    Its Holladay page is about gas fireplaces and says Alpine installs across Salt Lake County from a Sandy showroom about 15 minutes south. Its wood stove page offers wood stoves at showrooms including Sandy and Sugar House, but does not say it installs them. Ask whether it installs the wood stove or insert itself, whether the model is EPA certified, and who files the Holladay permit.

Details your installer can help confirm

Wood stove permits in Holladay.

Holladay’s Building Division issues the permit.

Holladay issues its own building permits through its Building Division (801-527-3890, permits@holladayut.gov), which handles plan checks, permits and inspections for remodels and alterations. Its FAQ says permits are required for HVAC work, including replacement or installation of heating and venting equipment, and for plumbing installations that list fireplaces. Applications go through the city’s online portal, and a building permit checklist and zoning worksheet must be submitted with each one. The city enforces the 2021 International Residential and Mechanical Codes with state amendments. Its pages don’t name wood stoves, so ask which permit a stove, insert or liner needs, ideally at a Monday or Wednesday consultation.

Read this first: county no-burn days from November to March.

Salt Lake County Health Regulation #35 covers incorporated cities such as Holladay. From November 1 through March 1, no one at a home may burn solid fuel or use a wood stove or fireplace on a voluntary or mandatory action day set by Utah’s Division of Air Quality, once a burn-down period ends. Homes registered with the state as sole-source heat are exempt, and a temporary sole-source exemption may be granted if the oil, gas, electric or propane system fails. Ask the county how that works before winter.

Salt Lake County Health Regulation #35, Solid Fuel Burning (PDF, adopted 2015)

New stove? It must be EPA certified.

Utah’s R307-302-6 says no person shall sell, offer for sale, supply, install or transfer a wood 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. Holladay lists its elevation as 4,300 to 5,100 feet, below the 7,000-foot line where the state’s no-burn periods stop applying. An older stove installed before March 6, 2014 may stay with a house when it sells.

Near the foothills? Check the WUI map.

Holladay’s City Council adopted a Wildland Urban Interface overlay map on December 4, 2025. The city says new construction and major remodels in WUI zones must follow Utah’s wildland code, including fire-resistant roofing and siding, ember-resistant vents and defensible space, while existing homes face no retroactive changes. If a stove is part of a larger remodel on the city’s east side, ask whether your lot is in a WUI zone.

Who enforces the county burn ban.

Salt Lake County’s Health Department says it bans burning in fireplaces and wood stoves, along with bonfires, patio pits and charcoal grill fires, on mandatory and voluntary action days from November 1 to March 1. It notes that even EPA-certified stoves emit as much pollution as 60 gas furnaces. Its Air Quality Bureau (385-468-3837) investigates complaints, and notices of violation can bring penalties of up to $299 per day.

What to ask a Holladay installer.

  1. Will you file the Holladay permit through the city portal, with the permit checklist and zoning worksheet it requires?
  2. Is the stove or insert EPA certified under R307-302-6, and can I have the certification paperwork?
  3. How should I plan for Salt Lake County’s November-to-March action days, and how does the temporary exemption work if my furnace fails?

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 Holladay 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

Holladay wood stove installation FAQs.

Does Holladay issue its own wood stove permits?

Yes. Holladay’s Building Division issues building permits for the city, and its permit list includes heating and venting equipment and fireplaces. Its pages don’t name wood stoves, so call 801-527-3890 or email permits@holladayut.gov with the model and venting plan. While City Hall is being remodeled, the office is at 3330 S 1300 E in Millcreek.

Can I use a wood stove in Holladay during a winter power outage?

Not on an action day unless you hold an exemption. Regulation #35 bans solid-fuel burning on voluntary and mandatory action days from November 1 to March 1. Registered sole-source homes are exempt, and the county says a temporary exemption may be granted if your main heating system fails. It is not automatic, so ask the county before winter.

Does the 7,000-foot exemption apply anywhere in Holladay?

No. Utah’s R307-302 lifts its no-burn periods only above 7,000 feet, and Holladay lists its elevation as 4,300 to 5,100 feet. The EPA-certification rule for new stoves applies at any elevation in Salt Lake County, and the county’s own action-day ban has no elevation exemption.
