Summary

South Jordan adopts the state-adopted plumbing code as part of its construction codes and requires a permit for covered plumbing work.

The most recent version adopted by the state (building, residential, plumbing, mechanical, administrative, energy conservation, fuel gas and existing building code), and the following appendices: chapter 3 division II and IV, chapter 18, chapter 19, chapter 29, chapter 31 division I and III, and all appendices of the residential code, are adopted as the building code of the city.

Full Breakdown

South Jordan City Code § 15.08.020 adopts the most recent version of the building, residential, plumbing, mechanical, administrative, energy conservation, fuel gas and existing building codes, as adopted by the State of Utah, together with listed appendices, as the city's building code. Because the plumbing code is folded into this same state-adopted package rather than issued as a stand-alone city code, plumbing work requiring a permit is covered by the general permit rule at § 15.04.090, which makes unpermitted work a class B misdemeanor, and by the inspection authority in § 15.04.150.

Violations & Fines

Performing plumbing work requiring a permit without one is a class B misdemeanor under § 15.04.090; the building official can order corrections or stop work under §§ 15.04.130 and 15.04.200.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does South Jordan have its own plumbing code?
No. Under § 15.08.020 the city adopts the state's plumbing code as part of its building code package rather than writing its own.
Is a permit required for plumbing work in South Jordan?
Yes, whenever the adopted codes require one; skipping the permit is a class B misdemeanor under § 15.04.090.
