Application for Nonconforming Structure Certificate Ogden City Development Services 2549 Washington Blvd. Suite 240 Ogden, UT 84401 Phone: [PHONE REDACTED] Ogden City is an older community, which has some structures that do not conform to the present set-back, height restrictions, landscaping requirements, parking regulations, lot area or other regulations excluding the use of land. Such structures are called “nonconforming.” These nonconforming situations, if they occurred legally before the current land use regulations were implemented, have a right to remain as they were constructed. A Nonconforming Certificate is the City’s acknowledgment that the structure was legal at its time of construction and is allowed to remain. If the structure deteriorates to a condition that the building is rendered uninhabitable or is removed, it shall not be rebuilt or restored. Any future expansion or change of use will require additional permits.
