Outside city limits: “Magna, Kearns, Emigration Canyon, and other unincorporated Salt Lake County districts are serviced through the Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District” (Building Permits). The MSD’s own page is even more direct: “MSD STAMPED PLANS MUST BE ON SITE PRINTED FULL SIZE.” (MSD Building Services)
Putting the Salt Lake City set together
- Keep the 0000 pages. The checklist counts them as part of the paper copy, so leave them in the PDF you upload and they print with the drawings.
- Keep the plans legible. Order the original drawing size rather than reducing small notes. See the PDF page size checker guide for checking dimensions.
- Color where it carries meaning. Fire-rated wall plans and life-safety sheets often use color to separate assemblies. Print those pages in color and the rest in black and white.
- UL listings go in the binder. Those are letter-size printouts for a three-ring binder. An office printer handles them, so keep them out of the large-format order.
- Merge before upload. If ProjectDox gave you several approved files, combine them in sheet order. See preparing a PDF plan set.
Building Services determines which approved documents belong on site. We print the files you provide; we do not submit them to the City or add approval stamps.
Salt Lake City projects we print for
- Bungalow additions and ADUs in Sugar House, the Avenues and Rose Park, where a homeowner needs the stamped set on site.
- Mid-rise and mixed-use buildings downtown and in the Granary District, with fire-rated assemblies on every floor.
- Contractors working on both sides of the city line: Magna or Kearns jobs go through the MSD, which wants its stamped plans printed full size. See plan printing for contractors.
