Croft Fireplace
Sales & installation · Has a Syracuse page under its Davis County service area; store at 530 West 1500 South, Woods CrossIts Syracuse page offers three installation packages, including fitting a ‘gas, wood, or electric insert’ into an existing firebox, and mentions wood-burning fireplace models. Its product menus list gas stoves, not wood stoves, so this is an insert option rather than a stove dealer. Ask whether the insert is EPA certified and who applies for the Syracuse permit.

Wood stove permits in Syracuse.
Syracuse’s Building Department issues the permit.
Inside city limits, the Syracuse Building Department at City Hall, 1979 West 1900 South, issues permits, and Syracuse Code 9.05.020 bars altering or improving any building without one. All residential applications and plans are submitted digitally through the city’s online portal. The department’s permit checklist lists fireplaces (wood, pellet or gas), heating installations and mechanical work as inside work that needs a permit. Its design requirements cite the 2021 IRC, 2024 IMC and 2024 IFC. Every permit needs inspections, including a final to close it, and staff say to call if unsure which inspections apply (801-825-1477, option 4). Pages don’t name wood stoves, so ask which project type covers a stove or insert.
Syracuse City: Building DepartmentRead this first: no burning on mandatory no-burn days.
Utah Admin. Code R307-302 covers all regions of Davis County, Syracuse included. When Utah’s 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 entire home and registered with DAQ. The rule has no exemption for a power outage or a failed furnace. On voluntary action days, Davis County Health Department says burning is discouraged rather than restricted.
Utah Admin. Code R307-302, Solid Fuel Burning DevicesBuying 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 the rule applies across Davis County. 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 DevicesWood your only heat? Register it as a sole source.
Utah’s Division of Air Quality lists Davis County among the counties where wood fireplaces, wood stoves (EPA certified or not), pellet and coal stoves are prohibited on mandatory no-burn days. It says compliance officers use infrared cameras and fines reach $150, and that no-burn days, usually called November 1 to March 1, can be called any time. Only a device registered as the home’s sole source of heat may burn.
Utah DEQ: Mandatory No Burn DaysInstall leftovers can’t go on a yard fire.
Syracuse Code Chapter 7.20 prohibits open and outdoor burning unless the chapter allows it, and defines construction waste to include lumber, treated or painted wood, plastics and packaging. Brush and leaf burning is limited to agricultural zones, lots with 20 or more trees or at least two acres, needs permission from the Davis County Fire Warden or Fire Chief, and is barred on DEQ air quality action days.
Syracuse Municipal Code Chapter 7.20, Outdoor and Open BurningThis is a planning guide, not a permit determination. The local authority and your installer must confirm current requirements for your property and appliance. We have not verified project-specific approvals or fees.

What to ask a Syracuse installer.
- Is this stove or insert EPA certified under R307-302, and will you give me the paperwork?
- Will you apply through Syracuse’s online portal under the fireplace or mechanical project type, and book the final inspection?
- Since Davis 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.

Syracuse wood stove installation FAQs.
Can I use a wood stove in Syracuse 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 across Davis County during mandatory periods, EPA-certified stoves included, and contains no exception for outages or furnace failure. Check the day’s action level for Davis County before relying on the stove.
Does a wood stove or insert need a permit in Syracuse?
Plan on it. The city’s permit checklist lists fireplaces (wood, pellet or gas) and heating installations as inside work that requires a building permit, and every permit needs a final inspection to close. Apply through the online portal; if you are unsure which project type fits, the city says to choose ‘Other’ and staff will help.
Do Syracuse’s open-burning rules limit my indoor stove?
No. Syracuse Code 7.20.020(B) says the outdoor and open burning chapter does not apply to burning for heat in a stove, furnace or fireplace inside a habitable building. The state no-burn rule, R307-302, is what limits indoor stoves, and the city chapter still bars burning installation scraps outdoors.
