Siding Permit Requirements in New Harmony, UT
The Town of New Harmony handles zoning/land use but does not run its own building-permit program. After Town Clerk approval (permission letter) and New Harmony Valley Fire District sign-off, the building permit is issued by Washington County Community Development. A building permit is required for buildings of 400 sq ft or more that have electrical and plumbing. Utah enforces the statewide 2021 IRC (Title 15A), effective July 1, 2023.
