Weber County, UT Building Safety: Plumbing Permits (2026)

Weber County Code § 36-1-2 places permitting authority for sewer-connected plumbing with the county plumbing inspector: no permit will issue unless the plumbing and the building being served comply with county and state plumbing code requirements, specifically referencing the International Plumbing Code, 2009 Edition, and unless the applicant has also met the sewer district's requirements and paid its connection fees. This sits inside Title 36's broader sewer-connection scheme: § 36-1-1 requires any building within 300 feet of an available public or district sewer line to connect within 30 days of the line becoming available, at the owner's expense, unless the Weber-Morgan Health Department has granted a variance.

More broadly, Weber County's adopted building code at § 12-3-1, last amended by Ord. No. 2020-25 on December 22, 2020, adopts by reference the specific code editions the State of Utah has designated under Utah Code Title 15A, Chapter 2, §§ 103-104, covering permit issuance and fee collection for construction, alteration, and equipment work countywide, and the county building official enforces those technical codes under § 12-1-1. Applicants working outside a direct sewer connection still fall under this general building-permit umbrella administered by the county building official.
