Home additions · Springville, UT
In Springville, an addition goes through Planning and Zoning and Storm Water review before the building department looks at it. We line up the site plan, setbacks, and drawings so the city has what it needs the first time.
Home additions in Springville
Springville caps how much of your lot buildings can cover. In the R1-8, R1-10, and R1-15 zones the limit is 35 percent, and 40 to 50 percent of the lot has to stay open space. An addition has to fit inside both numbers.
Setbacks come next. In R1-8 and R1-10, the rear setback is 25 feet. Side yards need at least 8 feet each and 20 feet combined. In R1-15, the rear setback grows to 30 feet.
Then there is the age of the house. Springville's median home was built in 1996, but about 819 homes date from 1939 or earlier.
If yours sits in the Springville Historic District, the district's design standards for additions come first and win over the regular code.
"He knows what he is doing, shows up when he says he will, and his pricing is very fair. I refer him to numerous clients and have for years."
Aren Bybee · Repeat referrerAdditions for Springville lots
A family room or bedroom off the back. The city checks your setbacks at the footing inspection, before any concrete is poured.
A small push-out for a kitchen or bath. Springville's brochure says any addition to a building needs a permit, even a small one.
A new bedroom wing counts toward the 35 percent lot coverage cap in the R1 zones, so we measure the whole footprint first.
Going up adds space without using more yard. Springville caps houses at 30 feet in the R1 zones and 35 feet in A1.
Rear porches and decks may reach 10 feet into the rear setback. An unwalled patio cover has to stay 15 feet from the rear line.
A front porch can extend up to 5 feet past the front setback line in most residential zones, or 7 feet in A1. It can have a cover, but it cannot be enclosed.
"Dakota did such an amazing job on my project. He handled all the subcontractors and would call me when they were coming next. The workmanship is excellent and I am very happy with the process and end result."

"We had a wonderful experience working with Dakota and his subs. He will actually do what he says he will do and does a great job. I would highly recommend him!"
"Dakota did multiple things for us in one of our duplexes. He showed up when he said he would, finished in a timely manner, and his work was top notch. His prices were great. I am planning to use Dakota on our other rental properties."
"I've worked with dozens of general contractors in Utah County. Dakota was excellent with communication, fair pricing, and great subs. I live in a 105 year old house in Springville. By the time we ran into a problem, he already was churning up a solid permanent solution."
Springville permit steps
Springville's addition brochure and its 2026 residential checklist spell out the steps. Knowing them up front keeps the permit from bouncing back.
After 2025 state law changes, Springville's Planning and Zoning and Storm Water staff approve the plans before the building department reviews them. Incomplete applications are not accepted.
The city's brochure says plan review takes about three weeks, and longer if corrections are needed. Clean drawings and a full site plan help avoid that.
The site plan has to show irrigation ditches and the pressurized irrigation box, which cannot sit in the driveway. Springville also wants flood plains and fault lines on the drawings when they apply.
Springville runs its own power department. Its fee list ties power charges to the size of your electric service, so a bigger panel for the addition is worth pricing early.
"He gets things planned, scheduled, and done. Dakota was recommended to us, and we will pass that recommendation on."
