Additions and Remodels

A building permit is required for all residential additions and remodels. Start by reviewing and meeting the requirements of the Residential Plan Review Checklist for Additions, Remodels, Basement Finishes and Accessory Structures. Please keep in mind that your plans should be drawn to professional standards and to scale. If your project is an addition or extensive remodel, engineered plans and Energy Code Analysis will be required. Contact Provo Power at (801) 852-6852 if your plan requires moving the power meter. Submit your plans and other required documentation on the Online Portal. A plan check fee must be paid at the time you apply for your building permit; all other fees are collected when we issue the building permit. After your information is submitted and accepted, your plans will be reviewed by various departments to determine if they meet code requirements. The Zoning Division will review your plans for compliance with setbacks, parking, and lot coverage requirements, as well as changes in occupancy. If you have questions about the zoning requirements, please call (801) 852-6400. When the plans have been approved, we will issue your permit and you can begin construction of your addition or remodel. If you have questions about the building permit process, please call (801) 852-6450.
