If you’re planning to build on land in Salt Lake City, knowing the costs of connecting utilities is essential. Connecting utilities like water, electricity, gas, and sewer lines to your property can quickly add up. The cost depends on factors like proximity to existing utility lines, local zoning regulations, and site conditions. For example, running electricity to your land may cost $5 to $25 per linear foot, while connecting to city water could range from $1,000 to $6,000 or more.
In some cases, installing a well and septic system might be a better option, particularly if your property is far from main utility lines. Permit fees can also add to your expenses, with costs ranging from $500 to $2,000 or higher in certain areas.
