Land Use Permit in North Ogden, Utah

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.

    Tips

    • Unlike Highland City (which separately itemizes fence, retaining wall, pool, and ADU fees), North Ogden's official fee schedule bundles Planning-Department-level land-use approvals for accessory features into one $40.00 'Land Use Permits' line — always confirm with the Building/Planning Department by phone which specific project types this covers before assuming it applies to a given accessory structure.
    • Contact the Planning Department directly at (801) 782-7211 or planning@northogdencity.gov to confirm whether a specific project (e.g., a fence or shed) requires this Land Use Permit, a Building Permit, or both.
    • Signs are not broken out as a separate permit type or fee in North Ogden's official Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 05-2026) — the Planning Department fee section lists only the flat $40.00 'Land Use Permits' line, with no distinct sign-permit fee found. Confirm with the Building/Planning Department whether a specific sign falls under this Land Use Permit or a separate process.

    North Ogden, Utah has 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 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103: as of the code cycle effective July 1, 2026 (confirmed current as of this 2026-07-16 re-verification), the State of Utah has adopted the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC, continuing from the prior cycle, § 15A-2-103(1)(b)), the 2024 International Building Code (IBC, § 15A-2-103(1)(a)), the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC, continuing from the prior cycle, § 15A-2-103(1)(g)), and other 2024 International Codes (IPC, IMC, IFGC, IEBC, IECC, and the residential provisions of the ISPSC, per § 15A-2-103(1)(d)/(e)/(f)/(i)/(h)/(n)) — 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 ('recognizes the current adopted Utah State Building Code'), without asserting North Ogden has separately re-published each edition/year.
