SUPERSEDED FIGURE: Resolution 03-2026 (adopted January 13, 2026) published this deposit at $1,000.00; confirmed via direct page-3 comparison of both editions (03-2026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passed, so $3,575.00 is now the governing figure; $3,537.00 is retained parenthetically as the pre-July-1-2026 rate for historical reference.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. |

Sign Permit
North Ogden requires a Sign Permit for placement of nearly all signs, per the city's Zoning Ordinance (CCNO 11-21-1(A)(1)): 'Sign permits, issued by the building department in coordination with the Community Development Department, are required for placement of all signs, except those signs authorized in CCNO 11-21-6A1 and CCNO 11-21-8, and windows signs.' The ordinance states the permit fee 'shall be established by resolution of the city council,' but a full direct page-by-page review of the current Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 05-2026, the very resolution the ordinance defers to) found no distinct 'sign' or 'sign permit' line item anywhere in its 15 pages.

| Sign Permit Fee | Not separately itemized in the current Consolidated Fee Schedule | CCNO 11-21-1(A)(1) states the sign permit fee 'shall be established by resolution of the city council,' but a full direct page-by-page review of the current Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 05-2026, adopted May 12, 2026, effective May 13, 2026 — the very council resolution the ordinance defers to) found zero mentions of 'sign' anywhere in the Building Department, Building Permit Fees, Business Licenses, Civil Penalties, or Planning Department sections (confirmed 2026-07-22). Because the ordinance assigns permit issuance to the Building Department, the Minimum Building Permit Fee ($56.40) is the most likely governing floor; the flat $40.00 Planning Department 'Land Use Permits' fee is a plausible alternative given other land-use categories are billed there. Confirm the exact fee directly with the Building Department, (801) 737-9837, before applying. |

Fire Sprinkler System Permit
North Ogden itself does not administer fire code enforcement — fire prevention, inspections, and plan review for the city are handled by North View Fire District (315 E. 2550 N., North Ogden, UT 84414, (801) 782-8159), which serves North Ogden, Pleasant View, and Harrisville. A direct, exhausted review of North View Fire District's official website (northviewfire.gov, including its Services, Administration, and Find It Fast pages) found no published fee schedule, plan-review page, or dollar figures for a fire sprinkler system permit — the only permit type published on the site's 'Find It Fast' page is the unrelated Burn Permit. North Ogden's own Building Codes page and its current Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 05-2026) likewise contain zero mention of 'fire sprinkler' or 'fire suppression.'

- Fire code compliance is governed by the state-adopted International Fire Code (2021 edition, effective July 1, 2023, per the Utah State Fire Marshal's Office) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (the statute governing North Ogden's other adopted construction codes) does not itself include the IFC; fire code authority sits with the State Fire Marshal's Board under a separate statutory chapter (confirmed by direct review of the current § 15A-2-103 text, 2026-07-22)

| Fire Sprinkler System Permit / Plan Review Fee | No distinct fee published | A direct, exhausted review of North View Fire District's official website (home page, /services, /north-view-fire-administration, and /find-it-fast pages, 2026-07-22) found no fee schedule, plan-review fee, or dollar figures for fire sprinkler systems anywhere on the site. North Ogden's own current Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 05-2026, full 15-page document directly reviewed) also contains zero mention of 'fire sprinkler' or 'fire suppression.' A fire sprinkler system installed as part of new commercial construction or tenant improvement would still trigger the underlying Commercial Building Permit Fee (1997 UBC Table 1A plus 20%) and Commercial Plan Check (65% of permit fee) documented in this file's Commercial Building Permit and Tenant Improvement entries; no additional named 'sprinkler' surcharge was found. |
Fire Alarm System Permit
As with fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm system permitting/plan review for North Ogden is not administered by the city's own Building Department — it falls to North View Fire District (315 E. 2550 N., North Ogden, UT 84414, (801) 782-8159), serving North Ogden, Pleasant View, and Harrisville. A direct, exhausted review of North View Fire District's official website found no published fee schedule, plan-review page, or dollar figures for fire alarm systems. North Ogden's current Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 05-2026) likewise contains zero mention of 'fire alarm.'

Change of Use / Change of Occupancy Review
North Ogden has no standalone 'Change of Use Permit' application or fee line item — a full-text search of the entire municipal code for the exact phrases 'certificate of occupancy' and 'change of use' returned zero results (live-searched 2026-07-20), and the current Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 05-2026) has no 'change of use' fee (re-confirmed via full document review, 2026-07-22). However, the city's Zoning Ordinance does substantively regulate use/occupancy changes under Title 11-5 (Nonconforming Uses, Noncomplying Structures and Parcels, and Nonconforming Lots): CCNO 11-5-5(1)(3) states that 'all changes to distinguishing traits or primary features of the use of a building or land as evidenced by increased parking requirements, change of occupancy, change of outside storage or other features... shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Title,' and CCNO 11-5-7 prohibits changing a nonconforming use to another nonconforming use. Where a change of use/occupancy involves a nonconforming use or structure, CCNO 11-5-5(1)(1-2) requires the applicant to obtain a Conditional Use Permit, including Site Plan Review, approved by the Planning Commission, before the use may be extended, altered, or expanded.
