What is Required Before a Demolition?
What is a demolition? Utah Asbestos Rule says a demolition project means the wrecking, salvage, or removal of any load-
supporting structural member of a regulated facility together with any related handing operations, or the intentional
burning of any regulated facility.
The Steps The Details
(1) Have an asbestos inspection done by
a Utah certified asbestos
company/individual
Before a demolition can take place, an asbestos inspection must be done by
a Utah certified inspector working for a Utah certified company.
A list of certified companies can be found by following the link at the
bottom of this document.
Companies who perform inspections will be marked with an “I” on the list.
(2) If the certified asbestos inspector
finds any regulated asbestos-containing
materials (RACM), then it must be
removed by a Utah certified asbestos
company prior to the demolition.
If the certified asbestos inspector does
not find any RACM, then move onto
step 3, below.
A list of certified companies can be found by following the link at the
bottom of this document.
Companies who remove asbestos (called abatement) will be marked with an
“A” on the list.
If you don’t know if RACM was found during the inspection, then talk to
your inspector or contact the DAQ for help.
(3) Fill out and send the demolition
notification form to the DAQ. Pay the
application fee.

Things to Remember:
• The demolition notification form requires a 10-working day notification period. This means that the start date
must be two weeks or more from the day you submit and pay for the notification form. You cannot start
demolition any sooner than your start date. You may remove interior fixtures such as lighting and plumbing
before your start date.
• Demolition start and end dates are not a “window of opportunity.” You must start the demolition on your start
date and end the demolition on your end date. You can revise the start and end dates as many times as you need to
as your project timeline changes.
• Revisions (changes to the form), are submitted to the DAQ online or by email. Please note: if you are changing
your start or end dates, there are restrictions on when you can make changes (see below):
o If the new start date is later than the original start date, then you must send your revised form to the
DAQ no later than the day before the original start date.
o If the new start date is earlier than the original start date, then you must send your revised form to the
DAQ at least ten working days before the new start date.
o If you finish the project earlier than your original end date, then you must send your revised form to the
DAQ when you finish your project.
o If you need more time to finish and want to extend your end date, then you must send your revised form
to the DAQ no later than your original end date.
• The demolition notification fee is determined by the square footage of the building being demolished (all levels,
including subsurface levels). The fee includes a base fee of $27.50 and a per unit fee of $55 for every 5,000 square
feet or fraction thereof. Therefore, for any structure that is 5,000 square feet or less, the fee is $82.50. If you need
help calculating your application fee, please contact DAQ.
