Land Use Permit (Zoning / Change-of-Use Verification)
VerifiedWeber County's Planning Division requires a Land Use Permit as a zoning-compliance verification step whenever a new business license is issued in unincorporated Weber County or Ogden Valley City — including when an existing building or tenant space is put to a new business use without any new construction. Per the Planning Division's own FAQ page: 'A Land Use Permit is a verification of zoning standards for building permit, business licenses etc. The Land Use Permit indicates zoning setback requirements and conditions that may be associated with the use.' It is distinct from, and required in addition to, any building permit or the business license fee itself.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Applies automatically to every new business license application (any Business, Home Occupation, or Short Term Rental license) in unincorporated Weber County or Ogden Valley City, per the County's Business License Portal
- Verification that the proposed use meets zoning standards, setback requirements, and any conditions associated with that use for the parcel, per the Planning Division FAQ
- Required prior to issuance of the business license and prior to issuance of any building permit, per the Planning Division FAQ ('A Land Use Permit is required prior to a Building Permit being issued')
- Submitted through the Business License Portal (for business-use verification) or the Frontier development-project portal (frontier.co.weber.ut.us) for other Land Use Permit applications
Required documents
- RequiredNew Business License ApplicationSubmitted online at the Weber County Business License Portal; the Land Use Permit fee is billed alongside the business license fee as part of this application.

Sign Permit (Land Use Permit)
VerifiedRequired to erect, alter, or relocate any sign in Unincorporated Weber County. Weber County Land Use Code § 110-2-2 states: 'No person shall erect, alter or relocate any sign without first obtaining a land use permit.' Signage is governed by Land Use Code Title 110, Chapter 110-2 (Signs), which sets zone-specific standards, prohibits certain sign types, and requires sign structures to meet wind/seismic standards under the adopted Building Code. This is the same 'Land Use Permit' process documented for change-of-use verification elsewhere in this file — signs are one of the structure types (along with sheds, decks, and sports courts) that require it before a building permit is issued.

Requirements
- Erecting, altering, or relocating any sign not specifically exempted under Land Use Code § 110-2 (sign maintenance/repainting, qualifying flags, qualifying window signs, and certain government signs are exempt)
- Compliance with the zone-specific sign standards in § 110-2 (Commercial & Manufacturing, Residential/Agricultural/Forest, or Recreation Resort zone standards)
- A Master Signage Plan, reviewed through the Title 108 design-review process, where a site or building has multiple tenants or multiple signs allowed
- A separate building permit for the sign structure itself where structural sufficiency (wind/seismic load) is at issue, per § 110-2's construction and safety standards
Required documents
- RequiredLand Use Permit ApplicationSubmitted through the Planning Division's development project portal at frontier.co.weber.ut.us.
- RequiredSign Plans / SpecificationsPlans, designs, specifications, dimensions, lighting details, colors, and installation information for the proposed sign, per § 110-2-2's application requirements.

| Land Use Permit for Building Permit Fee | $60.00 (Planning Division) + $40.00 (Engineering Division) = $100.00 total | Weber County Planning Division Fee Chart (PDF), General Permitting Fees section, read directly from the source PDF 2026-07-22. This is the same fee line this file's change-of-use-permit entry cites for signs: 'A Land Use Permit is also required before any building permit is issued for structures (sheds, decks, sports courts, signs, etc.)' Note: a separately-fetched rendering of the codified ordinance (weber.municipalcodeonline.com) suggested a different figure for a generic 'Land Use Permit' line ($150+$100=$250); that figure could not be independently confirmed against a primary document (unlike this PDF, which was read directly) and is NOT used here to avoid citing an unverified number. |
| Land Use Permit Re-review Fee | $30.00 | Weber County Planning Division Fee Chart (PDF), General Permitting Fees section — charged if the initial Land Use Permit submittal requires re-review. |
| Building Permit for Sign Structure (where structural review applies) | Valuation-based per Weber County Code § 12-3-6 — same tier table as this file's Residential Building Permit entry | Land Use Code § 110-2 requires signs to meet wind/seismic load standards under the adopted Building Code and states a building permit is required for sign structures; Title 110 does not set a separate structural-permit fee, so the county's standard valuation-based Building Permit schedule (§ 12-3-6) is the applicable published mechanism. |
