Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
N/A. The county code requires the Building Inspector to examine applications within a reasonable time and issue a compliant permit as soon as practicable but publishes no average number of review days. Work must start within 180 days, an approved inspection is required every 180 days, and projects not completed within two years must request a six-month extension.
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.

N/A. The county code requires the Building Inspector to examine applications within a reasonable time and issue a compliant permit as soon as practicable but publishes no average number of review days. Work must start within 180 days, an approved inspection is required every 180 days, and projects not completed within two years must request a six-month extension.
Contact Building Inspector Matt Tate at 435-219-7545 or 435-247-2799 and allow at least 24 hours' notice; the permit holder is responsible for scheduling. Required stages include foundation before concrete; plumbing, mechanical, gas, and electrical systems before covering; floodplain elevation documentation when applicable; framing and masonry after rough-trade approvals; fire-resistance-rated construction before joints and fasteners are concealed; any special inspections required for rated assemblies, masonry, insulation, or concrete; and final before occupancy. An approved inspection is required at least every 180 days to keep the permit valid.
Daggett County Code adopts the latest International Building Code, International Plumbing Code, National Electrical Code, model energy code, accessibility rules, and the current Utah-adopted building code as those editions are updated. Accordingly, the current statewide 2026 set includes the 2024 IBC, 2021 IRC, 2024 IPC, 2024 IMC, 2024 IFGC, 2024 IECC, 2023 NEC, and Utah amendments; manufactured housing must also meet applicable HUD requirements. The residential packet publishes site criteria of 30 psf snow load in Manila and Browns Park, 40 psf in Dutch John and Clay Basin, 80 psf in Pines, 90 mph wind, and seismic category C. County permits apply in unincorporated Daggett County; applicants inside Manila must contact the town. Agricultural buildings that qualify under the county and state agricultural provisions and detached accessory buildings smaller than 200 square feet are exempt from the structural building-permit requirement. Exempt construction still may require a site plan or zoning review, and plumbing, electrical, or mechanical permits can still be required. All residential structures and additions and all accessory structures over 200 square feet require permits; storage containers require a county permit before placement.
What makes an application complete
Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.
Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.
Submission quality check
Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.
Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
