Wood stove permits in Kaysville.
Kaysville’s Building Department issues the permit.
Inside city limits, the Kaysville Building Department at 23 E Center Street issues permits and inspects the work. Its permit page says permits are required for new construction, remodels and repairs, and its list names fireplaces, furnace and air-conditioning work and mechanical changes. Plans go through the city’s online building permit portal (City Inspect), where you pay fees and print the permit; most permits take about two weeks to review. Inspections are booked by phone (801-544-1363) with at least 24 hours’ notice and a permit number, and same-day inspections aren’t offered. The page doesn’t name wood stoves or inserts, so ask whether yours is filed as a fireplace or a mechanical change.
Kaysville City: Building PermitsRead this first: no-burn days apply in outages.
Kaysville falls under Utah Admin. Code R307-302, which covers all regions of Davis County. When Utah’s Division of Air Quality announces a mandatory no-burn period, no one in the county may use a solid-fuel burning device, EPA-certified stoves included, unless it is the sole source of heat for the entire residence and registered with the director. The rule defines sole source as the only heat available except small portable heaters, and it contains no exception for power outages or furnace failures.
Utah Admin. Code R307-302, Solid Fuel Burning DevicesOnly EPA-certified stoves may be installed.
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. A non-certified stove installed before March 6, 2014 may pass with a house in a real estate sale only if it stays in place. The same rule allows only seasoned wood, defined as 25% moisture or less, in a solid-fuel device.
Utah Admin. Code R307-302, Solid Fuel Burning DevicesHow no-burn days are enforced.
Utah DEQ says mandatory actions ban wood fireplaces, wood stoves (certified or not), pellet stoves and coal stoves across all regions of Salt Lake and Davis counties, while natural gas and propane appliances remain allowed. Compliance officers use infrared cameras that detect heat plumes without visible smoke, and fines reach $150. Actions are usually called from November 1 to March 1 but can come at other times.
Utah DEQ: Mandatory No Burn DaysInspection delayed? You may use another city.
Kaysville says that if it cannot complete a requested inspection within three business days, you may use one of its authorized third-party inspectors: the Syracuse, Farmington or West Haven building departments. You must first notify the City Building Official in writing, by email or letter, and third-party inspections aren’t authorized until the city confirms it cannot inspect in time.

What to ask a Kaysville installer.
- Is this stove or insert EPA certified under R307-302, and will you leave me the certification paperwork?
- Will you file the Kaysville permit through City Inspect as a fireplace or a mechanical change, and book the inspections?
- Since Davis County no-burn days apply even in an outage, what backup heat would you pair with this stove?

Kaysville wood stove installation FAQs.
Can I use a wood stove in Kaysville when the power goes out?
Only if no mandatory no-burn period is in effect, or your home is registered with Utah’s Division of Air Quality with the stove as its sole source of heat. R307-302 covers all of Davis County and has no exception for outages or furnace failures. Check the day’s burn status before lighting, and plan another backup for winter inversions.
Does a wood stove or insert need a permit in Kaysville?
Plan on one. Kaysville’s permit page lists fireplaces, furnaces and mechanical changes among work that requires a permit, and says to check with the Building Department before starting any project. Apply through the online portal; most permits take about two weeks to review, and inspections need a permit number and 24 hours’ notice.
What if Kaysville can’t inspect my stove in time?
If the city cannot do a requested inspection within three business days, you may use the Syracuse, Farmington or West Haven building department as a third-party inspector. Notify Kaysville’s Building Official in writing first; the third-party inspection isn’t authorized until the city confirms it can’t make the timeline.
