General building work permit checklist — Eagle Mountain, Utah
Assembled from Eagle Mountain’s own published permit rules. Every line below is quoted from a city document and linked to it. Nothing here is generated, estimated, or inferred from another jurisdiction.
Do you need a permit?
Eagle Mountain requires a permit for general building work.
The city's handout "What Requires a Building Permit & Why" (https://eaglemountain.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/building-what-requires-permit-and-why.pdf) lists the work that requires a permit rather than publishing an exemption list. Work it names as requiring a permit includes changing load-bearing wall configurations, converting storage space to living space, finishing a basement, finishing a bonus room area, retaining walls over 4 feet in height, sheds with electric or plumbing (any size), sheds over 200 square feet, carports, garages, decks attached to a home, any structure attached to a home, and solar panels.
