The Building Department is receiving many building permit applications that do not meet the regulations provided by Utah Code 17-36-55 and are considered to be incomplete. We would like to encourage contractors and owner/builders alike to become familiar with these Utah Codes before submitting an application. If your application does not meet the requirements set forth in Utah Code Section 17-36-55 (8) (a) through (g) it will be rejected until it meets these requirements. This does not regulate who the designer of the structure can be; rather it allows our department to conduct a thorough plan review of all required documentation to ensure that the application meets all County and State Codes and Regulations. If you have and questions, comments, or would like more information please get in touch with our department and we can discuss this further.
