How long might review take?

N/A. Millard County publishes no standard plan-review or permit-issuance duration. The permit becomes void if work does not commence within 180 days after issuance or is suspended or abandoned for 180 days after commencement.

How are inspections scheduled?

The permit holder or contractor must call the Millard County Building Department at 435-864-1400 for every required inspection. Published stages are footing reinforcement before concrete; foundation reinforcement before concrete; underground electrical and plumbing; framing; rough plumbing, electrical, and mechanical; weather-resistive barrier and flashing; drywall/firewall; exterior siding, brick, or stucco lath; gas piping; electrical service panel; and final, with additional inspections possible by scope. A certificate of occupancy is withheld until all required inspections are approved, and criminal charges may be filed for prohibited occupancy.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?

The county page still displays the prior 2021 IRC, IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, and IECC, 2020 NEC, Utah amendments, and Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code. For applications accepted on or after July 1, 2026, Utah's controlling State Construction Code uses the 2024 IBC, 2021 IRC and Appendix AQ, 2024 IPC, 2024 IMC, 2024 IFGC, 2023 NEC, 2024 IECC, 2024 IEBC, residential provisions of the 2024 ISPSC, 2024 IFC, and statewide amendments; earlier accepted projects may remain under the prior cycle. Published typical design criteria are 20-psf roof live and snow load, 30-psf ground snow, 40-psf floor and deck live load, 115-mph ultimate wind, exposure C, seismic C, and 30-inch frost depth, subject to site-specific engineering. County land-use regulation applies to unincorporated areas, while the Building Inspection Department describes its building services as countywide; municipal applicants should obtain any required city approval. Millard County publishes an application for the Utah agricultural-building exemption. A qualifying structure must be used solely for agricultural purposes and not for human occupancy, comply with the applicable state acreage/subdivision conditions, and still obtain county land-use clearance and any required regulated-trade permits. The current Building Inspection page does not publish a complete list of accessory-structure, cosmetic, or minor-repair exemptions, so those items are N/A and should be confirmed with the Building Official before work begins.

Before contacting the permit counter

Have the project facts ready.

A productive call starts with a clear description of the property and proposed work. Keep the site address, parcel or assessor number, project valuation, existing occupancy, approximate square footage, structural scope, contractor information, and desired start date in front of you. Those facts help the Authority Having Jurisdiction route the question to building, planning, fire, environmental health, or another reviewing discipline.
