Details your installer can help confirm

Wood stove permits in Roy.

Roy’s Building Permits & Inspections office issues the permit.

Inside Roy city limits, permits come from Building Permits & Inspections in the Community Development Office at 5051 South 1900 West (801-774-1040). All single-family and two-family permits can be applied for online, and the city’s list of common permits includes fireplaces (wood, pellet or gas), heating installations and mechanical work. Roy has adopted the state-amended 2021 IRC, IMC and IFGC, and inspections are requested online. The page names approved third-party inspectors. The Municipal Center is open Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday until noon. The page does not name wood stoves or inserts, so ask which permit covers yours.

Roy City: Building Permits & Inspections

Read this first: no burning on mandatory no-burn days.

Utah Admin. Code R307-302 covers all of Weber County west of the Wasatch mountain range, which includes Roy. When the 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 whole home and registered with DAQ. The rule has no exemption for a power outage or a failed furnace. On voluntary action days DAQ asks residents not to burn.

Utah Admin. Code R307-302, Solid Fuel Burning Devices

Buying a stove? It must be EPA certified.

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 in the Weber County area that includes Roy. A non-certified stove installed before March 6, 2014 may pass with a house in a sale if it stays in place. Only seasoned wood may be burned.

Utah Admin. Code R307-302, Solid Fuel Burning Devices

Wood your only heat? Register it as a sole source.

Utah’s Division of Air Quality lists Weber County west of the Wasatch Range among areas where wood fireplaces, wood stoves (EPA certified or not), pellet and coal stoves are prohibited on mandatory no-burn days. It says officers use infrared cameras and fines reach $150, and that no-burn days can be called outside the usual November 1 to March 1 season. Only a device registered as the home’s sole source of heat may burn.

Utah DEQ: Mandatory No Burn Days

Clearing the yard? Use DAQ’s burn permit.

Roy Fire & Rescue says it no longer issues open burn permits; residents apply through the Division of Air Quality’s online system before burning. It lists the open burn periods for Roy and the lower Weber County valley as March 30 to May 30 and September 15 to October 30, allows natural growth only, bars trash and dimensional lumber, and requires a clearing index above 500.

What to ask a Roy installer.

  1. Is this stove EPA certified under R307-302, and will you give me the certification paperwork?
  2. Will you apply for the Roy permit online, and will the city or one of its approved third-party inspectors do the inspections?
  3. Since Weber County no-burn days apply even in an outage, what backup heat would you pair with this stove?

Compare quotes on the same scope.

Request separate details for the appliance, chimney or liner, hearth work, labor, removal, permits, inspections, and exclusions. Confirm any paid assessment before booking.

Will you save on heating?

There is no reliable single savings figure for every Roy home. Compare your current heating cost with delivered dry wood, appliance efficiency, how much heat you will replace, maintenance, and the upfront installation. Backup comfort and financial payback are separate decisions. Compare all heating options

Answers before you request a quote

Roy wood stove installation FAQs.

Can I use a wood stove in Roy 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 in Weber County west of the Wasatch Range during mandatory periods, EPA-certified stoves included, with no exception for outages or furnace failure. Check the day’s action level before relying on the stove.

Who issues the permit for a wood stove in Roy?

Roy’s Building Permits & Inspections office, through its online application system; its list of common permits includes fireplaces (wood, pellet or gas). The page does not name wood stoves, so call 801-774-1040 to ask which permit applies. The city lists Beacon Code, Jeff Woody and WC 3 as approved third-party inspectors.

Can I burn leftover lumber from the install outside?

No. Roy Fire & Rescue says open burns may use only natural growth such as leaves and tree trimmings, bars trash and dimensional lumber, and requires a DAQ permit during the spring and fall windows. Its recreational-fire rules allow only firewood, charcoal or propane. Haul crating and offcuts away instead.
