Wood stove permits in Bountiful.
Bountiful City Building Department issues the permit through CityInspect.
Inside city limits, the Bountiful City Building Department at 795 South Main Street (801-298-6125) handles permits, and all applications now go through the CityInspect online portal. The department is open Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., issuing permits until 5:30 p.m. Its current design criteria list the 2021 International Residential Code as adopted by the State of Utah. An owner doing their own remodel files the state Owner/Builder form. The Building page does not name wood stoves, so ask which permit type covers a stove, insert or new chimney. West Bountiful, Woods Cross, Centerville and North Salt Lake are separate cities with their own permit offices.
Bountiful City: BuildingRead this first: no burning on mandatory no-burn days.
Utah Admin. Code R307-302 covers all regions of Davis County, including Bountiful. When Utah’s Division of Air Quality declares a mandatory no-burn period, no one may use a solid-fuel device, EPA-certified stoves included, unless it is the sole source of heat for the entire home and registered with DAQ. The rule has no exemption for a power outage or a failed furnace. On voluntary action days burning is discouraged, not banned.
Utah Admin. Code R307-302, Solid Fuel Burning DevicesBuying a stove or fireplace? Check its EPA status.
R307-302-6 says no person shall sell, offer for sale, supply, install or transfer a wood burning stove that is not EPA certified, or a fireplace that is not EPA qualified, and it applies across Davis County. A non-certified stove installed before March 6, 2014 may pass with a house in a sale if it stays in place. The rule also requires seasoned wood and bans burning trash, plastic and treated wood.
Utah Admin. Code R307-302, Solid Fuel Burning DevicesWood your only heat? Register it as a sole source.
Utah’s Division of Air Quality says no fireplace, wood stove, pellet stove or coal stove, including EPA-certified units, may burn during a mandatory action period unless registered with DAQ as the home’s sole source of heat. It says compliance officers use infrared cameras and assess fines of up to $150, and no-burn days can be called outside the usual November 1 to March 1 season. The page links the sole-source application.
Utah DEQ: Mandatory No Burn DaysSummer fire limits don’t cover indoor fireplaces.
Bountiful City Code 10-1-122 makes it unlawful to build or use a fire in the city from April 1 through October 31 near roads, trails or homes, but lists fireplaces within residential structures as permissible. The Fire Marshal may still prohibit any or all fires in specified areas at any time for hazardous conditions, and open burning answers to the South Davis Metro Fire Service Area and state air rules.

Bountiful wood stove installation FAQs.
Can I use a wood stove in Bountiful during a winter power outage?
Only if it is not a mandatory no-burn day, or your home is registered with DAQ as a sole source of heat. R307-302 bars solid-fuel burning across Davis County during mandatory periods, EPA-certified stoves included, and contains no exception for outages or furnace failure. Check the day’s action level before relying on the stove.
Does Bountiful’s summer fire restriction stop me using an indoor stove?
Bountiful Code 10-1-122 restricts fires from April 1 through October 31 but lists fireplaces within residential structures as permissible. The code does not name wood stoves, and the Fire Marshal can prohibit fires in specified areas during hazardous conditions, so ask if you plan to burn in summer.
Who issues the permit for a wood stove in Bountiful?
The Bountiful City Building Department, through the CityInspect portal. Its pages do not list wood stoves, so call 801-298-6125 to ask which permit type applies. If the city cannot inspect within three business days, its policy allows an approved third-party inspector after you notify the city.
