Requirements for submitting a permit application for a multi-family dwelling

Fill out the online Permit Application Form and attach all of the following items.
Architectural Review Committee approval (if required by subdivision) – plan review cannot begin unless this information is included with the submittal.

Other applicable information:

Permit fees are based on use of area and square footage (see Fee Calculation Form, if you are building a condo or apartment, please call the Building Department for fees). Permit fees pay for reviews in the office as well as inspections which will need to be done at the property. We will email invoices when fees are due. Permit fees do not include sewer fees – contact Jordan Basin Improvement District at 801-571-1166. Another cost you will incur will be for a soils report which must be provided to the inspector at the footing inspection – see Geotechnical (Soils) Report.

Plan review will take approximately 10-15 working days, after which we may require corrections that will need to be made to your plans. The permit will be issued after plans are approved and all fees are paid.

Call the Building Department at 801-446-5327 at least one business day before you wish to schedule inspections (see Required Inspections).

Landscaping is required to be installed per Planning Commission approval and is monitored by the Planning/Zoning Department. Both Planning/Zoning Department and Unified Fire Authority approvals are required before the certificate of occupancy can be issued.

When an individual unit is approved for final before the rest of the building, Herriman City may (upon request) issue a temporary certificate of occupancy for just that unit which is good until the final certificate of occupancy is issued for the entire building. When a temporary or a final certificate of occupancy is issued, the Water Department is notified and the water jumper(s) will be removed and the permanent water meter(s) will be set within 2-3 working days if a water application has been submitted to the Water Department. If no application has been made, the Water Department will remove the jumper and shut off the water.
