Provo Utah Residential Building Permit Guide

Provo residential projects start with the building permit process, document submittals, site plan information, structural plans when required, stormwater documentation, and coordination with Building, Planning, Power, and Code Enforcement.

Permit takeaway

Provo's residential additions and remodels process directs applicants to apply for a building permit, submit documents, and pay the plan check fee.

Zoning and placement

Provo directs homeowners to contact Zoning for accessory dwelling unit questions and Planning for project types that need planning approval before building review.

Building and trade review

Common residential submittals include a residential remodel checklist, residential site plan information, structural stamped plans when required, and stormwater documentation.
