Tips
- Weber County charges a Commercial Plan Review fee of 65% of the building permit fee (§ 12-3-8(2)(b)), nearly double the 35% Single-Family Dwelling plan review rate (§ 12-3-8(2)(a)).
- The county's own inspection page does not publish a distinct commercial review timeline — the general 14-working-day figure applies to all permit types per the page's own text.
- A 1% state surcharge applies to the building permit fee (excluding plan review fees) per Weber County Code § 12-3-8(1).
- Signs are NOT covered by a distinct fee line item: Weber County's Planning Division Land Use Code Application Fees (Sec 16-2-5, webercountyutah.gov/planning/documents/Fee_Chart.pdf) contain only one sign-adjacent line, a $15.00 'Public Notice Sign' fee under General Administration Fees — that is the fee the county charges to POST a public-hearing notice sign for a land-use application, not a fee for a business/commercial sign permit. Weber County Code does maintain a distinct Signage section (Sec 104-22-10, part of the county's Land Use Code, hosted at weber.municipalcodeonline.com) per public secondary references. No distinct sign-permit dollar fee is published; the general valuation-based building-permit fee mechanism used for the Residential and Commercial Building Permits (Weber County Code § 12-3-6) likely applies to any sign requiring a building permit — confirm with the Building Inspection Division, (801) 399-8371.
