Permit takeaway

West Jordan's Building and Safety Division provides plan checking, permitting, and inspection services for new construction, additions, remodels, alterations, and demolitions.

Zoning and placement

Residential projects may be reviewed by both Building and Planning, so homeowners should prepare for zoning or planning review when site placement or land use is involved.

Building and trade review

The permit portal process includes account setup, selecting a new building permit application, choosing the correct Building and Safety category, attaching plans, and submitting for review.
