Change of Use / Change of Occupancy Permit in Tremonton, Utah

Tremonton does not publish a distinct 'change of use' permit type separate from its standard Building Permit. Tremonton City Code § 1.28.010 (Permit Required) states directly: 'UCA 10-9a-802(b) requires a Building Permit be issued to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure...' A change of use/occupancy is therefore processed as a standard Building Permit application under Chapter 1.28, culminating in a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the Building Official under § 1.28.050 once the structure is confirmed compliant with the adopted Building Code, City Ordinances, and any conditions of a prior Site Plan Permit or Conditional Use Permit. The City's Consolidated Fees and Fines Schedule (Resolution No. 25-42) has no dedicated 'change of use' or 'change of occupancy' fee line item -- a full-text review confirmed this.

Fee schedule

Permit Fee (valuation-based, if construction/alteration accompanies the use change)If the change of use involves construction or alteration work, Tremonton bills it under the same Section 3.1 (residential) or Section 3.3 (commercial/industrial/institutional/governmental) valuation-based Permit Fee structure used for new construction, per Resolution No. 25-42.
1% of Building Valuation (residential) or 1% of Building Valuation (commercial/industrial/institutional/governmental)
Inspections for which no fee is specifically indicated
Resolution No. 25-42, Section 3.5 Miscellaneous Building Inspection Service Fees. Show full citationResolution No. 25-42, Section 3.5 Miscellaneous Building Inspection Service Fees. This is the closest published catch-all fee category for a change-of-use/occupancy review with no accompanying construction valuation to base the standard percentage-based Permit Fee on; the schedule does not name 'change of use' or 'change of occupancy' specifically, so this category is not confirmed by the City to apply verbatim -- confirm directly with the Building Department, (435) 564-0897, before budgeting a specific project.

Tips

  • Tremonton has no separate 'change of use' permit or fee -- a change of occupancy is a Building Permit under Tremonton City Code § 1.28.010, which explicitly lists 'change the occupancy of a building or structure' among the triggers requiring a Building Permit (citing UCA 10-9a-802(b)).
  • If a proposed change of use involves zoning-nonconformance, the Zoning Administrator must give the Building Official written notice of the conflict under § 1.28.035(A), and the Building Official may not issue the permit for that structure until resolved.
  • Where a change of use involves no construction/alteration work (so there is no Building Valuation to calculate the standard percentage-based Permit Fee from), Tremonton's fee schedule does not name a specific 'change of use' fee -- confirm treatment with the Building Department, (435) 564-0897, before applying.

Tremonton, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); this supersedes the 2021 edition. Tremonton's own Building Criteria PDF (still hosted at the same URL, last modified April 2024) still lists '2021 International Building Code' and has not been updated to reflect the 7/1/2026 statewide edition change — the statute controls over the lagging city document.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide amendment. Consistent with Tremonton's own Building Criteria document.; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not itemized in Tremonton's own Building Criteria document, added here per statute.; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — per Tremonton's own Building Criteria document; NOTE: the IFC is adopted under Utah Code Title 15A Chapter 5, not § 15A-2-103 (which governs the IBC/IRC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/NEC/residential-ISPSC/MBI editions listed in this array) — § 15A-2-103 does not itself adopt or list an IFC edition, so this entry is unaffected by the 7/1/2026 § 15A-2-103 amendment.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); supersedes the 2021 edition. Tremonton's own Building Criteria document still lists '2021 International Fuel Gas Code' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition.

Tremonton's own Building Criteria document still lists '2021 International Plumbing Code' and has not been updated.; 2021 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) — per the same document; not adopted or superseded by § 15A-2-103, which does not list an IPMC edition, so this entry is unaffected by the 7/1/2026 amendment; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); supersedes the 2021 edition. Tremonton's own Building Criteria document still lists '2021 Energy Conservation Code' and has not been updated.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — CURRENT statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 amendment (2023 has been the statewide NEC edition since before this cycle). Tremonton's own Building Criteria document (live-checked 2026-07-16, still hosted at the same URL) lists '2020 National Electrical Code,' which is NOT a valid statewide-adopted edition and has not been corrected by the City — the statute controls. Confirm the currently enforced NEC edition directly with the Building Department before relying on the City's own document for a live project.; 1997 Edition of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings — per the same document; not governed by § 15A-2-103; 2017 Edition of the ICC/ANSI A117.1 Standard for Accessibility — per the same document; not governed by § 15A-2-103; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized in Tremonton's own Building Criteria document, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized in Tremonton's own Building Criteria document, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; MBI 1200 and MBI 1205 (manufactured/modular construction standards) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not itemized in Tremonton's own Building Criteria document, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027): the IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC and the residential ISPSC are now the 2024 statewide editions; the IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did not change from the prior cycle. Tremonton's own Building Criteria PDF (tremontoncity.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/BUILDING-DESIGN-CRITERIA.pdf) still lists 2021 IBC/IFGC/IMC/IPC, a '2021 Energy Conservation Code', and an outright incorrect '2020 National Electrical Code' — the City has not updated it for the statewide 7/1/2026 transition or the pre-existing 2023 NEC requirement. Design to the statute; the City's document lags it.. Local amendments apply — see the Tremonton overview page for the full list.
