Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Unincorporated Daggett County, Utah

Unincorporated Daggett County does NOT publish a separate tenant-improvement/tenant-finish permit application, fee, or checklist. The county's own Commercial Building Permit Application is a single 'COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION' form whose 'Type of Improvement' checkbox lists 'New Building, Addition, Remodel, Demo, Pre-Manufactured Building, Moving' as the options. File a tenant-improvement or tenant-finish project on that same application, checking 'Remodel' or 'Addition' as applicable; it is reviewed against the same Commercial Building Plans Checklist and subject to the same fee/deposit mechanism as new commercial construction. No Daggett-specific tenant-improvement or tenant-finish document, fee line, or process distinct from this general commercial application is published on daggettcounty.gov.

Fee schedule

Application Deposit
The Daggett County Commercial Building Permit application confirms a nonrefundable deposit is required and credited to the final plan-check total, but does not state the dollar figure for any… Show full citationThe Daggett County Commercial Building Permit application confirms a nonrefundable deposit is required and credited to the final plan-check total, but does not state the dollar figure for any commercial sub-type including tenant improvement — contact Planning & Zoning (435-784-3218 ext. 230) to confirm. County Code § 8-3-4.M (codelibrary.amlegal.com) confirms the FINAL fee is legally IBC-valuation-based rather than a flat figure, but is silent on deposit amounts. A Board-of-County-Commissioners fee-schedule resolution is the mechanism that would set such a figure (confirmed to exist for PUD/subdivision fees per County Code § 8-7-10), but no applicable resolution appears among the 45 documents in the county's '2018-2019 Ordinances & Resolutions' index (daggettcounty.gov/515) — most of those documents are scanned images, and the one readable resolution is an unrelated Dutch John utility-rate resolution. No commercial/TI deposit dollar figure is published; this fee remains partial.
Not separately published for commercial or tenant-improvement work (residential deposit schedule is $200 accessory / $600 dwelling; no commercial or TI-specific dollar figure is stated on the public application form)
State SurchargeConsistent with the surcharge stated on the county's residential permit packet; the commercial application does not separately restate this but no evidence it differs for tenant-improvement work

Tips

  • There is no separate tenant-improvement or tenant-finish application in unincorporated Daggett County — use the same Commercial Building Permit Application and check 'Remodel' or 'Addition' under 'Type of Improvement.'
  • Commercial plans require sign-off from BOTH the Fire Chief and the Planning & Zoning Department before a permit is issued, even for interior-only tenant-finish scopes — budget extra time for the fire review step.
  • The county's own Commercial Building Plans Checklist states it is 'not all-inclusive' and that individual projects may require different information, so a tenant-finish project's document list will typically be a subset of the full new-construction checklist (e.g., no footing/foundation detail needed for a purely interior remodel).

Unincorporated Daggett County, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — legally controlling in unincorporated Daggett County per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), in force statewide since July 1, 2026 and binding on counties per § 15A-1-204. HISTORY / COUNTY LAG: Daggett County's own Commercial Building Permit plans checklist still expressly cites the long-superseded 2015 IBC by section ('Type of construction (required) IBC 2015 Chapter 6', 'Occupancy type (required) IBC 2015 Chapter 3', 'Occupant load (required) IBC 2015 Section 1004') — re-confirmed by direct PDF fetch 2026-07-16; see NOTE below.; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendix AQ — legally controlling in unincorporated Daggett County per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) and (1)(c); the IRC edition was NOT changed by the July 1, 2026 statewide amendment and remains the 2021 edition. HISTORY / COUNTY LAG: Daggett County's own Residential Building Permit packet still expressly cites the long-superseded 2015 IRC ('SECTION R109 OF THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE INSPECTION DURING CONSTRUCTION', with the full R109.1 series inspection text reproduced in the county's own packet) — see NOTE below.; Utah Code § 15A-2-103 sets the statewide-adopted baseline: the 2024 editions of the IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC and IEBC, plus the residential provisions of the 2024 ISPSC, are in force statewide effective July 1, 2026, alongside the 2021 IRC and the 2023 NEC (both unchanged). Under § 15A-1-204 this baseline binds counties as well as municipalities. Daggett County's own public permit packets — residential and commercial — still cite the 2015 IBC/IRC by section number, and the Commercial Building Permit Plans Checklist also cites the 2015 IMC for mechanical design (IMC § 312) and duct sizing (IMC § 603). The statewide edition under § 15A-2-103 is the legally controlling one, so design to it and expect the county's handouts to reference the older editions.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); statewide in force (Daggett County's own permit forms do not name a specific NEC edition). Local amendments apply — see the Unincorporated Daggett County overview page for the full list.

No. The county's Commercial Building Permit Application itself lists 'Remodel' and 'Addition' as options under 'Type of Improvement' on the same form used for new commercial construction. Tenant improvement / tenant finish work is filed and reviewed through this single combined commercial process; the county publishes no distinct tenant-improvement fee, checklist, or application.
