Welcome to Building Services & Zoning Enforcement

Our mission is to promote and enforce minimum requirements to safequard the public health safety and public welfare of the built environment in Salt Lake City. Our division is made up of three sections; Building Code Review, Zoning Review and Inspections. The Building Code Review and Zoning Review sections review plans to conform to the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance and the International Code Council, with state amendments. The Inspections section oversees all on-going projects in the city, inspects business license applications and makes fire and life-safety inspections on buildings that have been damaged by fire or accidents.
