Building

The Garfield County Building Department issues building permits for residential and commercial construction. The office is responsible for reviewing and approving plans for the construction, expansion, repair, modification, removal or demolition of any building or structure.

The office also performs inspections and code enforcement for structures, plumbing, electrical systems and mechanical systems.

For all commercial projects, the property owner or contractor is responsible to complete and provide the original letter of a plan review with the building permit application. The plan review must be completed by a Utah State licensed plan reviewer.

All buildings are required to have a REScheck.

Permit Refund Policy

  1. No building permit fees will be refunded in any case after 180 days.
  2. If no mandatory inspections have been completed on a building project within 1 year, the permit holder will have to renew the permit according to the fee schedule.

Building Permit Application

The Garfield County Building Department is now using City Inspect for building permit applications. To fill out a building permit application, please click the link below. New users will have to create an account. Returning users will be able to login with the account credentials previously created.

State of Utah Building Codes

See Utah Code Title 15A State Construction and Fire Codes Act (see links below). For specific editions of the adopted codes (which must be listed on design documents), see:

If these links are broken, use Utah Code link below.

Other Utah Code sections may also apply, including:

Building Code Review & Adoption Amendments, signed into law by Governor Spencer Cox; will go into effect July 1, 2025. Construction projects would follow the building and fire codes in effect on the date the plan submission is accepted for building permit review. Plans not previously accepted and fees paid for plan review to Salt Lake City Building Services, will be required to be designed & reviewed under the new codes. For example, if a plan submission is accepted for review on June 15th, and the permit is issued on July 15th, the project would follow the codes in effect on June 15th. This assumes the permit application does not exceed the time limitation on application per IBC/IRC Section 105.3.2.
