Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Woods Cross, Utah

Required for tenant improvement and remodel work in existing commercial buildings in Woods Cross. Unlike New Residential Buildings, Residential Additions, New Commercial Buildings, Sheds/Detached Structures, Residential Deck, and Porch/Deck/Patio Covers — all of which have their own dedicated city permit handout — Woods Cross does not publish a separate 'Commercial Tenant Improvement' handout; a direct review of the Building Services page's document index (woodscross.gov/194/Building-Services) found no such document. This entry documents the same Table 3-A fee schedule, 65% plan review, and 1% state fee that apply to all non-residential building permits, since the New Commercial Buildings requirements are the closest official guidance available.

Tips

  • Woods Cross does not publish a dedicated 'Commercial Tenant Improvement' or 'Commercial Remodel' permit handout — unlike its New Residential Buildings, Residential Additions, New Commercial Buildings, Sheds/Detached Structures, Residential Deck, and Porch/Deck/Patio Covers handouts, all of which exist as distinct DocumentCenter PDFs on the Building Services page.
  • In the absence of TI-specific guidance, the general Table 3-A valuation schedule, 65% Plan Review Fee, and 1% State Fee documented for the New Commercial Building Permit are the closest officially-published basis for tenant improvement work — confirm project-specific requirements directly with the Building Division (801-292-4421 ext. 2002) before applying.
  • Sewer approvals and fees are handled separately by South Davis Sewer District, not as part of the city building permit, consistent with new commercial construction.

Woods Cross, Utah has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) with Appendix AE and AQ — remains current per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c), unchanged by the 7/1/2026 statewide amendment. Consistent with Woods Cross City's official Building Codes and Design Criteria handout.; 2015 International Residential Code Chapter 11 (residential energy provisions) — superseded: Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h) adopts a single unsplit 2024 IECC statewide as of 7/1/2026 (see the consolidated IECC entry below), so this residential-energy carve-out to the 2015 edition no longer reflects the current statute. Woods Cross's own Building Codes and Design Criteria handout still lists '2015 International residential Code Chapter 11' under 'RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODES' and has not been updated.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); supersedes the 2021 edition. Woods Cross's Building Codes and Design Criteria handout still lists '2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC) with Appendix C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition. Woods Cross's handout labels this 'COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION BUILDING CODES' but § 15A-2-103 does not itself carry a residential/commercial IBC split — the IBC applies per the statute regardless of the handout's section heading. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Building Code with Appendix C and J' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — current statewide from 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Mechanical Code' and has not been updated.; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — per Woods Cross City Building Codes and Design Criteria handout; NOTE: the IFC is adopted under Utah Code Title 15A Chapter 5, not § 15A-2-103 (which governs the IBC/IRC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/NEC/residential-ISPSC/MBI editions in this array) — § 15A-2-103 does not itself adopt or list an IFC edition, so this entry is unaffected by the 7/1/2026 § 15A-2-103 amendment.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); supersedes the 2021 edition. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Plumbing Code' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); supersedes the 2021 edition. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Fuel Gas Code' and has not been updated.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), a single unsplit statewide edition — current statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h). It supersedes both the 2021 edition that Woods Cross's handout lists under 'COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION BUILDING CODES' and the 2015 IRC Chapter 11 residential-energy carve-out listed separately under 'RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODES' (see history entry above); § 15A-2-103 carries no residential/commercial IECC split. Woods Cross's handout has not been updated for either, so work from the statute.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g), and unchanged by the 7/1/2026 amendment (2023 has been the statewide NEC edition since before this cycle). Woods Cross City's Building Codes and Design Criteria handout lists '2020 National Electrical Code,' which is not a valid statewide-adopted edition; the statute controls, so 2023 is the correct edition. Confirm the currently enforced NEC edition with the Building Department before relying on the City's own document for a live project.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); supersedes the 2021 edition. Woods Cross's handout still lists '2021 International Existing Building Code' and has not been updated.; 2009 ICC/ANSI A117.1 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities — per Woods Cross City Building Codes and Design Criteria handout; not governed by § 15A-2-103, which does not itself adopt an ICC/ANSI A117.1 edition.; MBI 1200 and MBI 1205 (manufactured/modular construction standards) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not itemized in Woods Cross's own Building Codes and Design Criteria handout, added here per statute.; All codes above are noted on the city's official handout as 'As adopted by the State of Utah. See Utah Code Title 15A for a complete list of adopted codes and amendments.'; Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), makes IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC and residential ISPSC the 2024 editions statewide; the IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did not change. Woods Cross's own Building Codes and Design Criteria handout has not been updated to match: it still lists 2021 IBC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/ISPSC, a 2015 IRC Chapter 11 residential-energy carve-out, and an incorrect '2020 National Electrical Code'. The statute governs; the City's handout is recorded above as published rather than removed.. Local amendments apply — see the Woods Cross overview page for the full list.

No distinct 'Commercial Tenant Improvement' handout is published on the Woods Cross Building Services page, unlike several of the city's other permit types. Tenant improvement/remodel projects in existing commercial buildings are charged under the same Table 3-A valuation schedule and 65% Plan Review Fee documented for new commercial construction; confirm project-specific requirements with the Building Division (801-292-4421 ext. 2002).
