About each permit

Zoning / Land Use Administration Fees

Utah County zones unincorporated territory under the Utah County Land Use Ordinance, enabled by the County Land Use, Development, and Management Act, recodified as Utah Code Title 17, Chapter 79. The compiled ordinance's cover page reflects amendments through Ordinance Nos. 2020-375, 2020-376, 2020-379 and 2020-394 (June 10, 2020); the ordinance itself has since been recodified onto the county's current code platform, organized into zone chapters (for example Neighborhood Commercial, Highway Service, Industrial and Residential-Agricultural zones) and standalone standards chapters. Which specific zone treats a given industry as a permitted use versus a conditional use is set chapter by chapter and is not stated here; a business should confirm its own parcel's zone and permitted-use table with Planning & Zoning before applying. The dollar figures above are published in the Utah County Government Fee Schedule adopted October 6, 2021: a Board of Adjustment application or extension is $400, a time extension to a variance or conditional use permit is $200, a general plan or zone map amendment is $400, a combined general plan and zone map change is $600, a county road dedication or vacation is $400, a land use ordinance text amendment is $300, an applicant-requested site visit is $300, a temporary use permit is $150 (or $50 for seasonal sales, a mobile vendor, or filming with no structures), a temporary use vendor permit is $5, and a record of survey, subdivision waiver or agricultural restrictive covenant is $300. As with the county's other Community Development fees, the county's current pages now point to a fee schedule hosted on the recodified platform, which returns an Unauthorized Access response to direct requests, so the amounts above remain those published in the 2021 schedule.

Business License Zone Clearance / Zone Compliance Permit

Every applicant for the general Utah County business license must first obtain a Business License Zone Clearance from Planning & Zoning, confirming the proposed use is allowed on the parcel before the license application is filed. The standard Zone Compliance Permit is $150, but that fee is waived when the same applicant is also paying for a business license or a temporary use permit, so the two fees are not stacked. A minor-structure Zone Compliance Permit — for a fence under 8 feet, a sign under 32 square feet or a similar small improvement — is $50, a Preliminary Zone Clearance Request is $30, and renewing an existing Zone Clearance is $15. These figures are published in the Utah County Government Fee Schedule adopted October 6, 2021. As with the general business license, Utah County's current Community Development pages now point to a fee schedule hosted on the recodified code platform, which returns an Unauthorized Access response to direct requests for its content, so the amounts above remain those published in the 2021 schedule, the most recent publicly posted version of this fee.
