Codes adopted

Utah adopts construction codes statewide under Utah Code Title 15A (State Construction and Fire Codes Act), enforced by every jurisdiction. Chapter 4 of Title 15A codifies Legislature-enacted amendments for specific named jurisdictions (e.g., Park City, Salt Lake City, Sandy City) as part of the state construction code. Through June 30, 2026, the editions in force under Utah Code § 15A-2-103 are the 2021 IBC (with Appendices C and J), 2021 IRC, 2021 IPC, 2021 IMC, 2021 IFGC, 2021 IECC, 2021 IEBC, and 2021 ISPSC (residential provisions), together with the 2023 NEC. Effective July 1, 2026, § 15A-2-103 adopts the 2024 editions of the IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC, and ISPSC; the IRC remains the 2021 edition and the NEC remains the 2023 edition. Note: residential energy requirements are modified by statewide amendments, and several Utah jurisdictions document their residential energy provisions at the 2015 IECC level rather than the adopted IECC year — confirm the applicable residential energy code with your local jurisdiction. Always confirm the edition in force with your local jurisdiction.

• 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — current statewide code per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), in force since July 1, 2026, under the statewide preemption mandate of § 15A-1-204 (State Construction and Fire Codes Act); Pleasant View's own codified Title 15.04 text still references the 2000 IBC (Ord. 2002-10), but that codification is stale and superseded by the mandatory statewide cycle.
• 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — current statewide code per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) (unchanged by the July 1, 2026 code cycle flip); Pleasant View's Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) still labels its Table for Permit Fees 'Appendix L, 2015 IRC,' which is stale fee-table boilerplate, not evidence the city enforces an outdated code edition — plan review and inspections apply the current statewide IRC per § 15A-1-204.
• 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — current statewide code per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); Pleasant View's codified Title 15.16.010 references the 2000 IPC (stale codification), superseded by § 15A-1-204.
• 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) / International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — current statewide code per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e)/(f); Pleasant View's codified Title 15.12.010 references the 2000 IMC (stale codification), superseded by § 15A-1-204.
• 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Utah amendments — current statewide code per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h) (a single edition applies statewide, no separate residential/commercial split); Pleasant View's codified Title 15.28.010 references the 2000 IECC (stale codification), superseded by § 15A-1-204.
• 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide code per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) (unchanged by the July 1, 2026 code cycle flip); Pleasant View's codified Title 15.20.010 references the 1999 NEC (stale codification), superseded by § 15A-1-204.

Permit types & fees

• Residential Building Permit

  Required for new single-family and two-family residential construction and any work regulated by the statewide-adopted IRC/IBC. Pleasant View uses its own valuation-based 'Table for Permit Fees' (Consolidated Fee Schedule, as of July 1, 2026) plus a locally published Residential One- and Two-Family Valuation per-square-foot table for computing project valuation.

  →

• Electrical Permit

  Required for electrical work in Pleasant View regulated by the statewide-adopted National Electrical Code. Fee is a flat inspection charge per the Consolidated Fee Schedule. EV charger/EVSE installation is electrical work and falls under this general Electrical Permit; the Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) does not publish a separate EV-specific fee line item. Residential rooftop and ground-mount solar PV installations likewise fall under the general valuation-based Building Permit Fee (Table for Permit Fees, Appendix L) plus this flat $75.00 Electrical Inspection fee for the electrical scope — a full-text review of the Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) found no separate solar-specific permit type or fee line item.

  →

• Plumbing Permit

  Required for plumbing installations and alterations in Pleasant View regulated by the statewide-adopted International Plumbing Code. Fee is a flat inspection charge per the Consolidated Fee Schedule; sewer and water lateral work carries a separate lateral inspection fee.

  →

• Mechanical / HVAC Permit

  Required for HVAC and gas-appliance installations in Pleasant View regulated by the statewide-adopted International Mechanical Code / International Fuel Gas Code. Flat administration fee per the Consolidated Fee Schedule.

  →

• Re-Roof Permit (2nd or 3rd Layer)

  Required for re-roofing work involving a second or third layer, classified by Pleasant View as a 'Misc. permit' with a flat minimum fee under the Consolidated Fee Schedule.

  →

• Commercial Building Permit

  Required for new commercial construction in Pleasant View. The city's Consolidated Fee Schedule computes the Building Fee from the same valuation-based 'Table for Permit Fees' (Appendix L) used for residential construction ('Building Fee ... refer to building permit schedule, attached'), but charges a higher Plan Check Fee percentage for commercial work: 65%, versus 50% for residential.

  →

• Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit

  Required for tenant improvement and interior remodel work in existing commercial buildings in Pleasant View. Uses the same valuation-based Table for Permit Fees (Appendix L) and 65% commercial Plan Check Fee as new commercial construction — tenant improvement is not one of the enumerated categories in the city's flat-fee 'Misc. permits' bucket (which covers only demolition, fence, mechanical-only, plumbing-only, and 2nd/3rd-layer re-roof), so it is billed on the general valuation-based schedule.

  →

• Sign Permit

  Required for placement of all signs in Pleasant View except those specifically exempted, per City Code § 18.29.310 (Chapter 18.29, Sign Regulations). It is unlawful to erect, install, or modify a sign requiring a permit without first obtaining one. Applications are accepted only from licensed general contractors or sign installation contractors (§ 18.29.140).

