Do I need a permit for standby generator installation in Unincorporated Piute County?

Permit required

Yes. In Utah, standby generator installation generally requires a permit, and Unincorporated Piute County is no exception.

Utah amends IRC Section E3401.2 so the IRC electrical chapters expressly cover generators, optional standby systems, and interconnected power sources. Fuel gas piping is regulated under the IRC fuel gas chapter and the 2024 IFGC adopted statewide (15A-2-103). A portable generator plugged into equipment with cords is different from a permanently installed standby unit with a transfer switch, which needs permits.
