Local knowledge

What building in Emigration Canyon actually involves

Emigration Canyon is a linear community strung along a single canyon road east of the city, and building there has very little in common with building on the valley floor.

Lots are steep, wooded and often narrow. The houses range from cabins never intended for year-round use to substantial modern homes, and the constraints of the site drive the project far more than the design does.

Can I add a bathroom or bedroom on a septic system?
Most canyon properties are on septic. Adding a bedroom or a bathroom can exceed what the existing system was sized and permitted for, and that has to be established before a layout is settled rather than after.
What materials should I be using up the canyon?
Building in the wildland interface pushes toward ignition-resistant roofing, soffits, decking and vents, and toward defensible space around the structure. These are worth doing on their own merits whatever the code requires of a given project.
When can work actually happen up the canyon?
One canyon road, steep driveways and winter conditions limit when deliveries and equipment can reach a site at all. Exterior and structural work gets planned around a genuinely shorter usable season.
Do I need a permit for this in Emigration Canyon?
Anything structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing does. Emigration Canyon issues its own building permits through its building division, and we prepare the submittal, book the inspections and carry the job through to final sign-off — you are not left managing that yourself.
