Note for future audits: the source writes the rate denominator as 'per thousand', NOT 'per $1,000'. This file paraphrases it as 'per $1,000 of valuation', which invents the token '1000' that appears nowhere in the source — that single paraphrase is why the drift detector flagged this file at 100% across 27 separate fee entries. Every one was a false positive; nothing had changed. |

Change of Occupancy / Certificate of Occupancy
The City of Clovis has no standalone change-of-use, change-of-occupancy, or certificate-of-occupancy application or fee -- confirmed directly against the Building Safety, Building Permits, and Permitting & Inspections pages and the Commercial New and Commercial Addition/Remodel Building Permit applications on 2026-07-22, none of which contain a dedicated occupancy-change form or line item. The City's own Building Safety page states building permits are required to 'construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy of any commercial or residential building or structure,' so a change of occupancy or use is processed as a standard Commercial (or Residential) Addition/Remodel Building Permit rather than a separate product.
