Town of Charleston

Charleston ordinance section 02.1101 states no person shall commence to construct, alter, or move a building or structure, or change the use of land within the town without first submitting an application and obtaining a permit from the Zoning Administrator or other authorized officer.

Note: Charleston's reviewed public sources did not publish a town-specific exemption list. Because Charleston requires compliance with applicable codes and ordinances, Utah State Construction Code exemption categories should be confirmed with Charleston before assuming an exemption applies.

Building code

Charleston ordinance requires compliance with applicable codes and ordinances, but the current public sources reviewed did not clearly identify a separate Charleston building-code adoption ordinance by edition. Utah State Construction Code baseline should be assumed unless Charleston confirms local amendments.

Permit validity

Not clearly identified in the reviewed public Charleston sources.

Contractor requirements

Utah DOPL licensing applies to contractors and licensed trades. Charleston's public materials reviewed did not restate a separate local contractor-license rule for general building permits.

1. 01

3. 03

4. 04
   The Zoning Administrator reviews compliance with zoning and applicable codes and authorizes issuance when requirements are satisfied.
5. 05
