Building Permits in Provo

Provo's Building Inspection function administers building-code compliance and building permits through Development Services.

Current adopted codes

Provo states that Utah adopted its updated building code effective July 1, 2026. The statewide package includes the 2024 IBC, IPC, IMC, IEBC and IECC, the 2023 NEC, and retains the 2021 IRC, all subject to Utah amendments.

Permits and review

Applicants should use Provo Development Services for the permit type and submittal requirements applicable to their project. Review duration depends on project scope and completeness; no unsupported citywide estimate is stated here.

Inspections

Building Inspection verifies permitted construction against the codes and standards adopted by Utah. Required inspection stages depend on the permit and work performed.

Fees and professional requirements

Fees and Utah licensing/design-professional requirements vary by project. Confirm the current fee schedule and whether sealed documents are required for the specific scope rather than assuming a universal rule.
