Spanish Fork
Spanish Fork Building Division
Inspections are scheduled at least 24 hours ahead. The work must be ready by 8 AM on the scheduled day. Under the division's Building Inspection General Requirements sheet, no inspections are scheduled between noon and 1 PM. The sheet also bars inspection requests by email, though the division can be called or texted when online scheduling is not possible. Spanish Fork requires every contractor and subcontractor working under a building permit to hold a license from the Utah Division of Professional Licensing.

- Portal
- CitizenServe
Spanish Fork's 2024 Basement Finish Submittal Requirements list these items, which every set of basement finish building plans, drawn to scale, must show before staff review.
- Room dimensions, with the locations and sizes of windows and doors
- Each room labeled with its intended purpose, such as bedroom, storage, or theater room
- The height of window sills above the floor
- Electrical subpanels
- Receptacles
- Switches and light fixtures
- The bathroom exhaust fan
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
- Appliances, including water heaters, furnaces, and air conditioning units
- Floor drains
- The insulation R-value
- The depth of each window well
A basement kitchen also takes a Residential Electrical Service Load Calculation Form. Adding a gas appliance takes a diagram of the size and type of piping from the meter to each new and existing gas appliance, with the BTUs of each and its distance from the meter. Adding a gas appliance also takes a pressure test of at least 5 psi held for 15 minutes on a gauge with 1-pound increments at the 4-way inspection. Any item missing from the plans puts the application in Resubmission Required status until it is added.

Spanish Fork Remodeling and Permit Questions
Can I finish my basement as an ADU myself in Spanish Fork?
No. Under the city's Basement Finish Submittal Requirements, an owner-builder may finish the basement only when no part of the home will be used as an ADU. When part of the home will be an ADU, the same requirements, citing Section 15.1.04.090 of the municipal code, state that a licensed general contractor must complete all of the work. That section requires all work performed under Title 15 to be done by a contractor licensed by the State of Utah to perform it. The ADU Registration is filed through CitizenServe before the basement finish's final inspection. Section 15.3.24.090 also requires the owner to live on the property, apart from the suspension the ADU rules above allow.
Does a walkout basement entrance need engineering in Spanish Fork?
Yes. The city's Basement Entrance Plan Requirements call for building plans engineered for the footings, foundation, and stairs. Its window items add engineering for a new hole in the foundation or a widened window. An existing window opening needs none. The stairs are 36 inches wide, with a landing at the top and bottom, 6 feet 8 inches of headroom, and lights at both landings.
Does a Spanish Fork remodel involve the city's electric department?
Yes, for a service upgrade, remodel, overhead service, or other existing installation. Spanish Fork runs its own electric utility, and its Utility Installation Requirements ask that the Electric Department be contacted about meter base placement before any of that work begins. The sheet asks applicants to allow up to 72 hours for the meter to be set after the inspection is approved and notes that the electric and water departments do not work on Fridays.
Does Spanish Fork inspect on Fridays?
Yes, apart from first-time finals and first-time 4-way inspections, which are not offered on Fridays under the Building Inspection General Requirements sheet. Under the same sheet, an inspector may stop an inspection once it reaches 15 correction items. We check the work against the approved plans before each request.
