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 the 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

Read from a 200-dpi render of page 6 of the current FY2026-27 Consolidated Fee Schedule (public copy dated 8-6-2026), 'Charges for Development Services' → 'Planning Review Fees' table, row: 'Conditional Use Permit (No Business License) -- $100.00.' Applicable when the proposed new use is listed as a conditional use under Nibley City Code Title 19 zoning standards. (The superseded FY2024-2025 edition listed this same line item at $50.00; the 2025-2026 and FY2026-27 editions both list $100.00. The commercial-building-permit entry still carried the stale $50.00 and has now been corrected to match.)UNCHANGED.

Nibley 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.Review timeline
Inspection process
- 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 the commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entry); no separately named Change of Use inspection is published.
- 2
Fire Marshal Inspection
Inferred from the Consolidated Fee Schedule's published 'Fire Marshall Inspection Fee (Rate set by the County)' ($65.00 in the FY2026-27 edition, up from $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 $250.00 (fee schedule label: Initial Fee Jan-Dec) or $125.00 (Initial Fee July-Dec, the half-year rate) plus a $150.00/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.
