sign Permit fee ($50.00, plus $5.00 for a 45-day temporary sign) under the Consolidated Fee Schedule's Planning & Development section — this fee schedule is a scanned/image PDF that silently drops content under plain-text extraction, which is why an earlier pass on this file (reflected in the commercial-building-permit entry's tips) concluded no distinct sign fee existed; that conclusion was corrected 2026-07-21 via direct visual/OCR review.
  • A sign application may separately trigger the valuation-based Building Permit fee (plus 10% Plan Check and 1% State Permit Tax) if the sign involves footings, foundations, or electrical connections, per Ivins City Code § 16.21.104 — budget for both fee tracks if applicable.
  • The specific application class (Class I through V) required for a sign depends on the use it is associated with, per § 16.21.102 — confirm the correct class and any site-plan/drawing requirements with the Building/Zoning Department, (435) 634-9753, before submitting.

Ivins, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — adopted via Ivins City Ordinance No. 2025-08 amending Title 14 'Buildings and Construction' (which adopts the state construction code by reference, per Ivins City Code Title 14, Ch.1, and so auto-tracks statutory changes); Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); unaffected by the 7/1/2026 statute revision, continues in force; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); unaffected by the 7/1/2026 statute revision, continues in force; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), residential provisions — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition; Ivins charges a distinct Pool Permit Fee ($300, per its Consolidated Fee Schedule); NOTE: Effective July 1, 2026 (now in force) — 2024 editions of IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC, and ISPSC replaced the 2021 editions per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027; text independently re-verified live at le.utah.gov 2026-07-16). The 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC were unaffected and remain in force. Because Ivins Ordinance No. 2025-08 adopts the state code by reference rather than restating specific editions, Ivins is not expected to have a separate city-document lag of the kind seen in some sibling cities — this was not independently re-verified against the amlegal-hosted Ivins Code text this session (that site's full ordinance text is not renderable via automated fetch, per the localAmendments entry above).. Local amendments apply — see the Ivins overview page for the full list.

The type of application required for a sign is the same class of use application (Class I through V) that would be required to establish the use the sign is associated with, per Ivins City Code § 16.21.102 — a sign for an already-permitted use is typically processed under a Class I application.
