This is the town's 1975 typed zoning ordinance, the only one posted online (on Emery County's site). It may be outdated; confirm the current rules with the town.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.
Confirm anything here with Elmo planning before you rely on it.

other persons doing or performing any such work without a permit having been issued

buildings are erected or altered, and shall be subject to the penalties herein prescribed
