Logan, UT Building Safety: Plumbing Permits (2026)

Chapter 15.16 has three sections. Section 15.16.010 states its purpose as providing minimum requirements and standards for the protection of the public health, sanitation, safety and welfare by regulating the erection, installation, alteration, addition, repair, relocation, replacement, and maintenance or use of any plumbing system. It rests on chapter 56, title 58 of the Utah Code Annotated and the statewide uniform technical construction codes adopted by the Utah uniform building codes commission, and it fully incorporates the plumbing code as if set out at length in the Logan Municipal Code. Subsection B, citing section 10-3-711 of the Utah Code Annotated, makes the international plumbing code available for use and examination by the public in the city recorder's office.

Section 15.16.020 defines the enforcer: whenever the words administrative authority appear in the plumbing code, they mean the building safety division of the department of community development. Section 15.16.030 sets the fee rule: plumbing 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 15.16.030 beside the building, electrical and mechanical fee sections when they base permit fees on the valuation of the proposed project.

Other Logan rules touch plumbing directly. In a special flood hazard area, section 15.27.160 requires new and replacement water supply systems to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters, requires sanitary sewage systems to limit infiltration and discharge into floodwaters, and sets plumbing equipment two feet (2') above the base flood elevation. Landlords must provide operable sinks, toilets, tubs and showers and running water under section 15.25.050. Under section 15.25.110 an inoperable toilet must be repaired within twenty four (24) hours of written notice, a drain failure or loss of hot or cold water within forty eight (48) hours, and a leaking pipe posing an imminent threat within twenty four (24) hours.
