Salt Lake City (Utah). Division of Building Services and Licensing

These registers are a listing of all building permits issued by Building and Housing Services. They are used for research not requiring the actual description contained on the permit invoice. Since 1977, the record has been generated by computer. Early volumes were found in the engineer's office and may have been created by that office; into the 1950s, they may have been created by the building inspector's office. Volumes include information on date, permit number, builder, location, type of building, and cost estimates.

This series contains registers documenting the issuing of building permits for various building construction projects in Salt Lake City. Entries are numbered consecutively in the chronological order in which the building permits were registered. The entry number coincided with the number of the building permit issued. In addition to the permit number, the registers record such information as the date of the permit, the property owner or individual applying for the permit, the architect on the project, the project builder, the address of the building, a very brief description of the type of building or project, and the estimated cost.
