Engineering Department

What we do...

Under the direction of  Vern Loveless, the Department of Engineering is charged with the long and short range planning, development, building inspection, road maintenance, code enforcement and infrastructure improvements in Tooele County.

The Department of Engineering accepts applications for building permits,
conditional use permits, professional filming permits, rezone requests,

In order to accomplish this, the department has 3 divisions:

The planning and zoning division handles the short and long range planning efforts of the county. They also maintain and enforce the zoning and subdivision ordinances. This division also is the criminal code investigation and enforcement element.

The building inspection and code compliance division reviews all plans of
structures being built in Tooele County. They perform plan reviews as well
as on site inspections. They enforce the building, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical codes.

The GIS Division is responsible for the creation, manipulation, interpretation and maintenance of spatial data within the County. Other responsibilities include cartographic design and map production.
