Logan, UT Building Safety: Electrical Permits (2026)

Chapter 15.08 has two sections. Section 15.08.010 states the purpose as providing minimum standards for safeguarding persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. It rests the program on chapter 56, title 58 of the Utah Code Annotated and on the statewide uniform technical construction codes adopted by the Utah uniform building codes commission, then fully incorporates the national electrical code as if set out at length in the Logan Municipal Code. From the effective date of the chapter its provisions are controlling within the corporate limits of the city. Subsection B, citing section 10-3-711 of the Utah Code Annotated, makes the national electrical code available for use and examination by the public in the city recorder's office.

Section 15.08.020 handles the money: electrical permit fees are set forth in and adopted by resolution, so the chapter prints no dollar amounts. Sections 15.06.030 and 15.18.030 list section 15.08.020 beside the building, mechanical and plumbing fee sections when they tie permit fees to the valuation of the proposed project.

Other chapters add electrical rules that apply inside Logan. In a special flood hazard area, section 15.27.160(D) requires electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities to sit two feet (2') above the base flood elevation. Landlords must keep electrical facilities they supply in good and safe working order under section 15.25.050(O). Under section 15.25.110, after written notice the owner must begin repairing a nonfunctioning electrical system within twenty four (24) hours, an inoperable electric fixture within seventy two (72) hours, and an electrical disconnection caused by the owner within twenty four (24) hours.

Decisions of the building official on the technical codes go to the appeals board under chapter 15.22, and the building safety division carries the enforcement duty for all of Title 15.
