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.

$100.00
Commercial & Industrial Business License FeeNibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule, 'Business Licenses & Fees' section. Applies when the change of use involves a new tenant or new use requiring its own business license, not a like-for-like continuation by an already-licensed tenant.
Initial (Jan-Dec): $250.00. Initial (July-Dec): $125.00. Renewal (Jan-Dec): $150.00.
Building Permit Fee / Plan Review Fee (if physical alterations are involved)No separate change-of-use fee table is published; where the change of use requires interior alteration, the standard Building Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit fee mechanism applies to the value of that work.

Impact FeesNibley City Planning & Zoning page, 'When does Nibley City charge impact fees?' FAQ: 'Nibley City charges impact fees upon issuance of a building permit for new residential, commercial or industrial construction. Impact fees are not charged for remodels, accessory buildings or additions, unless the addition is large enough to necessitate changing the size of the water meter.' A change of use without new construction is generally treated as a remodel/continuation of existing space and does not itself trigger impact fees.

Inspection process

  1. 1

    Building Final / Occupancy Verification

    Where a change of use involves physical alteration, the Building Official verifies occupancy classification as part of the Building Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit final inspection process (see this file's commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entry); no separately named Change of Use inspection is published.

  2. 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.

No. Nibley does not publish a standalone Change of Use or Change of Occupancy permit type in its Consolidated Fee Schedule or on its Building Department / Planning & Zoning pages. A change of use is instead processed through a Conditional Use Permit ($100.00) if the new use is a conditional use under NCC Title 19 zoning standards, a new Commercial & Industrial Business License if the occupant or use is changing, and/or the standard Building Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit process if physical alterations are involved.

Generally yes, for a new tenant or new commercial/industrial use. Nibley's Consolidated Fee Schedule lists a Commercial & Industrial Business License Initial Fee of $250.00 (January-June) or $125.00 (July-December), with a $150.00 annual renewal fee, separate from any Conditional Use Permit or building permit fee that may also apply.
