THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE (WITH THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE), MANDATORY STATEWIDE UNDER UTAH LAW -- NOT A LOCAL HERRIMAN ADOPTION, AND CONFIRMED BY THE CITY'S OWN CURRENT STATEMENT. Utah Code 15A-2-103(1): "the following construction codes are incorporated by reference ... (a) the 2024 edition of the International Building Code ... (b) the 2021 edition of the International Residential Code." Utah Code 15A-1-204(1)(a): "The State Construction Code is the construction codes ... that the state and each political subdivision of the state shall follow." 15A-1-204(1)(b)(ii)(A) reaches an existing building whose owner is "voluntarily engaged in ... the repair, renovation, remodeling, alteration, enlargement, rehabilitation, conservation, or reconstruction of the building." Herriman's own Building Codes and Design Criteria page independently states: "Applicable Building Codes in use in Herriman City: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC, including amendments to the 2021 Residential Energy Code and Appendix AE & AQ) ... 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendix C & J ... Applicable Utah State Amendments." The only codified local IRC Chapter 9 amendments the Legislature has authorized anywhere in Utah (Title 15A, Chapter 4, Part 2) apply to Park City and Sandy City only, both wildfire wood-roof or ignition-resistant construction provisions, and neither names Herriman. Herriman's own codified building ordinance (which would independently confirm whether any local amendment layers on top of the state code) was not reachable this session: its code host, herriman.municipalcodeonline.com, returned a server error, and the same jurisdiction's Municode product record returns an empty "no published codification" response. Separately, Utah Code 65A-8-203(9)(a) (enacted by HB 48, effective 2026-01-01) requires every municipality to "adopt and enforce" the 2006 Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code (adopted at 15A-2-103(2)) in any area it designates wildland-urban interface; nothing self-executes and no statewide registry of adopting jurisdictions exists. Dated change, read 2026-09-23 in the enrolled bill and in the codified Title 15A Chapter 2: H.B. 41 (2026 General Session, Laws of Utah 2026 Chapter 386) will take effect on January 1, 2027 for Utah Code 15A-2-103, whose Subsection (2) then reads "the Legislature adopts the 2024 edition of the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code, issued by the International Code Council" in place of the 2006 Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code "that may be adopted by a local compliance agency by local ordinance or other similar action as a local amendment". The same act enacts Section 15A-3-1101, which amends that code's Section 302.1 and deletes its Section 602. Section 65A-8-203(9)(c), in its current codified text, provides that where "the state adopts a different wildland urban interface building standard", a county or municipality "has two years from the date the state adopts the different wildland urban interface building standard to adopt the appropriate wildland urban interface building standard." This record does not decide how Subsection (9)(a), which still speaks of an edition of the Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code, reads against the 2027 text, or what the 2024 code requires of a reroof. Herriman's own Wildland-Urban Interface Program page describes the State's forthcoming "high-risk" wildfire fee map (to be published on the State's Utah Wildfire Risk Assessment Portal starting January 1, 2026) and a resulting fee billed by Salt Lake County, and states that "the City's local role relates to enforcing building and safety rules (WUI Code) in areas where those rules apply." That page does not name an adopting ordinance, a declared WUI zone under UWUIC Section 301, or the UWUIC Section 507 rule that pulls a roof covering replacement of 25 percent or more into the code. This record does not establish, and does not assert either way, whether Herriman has adopted the UWUIC or declared a WUI zone.

Applications for a re-roof permit are submitted through Herriman's online Permit Application Form, entering "Re-Roof" in the "Description of Work" field. Where solar panels will be removed and reinstalled exactly as they were, the applicant adds that detail to the description; where solar will be removed and altered or increased after the re-roof, the solar installer must separately apply for a Solar Panel Permit. Permit fees are invoiced after the application is received (see the three differing City-published fee figures under repair_permit_threshold) and may be paid by check payable to Herriman City, or by phone with a credit card; payments over $1,000 may also be made by electronic check. Inspections must be scheduled by calling 801-446-5327 before 4:00 p.m. for the following business day or after. A re-roof typically requires a timed mid-roof inspection (contractor must be on site) and an untimed final inspection, except that the final inspection becomes timed if solar panels in a fenced back yard require inspector access.
