Sandy Building Department | Permits, Inspections & Contact

Sandy City Community Development provides planning, zoning, building permits, code enforcement, and related development services for properties inside Sandy’s municipal boundary. Nearby Salt Lake County communities and unincorporated areas have different permitting authorities, so confirm the jurisdiction before relying on a Sandy permit page.

Applying for a Sandy building permit

Use Sandy’s official Building Permits page and Community Development resources to determine the correct application path for new construction, additions, remodels, tenant improvements, accessory structures, demolition, and other work. The city’s official navigation separates Building Permits, Building Inspections, Permit Requirements, Planning & Zoning Applications, Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permits, and zoning administration.

Prepare a complete scope of work, site plan, construction drawings, valuation, contractor information, and any planning, engineering, fire, utility, or grading materials requested by the city. Building permit approval does not automatically approve a zoning change, subdivision, site plan, or conditional use.

Inspections, code compliance, and occupancy

Use Sandy’s Building Inspections page for the current inspection-request process and instructions. Inspections should be requested at the required construction stages and before work is concealed. Final building and related agency approvals are needed before a permit can be closed and a certificate of occupancy or other authorization to use the space is issued when required.

Code Enforcement handles non-compliance and property-maintenance matters, while Building Inspections handles construction-code inspections. Contact the city when a project involves a change of use, unresolved violations, or a suspected unpermitted improvement.

Zoning and plan review

Sandy’s official development menu provides access to the zoning ordinance, zoning administration, planning and zoning applications, site-plan review, subdivisions, conditional-use permits, and design standards. Check zoning and development requirements before submitting a building permit, especially for multifamily, commercial, hillside, historic, or mixed-use work.
