Tips

  • Commercial buildings and any building with three or more dwelling units require an architect and/or engineer seal — confirm this requirement applies before submitting plans for a 3-plex or 4-plex.
  • The Commercial Building Permit Application form has no fee amounts pre-printed; verify current dollar figures directly against Resolution 2024-322 or by calling (435) 722-5001, since several line items (Electrical Repair, Gas line Change out) are not clearly itemized as commercial-specific figures in the published fee schedule.
  • Roosevelt City has no separate 'Change of Use' or 'Certificate of Occupancy' permit type or fee line — neither Resolution 2024-322 (the Consolidated Fee Schedule, covering Building, Subdivision/Planning/Zoning, and Business License fee tables) nor the Building Department page mentions either term. A change in a tenant's use or occupancy classification is handled as part of the standard valuation-based Commercial Building Permit review above. A new business at an existing address separately requires a Business License application that includes a City Building Department Fire and Safety Inspection of the premises, per rooseveltcity.gov/152/Business-Licensing-Home-Occupations. The City's own sources give that application's fee inconsistently — the Business Licensing webpage and Resolution 2024-322's fee table do not agree — so ask the City for the current figure rather than relying on either.
