Building Permits
Applications
We are digital! For the best experience and fastest processing time, please submit your plans through our ONLINE BUILDING PERMIT PORTAL You will need to set up an account before you can submit your online application. This platform is used to track plan review and inspections for your project. You can make the required payments through the portal and print off the issued permit.
If you are unsuccessful at setting up up an account through the online building portal, you may obtain a PDF version of the building permit application listed under ’documents’ on the right hand side of this page and email your completed application together with applicable plans and attachment to buildingpermits@kaysville.gov. One set of plans (drawn to scale) - including a site plan are required for residential permits . The application fee will still be required for submittal.
Applications are reviewed in the order they were received. Most permits take approximately two weeks for review. Remaining fees must be paid at the time the building permit is issued.

Attention All Contractors: Credit Card Policy Change for BUILDNG PERMITS
As of August, 2022, all credit card transactions for building permit fees will be assessed a 3% convenience fee. American Express will not be accepted regardless of transaction amount. This policy is the same for payments in person, over the phone or on-line via the City Inspect portal. The convenience transaction fee will not be added for checks or e-checks on the portal. This convenience fee policy change is a result of Kaysville City's on-going credit card agreement.
Fire Sprinkler and Fire Alarms Submittals and Inspections:
When installing new or modifying existing fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems in Kaysville City, it’s the Building Department NOT the Fire Department that handles the submittals and the approvals of plans and inspections.
Please apply for the commercial fire alarm/sprinkler permit and attach plans for review. Kindly reference the business address or building issued permit number. This will reference the plans to the existing building or tenant improvement and link the fire and sprinkler plans for deferred submittal.
