Wood stove permits in Cedar City.
Apply to Cedar City Building & Zoning through its online portal.
Inside city limits, Cedar City Building & Zoning at 10 N. Main St. handles permits; the permit technician is at (435) 865-4519. Since January 1, 2019, every building permit must be applied for online through the city’s permit portal, where you also upload documents, request inspections and track status. Inspections need at least one business day’s notice. The city lists the 2021 International Residential Code and 2024 International Mechanical Code among its adopted codes. Its pages do not name wood stoves, so ask which permit type covers a stove, insert or new chimney. The portal rejects addresses outside the city’s jurisdiction, so county addresses go elsewhere.
Cedar City: Building & ZoningNo state no-burn days here, but the choice of stove is yours to check.
Utah’s R307-302 sets mandatory no-burn periods and bans selling or installing non-EPA-certified stoves only in named areas of Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, Utah, Box Elder, Tooele counties and the Cache Valley. Iron County is not listed, and a chapter-by-chapter check of Cedar City’s fire, health and building code chapters found no burn-day ordinance. A stove here can serve as outage heat, subject to fire restrictions. Because the state certification rule doesn’t apply, ask the seller to confirm the model’s EPA certification yourself.
Utah Admin. Code R307-302, Solid Fuel Burning DevicesDoing it yourself? Owner-builders need a notarized form.
Cedar City’s Building Permit Guide says every permit requires applicable DOPL-licensed contractor information before it is issued. Residential owners doing all or part of the work can instead upload a notarized Owner/Builder form, and contractor details then become optional. Contractors and designers listed with email addresses can log into the portal to view plans, schedule inspections and upload documents. The portal works with PDF files only.
Cedar City Building Permit Guide (PDF)Burning trash or yard waste? That’s banned in town.
Cedar City Code 17-17 prohibits open burning of trash, waste material, construction waste and yard waste within city limits as a Class B misdemeanor, and requires a fire department permit for large recreational fires. Its definition of open burning excludes a furnace or fireplace connected to a stack or chimney, so an indoor stove is not open burning. The code does not name wood stoves, so ask the fire department if in doubt.
Cedar City Code Chapter 17, Fire Department (Sec. 17-17)Older home near downtown? Check the historic district.
Cedar City’s blocks from Shakespeare Lane to 200 South and from 100 West to 300 West were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 as the Cedar City Historic District, with 172 homes. The city’s Historic Preservation Commission is advisory. We found no local design review for residential exterior work, but ask Building & Zoning before adding a chimney to a listed home.

- Will you apply for the permit through Cedar City’s online portal, or should I file as an owner-builder?

Cedar City wood stove installation FAQs.
Does Cedar City have mandatory no-burn days like the Wasatch Front?
Not under state rules. Utah’s R307-302 no-burn periods apply only in named areas of seven northern counties, and Iron County is not one of them. A check of Cedar City’s code found no local burn-day ordinance. Fire officials can still restrict outdoor burning, so watch local notices.
Who issues the permit for a wood stove in Cedar City?
Cedar City Building & Zoning, for addresses inside city limits. All applications go through the city’s online permit portal, and inspections need one business day’s notice. The pages do not name wood stoves, so call the permit technician at (435) 865-4519 to ask which permit type fits.
Can I install a wood stove myself in Cedar City?
The city’s permit guide lets residential owners doing their own work upload a notarized Owner/Builder form instead of contractor details. You still need a permit and inspections. Ask Building & Zoning what it wants to see for clearances, the chimney and the roof penetration before you start.
