Specific questions about any building project, including code provisions, permitting requirements, and the City's review process can be directed to our Community Planner via rcosta@cityofyutan.com or by phone at (402) 625-2112 x5.

The weblinks below will take you to the various permits required by the City of Yutan. Once the application form and all necessary information (site plan, elevation drawings, floor plans, etc.) is completed, that information can be submitted via e-mail to rcosta@cityofyutan.com or dropped off in-person at the City Offices. Once the information has been received and is being processed, the City's Community Planner will confirm receipt of the application and notify you if additional information is required to consider the application complete. (Keep in mind that some projects - floodplain development, for example - may require more than one permit.)

The City of Yutan follows the 2021 International Residential Code - with Local Amendments - and the State's adopted (2018 ICC) codes for commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential structures. To obtain permit approval, all projects must demonstrate compliance with the adopted building codes, the City's zoning code, and any other applicable requirements (floodplain, municipal ordinance, etc.). 

No fees will be collected for initial review, however, the applicable permit fee based upon the project's valuation (see the fee schedule below) is required prior to permit approval. No construction shall be approved until the permit fee has been paid and a permit is issued.

Inspections will typically occur on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, depending on staff availability. Please plan inspections accordingly and contact our Community Planner as soon as possible (48 hours advance notice is encouraged). Staff will do their best to accommodate last-minute requests, but cannot guarantee availability.
