Change of Use Permit in Roosevelt, Utah

Roosevelt City has no standalone Change of Use, Change of Occupancy, or Certificate of Occupancy re-issuance permit or fee. A direct, full-text check of the Building Department page, the Consolidated Fee Schedule (Resolution 2024-322, covering the Building Department, Subdivision/Planning/Zoning, and Business License fee tables), and the Planning and Zoning Application (which lists every other discretionary land-use request the City accepts -- Conditional Use Permit, Master Site Plan, Zoning Map Amendment, Lot Line Adjustment, Subdivision actions, PRUD, Time Extension, Petition to Vacate Right-of-Way, etc.) turned up zero mentions of 'change of use' or 'change of occupancy' as a distinct application type. If a use change is accompanied by construction or tenant-finish work, it is processed through the standard Commercial Building Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit process already documented in this file (valuation-based Building Permit Fee table). If no construction accompanies it, the closest governing requirement is a new or updated Roosevelt Business License application, which the City's Business Licensing page states triggers a Fire and Safety Inspection by the Building Department before the license is issued.

Tips

  • Roosevelt City has no separate 'Change of Use' or 'Certificate of Occupancy' permit type or fee line -- confirmed directly against Resolution 2024-322, the Building Department page, and the Planning and Zoning Application (which lists every other discretionary land-use request type the City accepts, with no change-of-use option among them), all re-checked 2026-07-22.
  • A change in a tenant's use or occupancy classification accompanied by construction is processed as part of the standard valuation-based Commercial Building Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit review, per this file's commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entry.
  • A new business at an existing address separately requires a Business License application, which triggers a Fire and Safety Inspection of the premises by the City Building Department -- the fee for this application is given inconsistently across the City's own published sources ($100.00 per the fee resolution vs. $200.00 per the Business Licensing webpage), so confirm the current figure by phone before budgeting.
