This is PermitBase’s published record for North Ogden as of 2026-07-07. It has since been superseded — see the current record. A historical record reflects what PermitBase had verified at that time; it may not capture a real-world change the jurisdiction had made but PermitBase had not yet verified, and it includes any errors we later corrected. Snapshots are never edited retroactively.

Codes adopted

North Ogden City's official Building Codes page states only that the city 'recognizes the current adopted Utah State Building Code' — it does not itemize individual code titles or edition years on its own page (confirmed on repeated fetches of northogdencity.gov/departments/building/building_codes.php).Statewide framework (Utah Code Title 15A, Uniform Building Standard Act): as of the code cycle effective July 1, 2026, the State of Utah has adopted the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC, continuing from the prior cycle), the 2024 International Building Code (IBC), the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC), and other 2024 International Codes (IPC, IMC, IEBC, IECC) — the same statewide cycle documented on Highland City's official Building Division page. North Ogden's own site does not confirm city-level adoption of each title by name; this entry cites the statewide framework North Ogden explicitly says it follows, without asserting North Ogden has separately re-published each edition/year.Design criteria published on North Ogden's official Building Codes page: Seismic Design Category D or E; Basic Wind Speed 115 mph; Exposure Category C; roof snow load calculated via the state-adopted snow load calculator; minimum footing frost depth of 30 inches; weathering condition classified as 'severe.'

Land Use Permit

North Ogden's Consolidated Fee Schedule publishes a single flat 'Land Use Permits' fee under the Planning Department section, distinct from the valuation-based Building Permit Fee. The city's official published sources do not break this category down into named sub-types (e.g., fence, shed, deck, retaining wall) the way some neighboring Utah cities' fee schedules do — it is published as one line item.
