When is a Residential Building Permit required?
A common misconception of permits is that a permit is not required for work that is not structural in nature; this is untrue. Generally, a building permit is required for any work on any structure. A good rule of thumb is to get a permit except for new paint and new floor covering. A more specific list is detailed in our handout.
Additionally, any residential property that is not owner-occupied requires a State Licensed contractor to do the work. For more information on this, call our office at (435) 716-9030.
When is a Commercial Building Permit required?

How do I schedule an inspection?
It is the responsibility of the person doing the work for which a permit is issued to schedule the required inspections. A minimum of 24 hour notice is required for requesting inspections. Our inspection schedules go daily from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Most inspections are scheduled in 30 minute intervals, with exceptions of 4 way, final inspections, and others as needed. Because things may change unexpectedly while in the field, please plan on inspectors arriving ½ hour early or late.
There are two ways you can schedule an inspection, by phone or by email.
Telephone the Building Department at 435-716-9030 or email donette.sorenson@loganutah.org with the following information:
City Permit number
Address of job site
