Electrical work in South Jordan requires a permit from the city Building Division, and most work must be performed by a Utah-licensed electrician, per state law.
South Jordan requires an electrical permit for virtually any wiring work beyond simple fixture replacement — including new circuits, service upgrades, subpanels, EV chargers, solar PV interconnections, hot tub circuits, and additions. Permits are obtained through the South Jordan Building Division, which applies the National Electrical Code as adopted by Utah (Utah Code Title 58 Chapter 55, Construction Trades Licensing Act). Under state law, electrical work must be performed by a Utah-licensed electrician, except that a homeowner may personally wire their own single-family residence if they occupy it and do the work without hired help. Inspections are required at rough-in and final stages. Unpermitted work discovered at resale can require exposure of wiring for inspection and retroactive permit fees. Solar, EV charger, and battery storage installations have additional interconnection requirements through Rocky Mountain Power.
