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. Direct inspection of the county's own Commercial Building Permit Application (fetched 2026-07-19; PDF text extracted with pdftotext) confirms the single 'COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION' form includes a 'Type of Improvement' checkbox listing 'New Building, Addition, Remodel, Demo, Pre-Manufactured Building, Moving' as options on one combined form — a tenant-improvement/tenant-finish project is filed under this same application (checking 'Remodel' or 'Addition' as applicable), reviewed against the same Commercial Building Plans Checklist, and subject to the same fee/deposit mechanism as new commercial construction. No web search of daggettcounty.gov or general search engines located any Daggett-specific tenant-improvement or tenant-finish document, fee line, or process distinct from this general commercial application.

Fee schedule

Application DepositDaggett County Commercial Building Permit application confirms a nonrefundable deposit is required and credited to 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. EXHAUSTIVE NEW CHASE 2026-07-23 (still unresolved): live-fetched County Code § 8-3-4.M (codelibrary.amlegal.com, HTTP 200) confirms the FINAL fee is legally IBC-valuation-based rather than a flat figure, but is silent on deposit amounts, so does not resolve this specific gap. Targeted WebSearch and a check of all 45 documents in the county's '2018-2019 Ordinances & Resolutions' index (daggettcounty.gov/515) for a Board-of-County-Commissioners fee-schedule resolution (a mechanism confirmed to exist for PUD/subdivision fees per County Code § 8-7-10) turned up nothing applicable — most of those documents are scanned images with no extractable text, and the one readable one found is an unrelated Dutch John utility-rate resolution. No commercial/TI deposit dollar figure was recoverable; 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
1% of permit fee

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.; NOTE: 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 all currently in force statewide (effective July 1, 2026), alongside the 2021 IRC (unchanged) and 2023 NEC (unchanged). This statewide baseline binds counties as well as municipalities per § 15A-1-204. Daggett County's own public-facing permit packets (residential packet, commercial packet) still explicitly cite the 2015 IBC/IRC by section number — confirmed still true on re-check of the county's Commercial Building Permit Plans Checklist PDF on 2026-07-16, which additionally cites '2015 IMC' for mechanical design (IMC § 312) and duct sizing (IMC § 603), a pre-existing lag not previously captured here. This is analogous to other small Utah counties in this corpus (e.g., Cache, Rich) whose public materials lag the statewide-adopted edition. The statewide-adopted edition per § 15A-2-103 is the legally controlling one; Daggett County's own documentation has not been updated to reflect it.; 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 — confirmed by direct text extraction of the county's own PDF application (2026-07-19). Tenant improvement/tenant finish work is filed and reviewed through this single combined commercial process; no distinct tenant-improvement fee, checklist, or application was found.
