EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Riverdale, Utah
Riverdale City's Building and Sign Permit Fee Schedule prices every building/electrical permit purely by construction valuation (a single lookup table from $1 up, plus $6.75/$5.70/$4.40 per additional $1,000 at higher tiers, plus a 65% Plan Check Fee and a 1% State of Utah Fee). There is no distinct "EV Charger," "EVSE," or even a separate general "Electrical Permit" line item anywhere in the schedule — all trade work, including EV charger/EVSE installation, is billed through this single valuation-based table.

Tips

Riverdale, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a). Consistent with Riverdale City's official Building Inspections page, which states: '2024 International Building Code (IBC) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required).'; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — CORRECTED. Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did NOT change the IRC edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide amendment; the IRC REMAINS the 2021 edition. Riverdale City's own official Building Inspections page (live-checked 2026-07-16, HTTP 200, 51531 bytes) states verbatim: '2024 International Residential Code (IRC)' — this is factually WRONG; no provision of § 15A-2-103 adopts a 2024 IRC. This entry previously repeated the City's incorrect 2024 figure; the statute controls and the correct current edition is 2021. The City's incorrect claim is preserved here as a recorded conflict, not deleted — see the dated note below and the matching sibling defect on syracuse-ut's page, which similarly asserts an incorrect 2024/unchanged-2024 IRC.; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not itemized on Riverdale's own Building Inspections page, added here per statute.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e). Consistent with Riverdale's official Building Inspections page: '2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required).'; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d). Consistent with Riverdale's official Building Inspections page: '2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required).'; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f). Consistent with Riverdale's official Building Inspections page, which lists it (with an apparent typo, 'IG' rather than 'IFGC') as: '2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IG) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required).'; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h). Consistent with Riverdale's official Building Inspections page: '2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required).'; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — CORRECTED. Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did NOT change the NEC edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide amendment; the NEC REMAINS the 2023 edition (unchanged since before this cycle). Riverdale City's own official Building Inspections page (live-checked 2026-07-16, HTTP 200, 51531 bytes) states verbatim: '2024 National Electrical Code (NEC) remains in effect' — this is factually WRONG on two counts: no provision of § 15A-2-103 adopts a 2024 NEC, and the word 'remains' is itself incorrect since the statewide NEC has never been the 2024 edition. This entry previously repeated the City's incorrect 2024 figure; the statute controls and the correct current edition is 2023. The City's incorrect claim is preserved here as a recorded conflict, not deleted — see the dated note below and the matching sibling defect on syracuse-ut's page.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized on Riverdale's own Building Inspections page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized on Riverdale's own Building Inspections page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; MBI 1200 and MBI 1205 (manufactured/modular construction standards) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not itemized on Riverdale's own Building Inspections page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification — City page vs. statute conflict): Riverdale City's official Building Inspections page (riverdaleutah.gov/business/building_inspections/index.php, live-checked 2026-07-16, HTTP 200, 51531 bytes) is headed 'Building Code Changes - Effective July 1, 2026' and states verbatim: 'Effective July 1, 2026, the State of Utah adopted the following statewide codes: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required) / 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) / 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required) / 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required) / 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IG) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required) / 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) (Effective July 1, 2026, the 2024 codes will be required) / 2024 National Electrical Code (NEC) remains in effect.' Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027, read live 2026-07-16) does NOT adopt a 2024 IRC or a 2024 NEC — the statute keeps the IRC at 2021 (§(1)(b), unchanged) and the NEC at 2023 (§(1)(g), unchanged). Riverdale's own page is simply incorrect on these two codes (the IBC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/IECC entries at 2024 are all correct and consistent with the statute). This mirrors a documented pattern on sibling jurisdiction syracuse-ut, whose own page similarly misstates the IRC. The statute governs; the City's page text is quoted above and preserved as the recorded conflict, not deleted or silently corrected without explanation.. Local amendments apply — see the Riverdale overview page for the full list.
