Wood stove permits in Murray.
Murray’s Building Division issues the permit through eProcess 360.
Inside Murray, permits come from the Murray City Building Division (801-270-2431, permits@murray.utah.gov), and all applications must be submitted online through eProcess 360. The city’s fee sheet, effective July 1, 2026, lists a residential Mechanical permit, and its submittal checklists require the mechanical contractor’s state license number before a permit is issued. Its pages do not name wood stoves, so ask which permit type covers a stove, insert or liner and what it needs for the listing, clearances and venting. The city says applications filed on or after July 1, 2026 follow the 2024 IMC, with the IRC staying at 2021. Holladay, Taylorsville and Millcreek are separate cities.
Murray City Building InspectionRead this first: winter burning is restricted on action days.
Salt Lake County Health Regulation #35 covers Murray. From November 1 through March 1 it bars burning solid fuel on both voluntary and mandatory action days declared by Utah’s Division of Air Quality, after a burn-down period of no more than three hours. Registered sole-source homes are exempt, and a temporary sole-source exemption may be granted if the oil, natural gas, electric or propane heating system fails. It is not automatic, so ask the county how to request one before counting on a stove in an outage.
Salt Lake County Health Regulation #35, Solid Fuel Burning (PDF, adopted 2015)The county’s burn office is in Murray.
Salt Lake County’s Health Department says its Air Quality Bureau regulates wood and other solid-fuel burning in the county, and lists the bureau at 788 East Woodoak Lane (5380 South) in Murray, 385-468-3837. On voluntary and mandatory action days from November 1 to March 1 it bans burning in fireplaces and wood stoves and outdoor fires, including patio pits and charcoal grills. Notices of violation can bring penalties up to $299 per day.
Salt Lake County Health Department: Sources of Air PollutionBuying a stove? It must be EPA certified.
Utah Admin. Code 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 R307-302-2 applies it to all of Salt Lake County. A non-certified stove installed before March 6, 2014 may pass with a house in a sale if it stays in place. A used older stove bought for a new Murray install will not meet the rule.
Utah Admin. Code R307-302, Solid Fuel Burning DevicesList every contractor’s state license on the application.
Murray’s Residential Remodel and Miscellaneous submittal checklists say the contractor’s name, phone, address and state license numbers, including the mechanical contractor’s, are required before a permit is issued, and plans with mechanical equipment details may be required. Murray also posts Utah’s owner-builder certification form for homeowners doing their own work. Ask any installer for its Utah license number before signing.

Murray wood stove installation FAQs.
Can I use a wood stove in Murray during a winter power outage?
Not automatically. From November 1 to March 1, Salt Lake County’s Regulation #35 bans burning on voluntary and mandatory action days. It says a temporary sole-source exemption may be granted if the regular heating system fails. Call the county Air Quality Bureau in Murray (385-468-3837) before winter to ask how; this guide cannot promise it will be granted.
Does Murray require a permit for a wood stove?
Very likely. Murray takes all building permit applications through eProcess 360, and its fee sheet lists a residential Mechanical permit. Its pages do not name wood stoves, so call the Building Division at 801-270-2431 or email permits@murray.utah.gov with the stove model and venting plan and ask which permit applies.
What if a wood stove is my only heat?
Utah’s R307-302 lets a home in a no-burn area use a solid-fuel device during no-burn periods only if it is the sole source of heat for the entire residence and registered with the Division of Air Quality. Salt Lake County’s Regulation #35 also exempts registered sole-source homes. A house with a working furnace does not qualify.
