Tips
- La Verkin's sign fees are itemized separately from general building permit fees in the Consolidated Fee Schedule's dedicated 'Signs' category: $75 initial inspection, $42 re-inspection, $50 per-sign addition fee, and $25 per-sign for temporary signs extending over the public right-of-way on private property.
- The building inspector has 5 days to review a sign permit application for completeness and, if incomplete, must notify the applicant of specific deficiencies within that same window, per City Code 10-11-4(B).
- Flag poles over 25 feet require a full building permit with engineer-stamped plans, not just the standard sign permit.
- Off-premises nonconforming signs need annual permit renewal with detailed ownership and financial disclosures.

La Verkin, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — current statewide-mandatory edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective July 1, 2026. La Verkin City Code Title 9, Chapter 1, § 9-1-2 'Building Code Adopted' locally codifies 'the 2021 edition of the international building code' (last amended by Ord. 2024-06, 2-21-2024 — before the 2026 statewide flip); confirmed by a direct read of the full ordinance text via the Browser pane on 2026-07-16. codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/laverkinut is in fact fully readable (the entire Chapter 1 text renders on a standard page load) — a prior note in this file calling it an unrenderable React app was incorrect and has been corrected. The city's own ordinance has not yet been updated to the 2024 edition; the statewide statute governs regardless, as La Verkin is bound as a Utah municipality under § 15A-1-204.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b); unchanged by the July 1, 2026 statewide update. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-3 'Residential Code Adopted' also names the 2021 edition (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — city ordinance and statute agree here.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); unchanged by the July 1, 2026 statewide update. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-4 'Electrical Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2020 version of the national electrical code' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — a pre-existing lag on the city's own ordinance, predating and unrelated to the July 2026 flip (the statewide NEC cycle had already advanced past 2020 in an earlier update).; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective July 1, 2026. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-5 'Plumbing Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2021 version' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — not yet updated to the 2024 edition.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective July 1, 2026. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-6 'Fuel Gas Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2021 version' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — not yet updated to the 2024 edition.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective July 1, 2026. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-7 'Mechanical Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2021 version' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — not yet updated to the 2024 edition.; International Fire Code (IFC) — La Verkin City Code § 9-1-8 'Fire Code Adopted' locally codifies 'the 2021 edition of the international fire code, as amended and adopted by the state,' referencing the state fire code at Utah Code Title 15A, Chapter 5 (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16), enforced in coordination with Hurricane Valley Fire Special Service District. Utah Code § 15A-2-103 does not itemize the IFC — the state fire code is a separate provision under Title 15A, Chapter 5, not part of the § 15A-2-103(1) construction-code list, so the IFC edition is unaffected by the § 15A-2-103 July 1, 2026 flip.; International Wildland-Urban Interface Code — La Verkin City Code § 9-1-9 'Wildland-Urban Interface Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2020 edition' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16), which differs from the statewide baseline 2006 edition (with Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands amendments) available for local adoption under Utah Code § 15A-2-103(2) — a separate statutory provision from Subsection (1) and unaffected by the July 1, 2026 flip to the Subsection (1) codes.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective July 1, 2026. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-10 'Energy Conservation Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2018 version' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — a substantial pre-existing lag on the city's own ordinance (predating even the prior 2021 statewide IECC cycle), unrelated to the July 2026 flip.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), effective July 1, 2026. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-12 'Existing Building Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2021 edition' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — not yet updated to the 2024 edition.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — current statewide edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), effective July 1, 2026. La Verkin City Code § 9-1-13 'Swimming Pool And Spa Code Adopted' locally codifies the '2021 edition' (confirmed via direct read 2026-07-16) — not yet updated to the 2024 edition.; Modular Building Institute Standards 1200 and 1205 — adopted statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); La Verkin City Code Title 9, Chapter 1 does not separately address modular buildings, but the statewide standard applies regardless.. Local amendments apply — see the La Verkin overview page for the full list.
