Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Nibley, Utah

Required for interior remodel/tenant finish work in an existing commercial building in Nibley — e.g., a new tenant finishing out shell space, or an existing tenant remodeling — regulated by the adopted 2024 IBC and, for existing buildings, the 2024 International Existing Building Code (per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i)). Nibley does not publish a standalone tenant-improvement fee schedule; the same generic valuation-based Building Permit Fee table used for new construction applies, based on the value of the tenant-improvement work. Nibley's Planning & Zoning page states directly that impact fees — which represent the largest cost component of a new commercial building permit — are 'not charged for remodels, accessory buildings or additions, unless the addition is large enough to necessitate changing the size of the water meter,' meaning most tenant-improvement projects owe only the building permit fee, plan review fee, and any required business license, not the full impact-fee stack.

Fee schedule

Building Permit Fee — valuation-based (Nibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule)Nibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule, 'Building Permits & Impact Fees' section, 'Building Permit Fees' table: valuation 'according to building inspector's review' — no separate, lower tenant-improvement-specific fee table is published; valuation is based on the value of the TI work itself, which is typically far lower than new construction.
$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 and up: see the full table in the Commercial Building Permit entry.
Plan Review FeeNibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule, 'Building Permits & Impact Fees' section: 'Plan Review Fee — 0.1% of valuation of the improvement.'
0.1% of valuation of the improvement
Impact Fees (water, sewer, park, transportation)Nibley City Planning & Zoning page, 'When does Nibley City charge impact fees?' FAQ, quoted directly: '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 tenant improvement is a remodel of existing space, so impact fees generally do not apply unless the project requires a larger water meter, in which case the applicable Water Impact Fee tier (see Commercial Building Permit entry) would apply.
Not charged, in the typical case
Commercial & Industrial Business License FeeNibley City Consolidated Fee Schedule, 'Business Licenses & Fees' section. Applies only if the tenant improvement involves a new tenant/new use requiring its own business license, not a like-for-like remodel by an already-licensed tenant.

Tips

  • Tenant improvements are generally exempt from Nibley's impact fees (water, sewer, park, transportation) because they are a remodel of existing space — per the city's own Planning & Zoning FAQ, the only exception is if the project requires upsizing the water meter.
  • There is no separate, lower tenant-improvement fee table — the building permit fee is calculated from the same generic valuation-based table as new construction, just applied to the (typically much lower) value of the interior work.
  • A new business license may be required if the tenant improvement involves a new tenant or new use, at $250 (Jan–June) or $125 (July–Dec) plus $150/year renewal — confirm with Nibley City whether the existing tenant's license carries over.
  • No tenant-improvement-specific submittal checklist or plan review timeline is published separately from the general Building Department page — call (435) 752-0431 or email the Building Department for project-specific scoping before submittal.
