Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Kaysville, Utah

Required for interior tenant-finish and remodel work within an existing commercial building in Kaysville. Kaysville's Consolidated Fee Schedule publishes a distinct, lower-cost remodel line item for residential structures ('Existing Residential Structure (Remodels)' at $50 + $10/$1,000 valuation) but does NOT publish an equivalent discounted line for commercial remodels/tenant finish — commercial tenant-improvement work is billed under the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee table and 55% commercial Plan Check Fee as new commercial construction.

Fee schedule

Building Permit Fee — valuation-based (same table as new commercial construction)Kaysville City Consolidated Fee Schedule, Community Development > Building Permit Fees, live browser render verified directly 2026-07-19. The schedule publishes a discrete, lower 'Existing Residential Structure (Remodels)' line ($50.00 flat, plus $10.00 per $1,000 of valuation) for residential remodels, but NO equivalent discounted line for commercial remodel/tenant-improvement work — commercial tenant finish falls back to the general valuation table.
Same tiered table as new commercial construction — e.g., $5,608.75 plus $3.65 per additional $1,000 over $1,000,000

Tips

  • Kaysville discounts RESIDENTIAL remodels with a dedicated low-cost fee line ('Existing Residential Structure (Remodels)' — $50 flat plus $10/$1,000 valuation), but publishes no equivalent commercial tenant-improvement discount — commercial tenant finish is billed at full new-construction rates (valuation table + 55% plan check).
  • The $1,000 Commercial Plan Review Deposit applies to tenant-improvement submittals just as it does to new commercial construction — there is no reduced deposit for interior-only remodel work.
  • If your tenant-finish layout is identical to a previously-approved plan on file, ask about the 10% duplicate-plan-review rate instead of the full plan check fee.

NOTE: the IFC is NOT among the codes adopted by Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (which governs Title 15A Chapter 2, State Construction Code) — Utah's Fire Code is separately adopted under Title 15A Chapter 5, State Fire Code Act; left as published by the City, no statutory edition change applies via § 15A-2-103; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — REMAINS CURRENT, Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment; Kaysville Design Criteria already correctly reflects 2023; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized in Kaysville's own Design Criteria page or elsewhere on kaysville.gov, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, supersedes the 2021 edition referenced in this file's Residential Pool Permit entry, which had not been updated as of 2026-07-16; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. Kaysville's Design Criteria page (kaysville.gov/750/Design-Criteria) was live-checked 2026-07-16 and is ALREADY CORRECT — it states verbatim 'The 2021 IRC as adopted by the State of Utah Title 15A' for residential, and 'The 2024 IBC, IMC, IFC, IPC, IFGC, IECC, Etc, and the 2023 NEC as adopted by the State of Utah' for commercial (Kaysville does not separately itemize IEBC or ISPSC on this page). This file's earlier codesAdopted entries (rev. pre-2026-07-16) were stale relative to Kaysville's own already-updated page; both are now aligned to 2024/2021/2023 per statute. The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 citation in the sources array below has been updated to the current in-force version link. Local amendments apply — see the Kaysville overview page for the full list.

No. Kaysville's Consolidated Fee Schedule applies the same valuation table and 55% commercial plan-check rate to both. A 10% duplicate-plan-review rate is available only if the layout matches a previously-approved identical plan.
