Change of Use / Change of Occupancy Permit in Nibley, Utah
Nibley does not publish a standalone Change of Use, Change of Occupancy, or existing-building Certificate of Occupancy re-issuance permit type or fee. Neither the 2024 nor the current 2025-2026 Consolidated Fee Schedule (full text searched directly) contains a 'change of use' or 'change of occupancy' line item, and Nibley's Building Department and Planning & Zoning pages do not list a distinct Change of Use application. A change in use or occupancy classification for an existing building or tenant space in Nibley is instead processed through the city's existing mechanisms: (1) a Conditional Use Permit under Nibley City Code (NCC) Title 19 zoning standards when the new use is listed as a conditional use in the applicable zone; (2) a new or updated Commercial & Industrial Business License for the occupant/use itself, per the Consolidated Fee Schedule's Business Licenses & Fees section; and (3) the underlying Building Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit process (see this file's commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entry) for any physical alterations and for the Building Official's occupancy-classification review under the adopted 2024 IBC / 2024 IEBC.

When you need this permit
- Change of use or occupancy classification for an existing building or tenant space in Nibley, reviewed under the adopted 2024 IBC Chapter 3 occupancy classifications and, for existing buildings, the 2024 International Existing Building Code (per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a),(i))
- No standalone 'Change of Use' or 'Change of Occupancy' permit type or application is published by Nibley -- the applicable pathway depends on whether the new use is a conditional use under NCC Title 19 zoning standards, whether a new occupant/business license is involved, and whether physical alterations are proposed
- A Conditional Use Permit is required under NCC Title 19 whenever the proposed new use is listed as a conditional use in the applicable zoning district, per the Consolidated Fee Schedule's 'Charges for Development Services' section and Nibley City Code Title 19 zoning standards
- A Commercial & Industrial Business License is required for the new occupant or new commercial use occupying the building, per the Consolidated Fee Schedule's Business Licenses & Fees section
- Where the change of use involves interior alterations, submittal follows the same Building Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit process as other commercial work, per Nibley's official Building Department page general submittal requirements

- 2
Fire Marshal Inspection
Inferred from the Consolidated Fee Schedule's published 'Fire Marshall Inspection Fee' ($45.00) in the Business Licenses & Fees section, applicable when a new business license accompanies the change of use.

Tips
- Nibley has no standalone Change of Use or Change of Occupancy permit or fee -- the governing pathway depends on whether the new use is a conditional use under NCC Title 19 (triggering a $100.00 Conditional Use Permit), whether a new business license is needed, and whether any physical alteration is proposed (triggering the standard Building Permit / Tenant Improvement process).
- A new Commercial & Industrial Business License is required whenever a change of use brings in a new tenant or new use, at $250 (Jan-June) or $125 (July-Dec) plus a $150/year renewal -- confirm with Nibley City whether an existing tenant's license carries over for a like-for-like continuation.
- Conditional Use Permit applications are reviewed by the Planning Commission, which meets only the first and third Thursdays of each month -- factor this into project timing since it is a separate review track from routine building-permit processing.
- Where a change of use does not involve new construction, Nibley's own impact-fee FAQ confirms it is generally treated as a remodel and does not trigger the water, sewer, park, or transportation impact fees that apply to new construction.
- No change-of-use-specific submittal checklist is published separately from the general Building Department and Planning & Zoning pages -- call (435) 752-0431 or email the Planning Department for project-specific scoping before submittal.
