Application Process
This process applies for all new building projects, including, but not limited to, homes, garages, accessory buildings, sheds, and any new structure.
Home additions that change the footprint of the home also require the full process.
Internal remodeling projects that do not change the exterior footprint of the home do not need the Zoning Clearance review, only the Building Permit Application.
Step 1 – Download the Zoning Clearance and Building Permit Applications
Step 2 – Review the documentation requirements listed on the applications
Note: If you are a builder, submitting an application for an owner, you will need to present a signed agent letter authorizing you to submit the applications on the owner’s behalf.
Note: If you would like to schedule a pre-application consultation, contact the Land Use Authority secretary at landusestaff@mendoncityutah.gov and they will coordinate a meeting.
Step 3 – Submit completed applications and all required and supporting documentation to landusestaff@mendoncityutah.gov .
If the applications and supporting documentation are complete, the package will be forwarded to the Administrative Land Use Authority to begin the review process. You will be notified of the acceptance, at which time you can arrange payment for the Zoning Clearance Review fee with the city office staff (Zoning Clearance cannot be completed without payment).
The review process is comprised of two phases which must be completed in order:
Phase 1 – Zoning Clearance Review where the project, site plan, and infrastructure reviews are completed. When the project passes the Zoning Clearance Review and the fee is paid, the applicant will be notified and the project will move forward to phase 2. Phase 2 does not begin until Phase 1 is complete.
Upon completion of Phase 1, all applications and documentation is forwarded to the Building Authority to begin their review.
Phase 2 – Building Permit Review where the project plans are reviewed for compliance to all building codes and site compliance requirements. Upon completion of the Building Permit Review, the applicant is notified and informed of all building permit and impact fees for payment. The Building Permit is issued, authorizing project work to commence.
