Commercial Building Permit in Nibley, Utah

Required for new commercial and industrial construction in Nibley, regulated by the adopted 2024 International Building Code (per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective July 1, 2026). Nibley's official Building Department page states general submittal requirements without a residential/commercial distinction, and the Nibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule uses a single generic 'Building Permit Fee' valuation table (unlike some cities, this table is not separately labeled 'Commercial/Residential,' but nothing on the fee schedule or Building Department page restricts it to residential use). Commercial projects additionally trigger Development Services fees not applicable to single-family residential permits: a Commercial Site Plan Review Fee, a Public Works Inspection Fee for Commercial Development, a commercial-rate Stormwater Inspection Fee, use-specific Transportation Impact Fees, and a Commercial & Industrial Business License.

Fee schedule

Building Permit Fee — valuation-based (Nibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule)
UNCHANGED. All eight valuation tiers compared line by line against 200-dpi renders of pages 7-8 of the FY2026-27 Consolidated Fee Schedule and found identical. Show full citationUNCHANGED. All eight valuation tiers compared line by line against 200-dpi renders of pages 7-8 of the FY2026-27 Consolidated Fee Schedule and found identical. The table is still titled generically 'Building Permit' with valuation 'according to building inspector's review' — the same table cited for the Residential Building Permit entry; the FY2026-27 schedule still publishes no separate commercial-only valuation table.
$1–$500: $24.00 flat. $501–$2,000: $24 for the first $500 plus $3 for each additional $1,000 (or fraction thereof). $2,001–$40,000: $69 for the first $2,000 plus $11 for each additional $1,000 (or fraction thereof). $40,001–$100,000: $487 for the first $40,000 plus $9 for each additional $1,000 (or fraction thereof). $100,001–$500,000: $1,027 for the first $100,000 plus $7 for each additional $1,000 (or fraction thereof). $500,001–$1,000,000: $3,827 for the first $500,000 plus $5 for each additional $1,000 (or fraction thereof). $1,000,001–$5,000,000: $6,327 for the first $1,000,000 plus $3 for each additional $1,000 (or fraction thereof). $5,000,001 and over: $18,327 for the first $5,000,000 plus $1 for each additional $1,000 (or fraction thereof).
Plan Review FeeNibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule, 'Building Permits & Impact Fees' section: 'Plan Review Fee — 0.1% of valuation of the improvement. Additional fees for inspections outside of normal business hours may be charged according to IRC fee schedule.'

Read from a 200-dpi render of page 6 of the FY2026-27 Consolidated Fee Schedule, 'Charges for Development Services' → 'Planning Review Fees' table, row 'Commercial Site Plan Review Fee': '$150/1000 Bldg. Sq. Ft., minimum $900 per building, maximum $3600 per building.' The identical wording also appears on page 6 of the intervening 2025-2026 edition (approved 1-30-2026), so the increase predates FY2026-27 and the figure we published had been stale since at least January 2026. A new per-building minimum of $900 has also been added, which our previous entry did not carry at all.
$150 per 1,000 building sq. ft., minimum $900 per building, maximum $3,600 per building

FY2026-27 Consolidated Fee Schedule, page 8 (read from render), row: 'Stormwater Inspection Fee Commercial — $1500/acre with minimum of $500.' Do not confuse this with the separate 'Stormwater Development Inspection — $750.00 per acre of development' line on page 6 of the same schedule; they are two distinct charges. The residential companion line on page 8 now reads '$350 Per Year' (previously described here as $150/year), so that parenthetical has been corrected.

Conditional Use Permit (No Business License)

Read from a 200-dpi render of page 6 of the FY2026-27 Consolidated Fee Schedule, 'Charges for Development Services' → 'Planning Review Fees' table, row: 'Conditional Use Permit (No Business License) — $100.00.' The 2025-2026 edition (page 6, also rendered) already listed $100.00; the $50.00 we published came from the superseded FY2024-2025 edition and was already inconsistent with the change-of-use-permit entry. Applicable when the proposed commercial use is listed as a conditional use under Nibley City Code Title 19 zoning standards.

Commercial & Industrial Business License Fee

Copied text scrambles this block badly — it pairs the Jan-Dec initial fee with 'Late Fee after February 1 — 10% or $10.00, whichever is greater' and shifts the other two rows down one — so read all three values from the page as published.
Initial (Jan–Dec): $250.00. Initial (July–Dec): $125.00. Renewal (Jan–Dec): $150.00.
Fire Marshall Inspection Fee
$45.00 → $65.00.

The 2025-2026 edition (page 3, also rendered) still listed $45.00 with no parenthetical, so this is a genuine FY2026-27 increase; it corresponds to the 'County Fire Inspections' element of Resolution 26-09 (City Council agenda item 16, 2026-08-06). The new '(Rate set by the County)' qualifier confirms Cache County, not Nibley, sets this rate.

Tips

  • Nibley does not publish a separate 'commercial' building permit fee table — the same generic valuation-based Building Permit Fee table used for residential construction applies to commercial and industrial construction.
  • Commercial projects trigger fees that residential single-family permits do not: a Commercial Site Plan Review Fee ($150/1,000 building sq. ft., min $900 and max $3,600 per building), a Public Works Inspection Fee for Commercial Development (0.0075 × Bond Summary), a commercial-rate Stormwater Inspection Fee ($1,500/acre, min $500 — vs. $350/year for residential), and use-specific Transportation Impact Fees that vary enormously by use (e.g., $164 per 1,000 sq. ft. for warehouse vs. $46,015 per 1,000 sq. ft. for a gas station/convenience store).
  • A Commercial & Industrial Business License is required in addition to the building permit — the fee schedule labels these 'Initial Fee (Jan-Dec)' $250.00, 'Initial Fee (July-Dec)' $125.00 (the half-year rate for licenses taken out in the second half of the calendar year), and 'Renewal Fee (Jan-Dec)' $150.00.
  • Compliance with the separately published 'Nibley City Design Standards for Commercial and Institutional Uses' document is required for commercial and institutional construction, per the Planning & Zoning page.
  • Park Impact Fees in Nibley's fee schedule are specified 'per Single Family Home/ADU' or 'per Multifamily Unit' — no commercial Park Impact Fee line is published, so it is omitted here rather than assumed.

No. Nibley's Consolidated Fee Schedule uses one generic valuation-based 'Building Permit Fee' table for all construction, plus the 0.1% Plan Review Fee. Commercial projects additionally owe a Commercial Site Plan Review Fee, a Public Works Inspection Fee for Commercial Development, a commercial-rate Stormwater Inspection Fee, use-specific Transportation Impact Fees, and Commercial & Industrial Business License fees that residential single-family permits do not.

No commercial-specific timeline is separately published. Nibley's Building Department page states a general 'up to two weeks from the date of submittal' processing guideline for building permits generally; Utah's statutory backstop for expedited plan review (Utah Code § 10-20-909) applies only to one- and two-family dwellings, not commercial construction.

You'll need: Building Permit Application; Engineered/Stamped Plans (two copies, to-scale); Commercial Site Plan; Commercial & Industrial Business License Application. Depending on your project, Nibley may also ask for: SWPPP Compliance Documentation. See the required-documents checklist on this page for details on each.

Nibley requires 3 inspection(s) for a commercial building permit, in order: Building, Electrical, Mechanical & Plumbing (project-specific), Fire Marshal Inspection, Final / Certificate of Occupancy. Schedule each through Nibley City Building Department (Public Works) ((435) 752-0431).
