Project questions
Frequently asked questions for Summit County
Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?
Summit County Building Department is the identified county-level authority for this profile. Confirm that the property is in its service area before filing.
How should I begin an application?
Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact 435-336-3124.
How long might review take?
Up to 14 business days for a new single-family dwelling review and up to 21 business days for a new commercial project. Incomplete applications are rejected for resubmission; applications received after 5:00 p.m. count as submitted the next business day.
How are inspections scheduled?
Log in to EPROCESS 360, open the permit's Inspection tab, add the required inspection type(s), choose an available date, provide onsite-contact details and notes, and submit. Next-day inspections may be requested until 3:30 p.m. or until the day fills. Footing/foundation inspections cannot share a request with other inspection types, and Engineering and Building inspections require separate requests. Inspectors are assigned after 4:30 p.m. the prior day; the portal then emails the inspector name and phone. Call 435-336-3124 to cancel or reschedule.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Summit County enforces Utah's adopted construction and fire codes together with Titles 9, 10, and 11 of the County Code and applicable local amendments. Effective July 1, 2026, the statewide cycle includes the 2024 International Building Code, 2021 International Residential Code and Appendix AQ, 2024 International Plumbing Code, 2024 International Mechanical Code, 2024 International Fuel Gas Code, 2023 National Electrical Code, 2024 International Energy Conservation Code, 2024 International Existing Building Code, residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, applicable Utah amendments, and the 2024 International Fire Code as the State Fire Code. The county's current building page lists exceptions for commercial accessory buildings under 120 square feet, residential accessory buildings under 200 square feet, fences under 7 feet high, and certain agricultural buildings. A qualifying agricultural structure requires the county agricultural-exemption process and remains subject to zoning setbacks, height rules, and other state and county laws. Confirm electrical, plumbing, mechanical, grading, fire, septic, and planning requirements separately before work.
