West Jordan Building Department | Permits, Inspections & Contact

West Jordan Building & Safety is the local building department for construction within West Jordan City. Other Salt Lake County municipalities and unincorporated county areas use their own local regulator, even when the project is marketed with a West Jordan or Salt Lake County address.

Applying for a West Jordan building permit

The city provides plan checking, permitting, and inspection services for new construction, additions, remodels, alterations, and demolitions. Submit building permit applications through the West Jordan Public Portal. The city’s permit materials identify site plans, construction documents, owner-builder certifications, residential construction notes, and special-inspection materials that may be required based on the project.

Before submitting, confirm the parcel’s zoning, setbacks, site access, utilities, and any land-disturbance or engineering requirements. Projects that involve grading, subdivision, commercial development, or a change of use may need planning and development approvals in addition to the building permit.

Inspections, code compliance, and occupancy

Use the Public Portal for permit status and inspection-related requests, or call the Building & Safety Division at (801) 569-5050 for inspection requirements and status questions. The city expects required inspections and approved construction documents to be available at the site. Final building, fire, utility, and other conditions must be cleared before the permit is closed and occupancy is authorized.

Zoning and plan review

West Jordan Planning & Zoning administers land-use rules, development applications, and the city zoning code. The city’s planning page directs applicants to the municipal code and planning staff for questions about multifamily development, site plans, setbacks, and other zoning requirements. A project should be checked for zoning compliance before building plans are finalized.