  →

• Certificate of Occupancy / Change of Use (Business License Route)

  Pleasant View City Code Section 18.60.020(C) makes a Certificate of Occupancy a distinct legal requirement, separate from the construction-permit process: 'No land shall be used or occupied and no building hereafter structurally altered or erected shall be used or changed in use... until a certificate of occupancy shall have been issued.' The Code specifically extends this to nonconforming-use changes: 'A like certificate shall be issued for the purpose of maintaining, renewing, changing or extending a nonconforming use.' Pleasant View does not publish a standalone change-of-use application, however -- in practice, a new occupant or a changed use in an existing commercial building is verified through the City's Business License process, which requires a Fire Department inspection and, for new applicants, a Safety Inspection performed by the City's contracted building inspector (Sunrise Engineering) before the license -- and lawful occupancy -- is granted.

• EV Charger / EVSE Permit

  Pleasant View has no distinct EV charger/EVSE permit type or fee line item — EV charger (EVSE) installation is billed under the city's standard Electrical Permit, using the same flat $75.00 Electrical Inspection fee that applies to any other standalone electrical work. Pleasant View's own Electrical Permit entry explicitly states: 'EV charger (EVSE) installations do not have their own permit type in Pleasant View — apply for this Electrical Permit and pay the flat $75.00 Electrical Inspection fee like any other standalone electrical work.' A direct check of the city's Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) confirms this flat fee and found no separate 'EV' or 'electric vehicle' line item.

  →

• Solar PV / Solar Panel Installation Permit

  Pleasant View has no distinct solar/solar-PV permit type or fee line item — a full-text, page-by-page read of the entire 19-page Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) found no mention of 'solar,' 'photovoltaic,' 'PV,' or 'renewable energy' anywhere in the document, and neither the city's official Permits page nor its Building & Construction Applications page (which lists City Inspect, Business License, Dog License, Subdivisions/Zone Changes, and Utility Services as the enumerated application categories) references a solar-specific application. Residential rooftop or ground-mount solar PV installation is billed as a standard Building Permit for the structural/mounting scope (valuation-based Table for Permit Fees, Appendix L, with project valuation per the city's general 'ICC Building Valuation Data — most recent data available') plus the flat $75.00 Electrical Inspection fee for the electrical interconnection scope. Pleasant View's own Electrical Permit entry in this dataset independently documents the same conclusion: 'Residential rooftop and ground-mount solar PV installations likewise fall under the general valuation-based Building Permit Fee (Table for Permit Fees, Appendix L) plus this flat $75.00 Electrical Inspection fee for the electrical scope — a full-text review of the Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) found no separate solar-specific permit type or fee line item.'

• Fire Sprinkler / Fire Suppression System Permit

  Pleasant View does not publish a distinct fire sprinkler or fire suppression system permit type or fee line item. A full page-by-page re-read of the entire 19-page Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) on 2026-07-22 found no 'fire sprinkler,' 'fire suppression,' or 'sprinkler system' line item anywhere in the document -- the only fire-related charges published are a $10.00 fee to collect the North View Fire Agency Fee and per-unit/per-square-foot North View Fire Agency Impact Fees (development impact fees on new construction, not permit fees), plus an unrelated Fire Hydrant Rentals section (meter deposit/rental for using hydrants as a construction water source). A sprinkler system installed as part of new construction or a tenant improvement is captured within that project's general valuation-based Building Permit Fee (Table for Permit Fees, Appendix L) plus the applicable Plan Check Fee -- Pleasant View does not itemize a separate sprinkler valuation add-on. Standalone fire sprinkler retrofit work, not tied to a larger construction project, is treated here as falling under the city's 'Misc. permits' category, which the fee schedule states carries a flat '$100.00 minimum fee for any building permit' and is illustrated (non-exhaustively, 'i.e.') with examples including 'mechanical only' and 'plumbing only' -- trade-specific scopes analogous to a standalone sprinkler installation, though fire sprinkler work is not itself named in that list. Fire code plan review and inspection of sprinkler systems is the responsibility of North View Fire District (serving North Ogden, Pleasant View, and Harrisville; Fire Marshal, 801-782-8159), but neither the District's official website (northviewfire.gov) nor any located District resolution or fee schedule discloses a separate District-charged sprinkler plan-review or permit fee -- confirmed by direct review of the District's Services and Find It Fast pages (which enumerate only a Burn Permit as a named permit type) and by web search for a District fee resolution, neither of which surfaced one.

• Fire Alarm System Permit

  Pleasant View does not publish a distinct fire alarm system permit type or fee line item. A full page-by-page re-read of the entire 19-page Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) on 2026-07-22 found no 'fire alarm,' 'alarm system,' or 'fire detection' line item anywhere in the document. Fire alarm system wiring and low-voltage circuits fall within the scope of work regulated by the statewide-adopted National Electrical Code, so alarm-system electrical work is billed, like any other standalone electrical work, under the city's existing Electrical Permit and its flat $75.00 Electrical Inspection Fee -- the same general treatment this dataset's Electrical Permit entry already documents for EV chargers and solar PV interconnections. Where alarm work is part of new construction or a tenant improvement, it is additionally captured within that project's general valuation-based Building Permit Fee (Table for Permit Fees, Appendix L). Fire code plan review of the alarm system's design (device placement, notification appliance coverage, monitoring) is the responsibility of North View Fire District (Fire Marshal, 801-782-8159), but neither the District's official website (northviewfire.gov) nor any located District resolution or fee schedule discloses a separate District-charged alarm plan-review or permit fee -- confirmed by direct review of the District's Services and Find It Fast pages (which enumerate only a Burn Permit as a named permit type) and by web search for a District fee resolution, neither of which surfaced one.
