Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Tremonton, Utah

Tremonton does not publish a separate tenant-improvement fee category. The City's Consolidated Fees and Fines Schedule (Resolution No. 25-42, effective 08/26/2025), Sections 3.3-3.4, bills all 'Industrial, Institutional, Commercial, & Governmental' work -- new construction, additions, and interior tenant-improvement/remodel projects alike -- under the same uniform structure: a 1%-of-Building-Valuation Permit Fee, a 1%-of-Permit-Fee State Fee, and a 65%-of-(Permit Fee + State Fee) Plan Review Fee (versus the 35% residential rate), with no separate tenant-improvement or commercial-remodel line item anywhere in the schedule. This is confirmed by direct read of the full Section 3.3/3.4 fee tables, which list only 'Permit Fee' and 'State Fee' (3.3) and 'Plan Review Fee' (3.4) rows -- no tenant-improvement or remodel sub-category exists on the commercial side, in contrast to Section 3.1's residential-only 'Small Scale Remodel or Construction' reduced-rate carve-outs (e.g., $60.00 electrical-only inspection).

Tips

  • Tremonton has no separate tenant-improvement fee line item -- interior commercial build-outs are billed under the same Section 3.3/3.4 'Industrial, Institutional, Commercial, & Governmental' Permit Fee (1% of valuation), State Fee (1% of Permit Fee), and 65% Plan Review Fee used for new commercial and industrial construction.
  • This contrasts with Tremonton's residential fee schedule (Section 3.1), which carves out reduced flat/percentage rates for 'Small Scale Remodel or Construction' (e.g., $60.00 electrical-only) -- no equivalent small-scale or tenant-improvement carve-out exists on the commercial side of the fee schedule.

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.

IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; 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) was re-fetched live 2026-07-16 and still lists 2021 IBC/IFGC/IMC/IPC/'2021 Energy Conservation Code' and an outright incorrect '2020 National Electrical Code' — none of these have been updated by the City to reflect the statewide 7/1/2026 transition or the pre-existing 2023 NEC requirement. The statute is cited directly as governing throughout; the City's lagging document is preserved above as recorded history, not deleted..
