This is PermitBase’s published record for North Ogden as of 2026-07-13. It has since been superseded — see the current record.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.

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.'

SUPERSEDED FIGURE: Resolution 03-2026 (adopted January 13, 2026) published this deposit at $1,000.00; confirmed via direct page-3 comparison of both editions (03-2026 recovered via Wayback Machine snapshot dated 2026-01-17, since its live PDF now 404s) that Resolution 05-2026 raised it to $1,500.00.

| Impact Fees (single-family residential, illustrative components) | Storm Water $2,186.49; Water $6,273.70; Sewer $873.20; Sewer (CWSID) $3,575.00 (effective July 1, 2026; $3,537.00 prior to that date); Parks $6,017.26; Public Safety $388.93; Transportation $2,297.37; Fire $477.85 | North Ogden City Consolidated Fee Schedule, Resolution 05-2026 (adopted May 12, 2026, effective May 13, 2026 — current edition, superseding Resolution 03-2026), Impact Fee Summary (page 13-14). All figures unchanged from the 03-2026 edition except the Central Weber Improvement Sewer District (CWSID) single-family sewer impact fee: the Impact Fee Summary table itself publishes a scheduled step-up from $3,537.00 to $3,575.00 'effective July 1, 2026.' As of this 2026-07-13 verification, that effective date has passed, so $3,575.00 is now the governing figure; $3,537.00 is retained parenthetically as the pre-July-1-2026 rate for historical reference. Multi-family and 'Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU)' rows in the same table publish different, lower per-unit or per-square-foot rates (e.g., ADU Water $4,893.50, ADU Sewer $681.10, ADU Fire $236.53, ADU Transportation $915.19) — these are impact-fee-schedule tiers by dwelling type, not a separate 'ADU permit' application fee. |
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.

| Excavation Permit | $75.00 + Road Cut Fee ($2.50 per sq ft) — shares the Road Cut Fee formula below; no separate flat Excavation Permit fee is published | CORRECTED 2026-07-13: this entry previously listed a standalone 'Excavation Permit' fee of $1,000.00, but that figure does not appear in either the Resolution 03-2026 or Resolution 05-2026 (current, adopted May 12, 2026, effective May 13, 2026) editions of the Consolidated Fee Schedule. Direct visual inspection of the Building Permit Fees table (page 3) in both editions shows 'Excavation Permit' and 'Road Cut Fee' sharing a single merged fee cell — '$75.00 + Road Cut Fee' / '$2.50 per Sq Ft' — with no distinct dollar figure for Excavation Permit alone. The $1,000.00 previously recorded here most likely came from a mis-mapped extraction (the same $1,000.00 value that correctly belongs to the separate 'Mining/Crushing Permit' line item). Corrected to match the actual published fee structure rather than carrying forward an unsupported figure, per the zero-fabrication policy. |
