No, a permit is not required; however, we strongly recommend you get a no-cost land use permit before installing your fence.  It will protect you later on if an issue concerning your fence ever arises.

Yes. A permit is required for sheds larger than 200 sq. ft.   Sheds 200 sq. ft. or less do not require a permit, however, the following guidelines must be adhered to.  Any shed found to be in non-compliance may be required to be removed. Also note that any shed built over a utility easement without written permission from the utility companies is also subject to removal.

ACCESSORY BUILDING (SHED) GUIDELINES

• No accessory buildings are allowed in the front yard.
• Accessory buildings located in the rear yard must be located not less than 6' (measured from eave to eave, not wall to wall) from the main building, not less than 1' from the property line (measured from eave) and no less than 10' from any building (eave to eave) located on an adjacent lot.
• In addition, if an accessory building is to be located over utility easements, written permission must be obtained from the utility companies or easement holder to allow such placement. For utility company contact infromation, Click Here
• You can get a copy of your lot with dimensions and easements from Weber County's web site. Go to www.co.weber.ut.us/psearch/ and search by either your last  name or address.
• No accessory building may exceed 19' in height measured from finished floor to midway of roof, and no wall may exceed 10' measured from finished floor.
• Accessory buildings are allowed in the side yard, but must be located at least 6' (eave to eave) from the main building and at least 10' from any buildings on an adjacent lot (eave to eave). In addition, they must also meet side yard setback requirements, which vary from 8'-10' depending on what zone the property is located in. (Please call 622-2709 for zoning information). Note that many side yards are not wide enough to accommodate an accessory building and still meet side yard setback requirements.

Yes, before you demolish a structure you must secure a demolition permit from our office and clearance from the Weber County Health Department. The permit process accomplishes four things:

2. Insures that all utility lines to the building have been terminated at a safe location by the utility companies.
3. Removes the demolished building from the State tax roles.
4. Insure that appliances and electrical devices that might contain hazardous materials have been disposed of properly.

Penalties are:

• The cost of the required building permit will double as a penalty.
• You could incur daily penalties until the structure is brought into compliance.
• You may have to demolish the structure if it is found that the structure is located on your property in violation of existing city ordinances
