Change of Use / Change of Occupancy Permit in Enoch City, Utah

Enoch City does not publish a standalone Change of Use or Change of Occupancy permit. The Building Department's full application set, per the city's own Applications & Forms page (enochcityut.gov/applications--forms.html), is: Residential Permit, Commercial Building Permit, 'Other' Building Permit, Drainage Change Permit, Special Inspection Form, Solar Permit, Cargo Storage Container, and Temporary RV Permit — none titled 'Change of Use.' A change in use or occupant of a commercial space in Enoch City is instead administered through the city's Commercial Business License process: the official 'Application for a Business License in a Commercial Zone' form requires a 'Building Inspector Approval Signature' before a new or renewed commercial business license is issued, priced at the flat $75.00 fee published in Fee Schedule Section 2.B ('Commercial Businesses located in appropriate zoned area — $75.00'). Where a change of use also involves construction, tenant-finish work, or building-systems modification, the project is instead processed through Enoch's existing Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit (both already documented elsewhere in this file), priced under the same UBC-valuation Building Permit Fee (Fee Schedule Section 4.A) — no distinct change-of-use fee line exists anywhere in the city's 9-chapter Fee Schedule.

Inspection process

  1. 1

    Building Inspector Site Review (Business License Approval)

    A Building Inspector Approval Signature is required directly on the Application for a Business License in a Commercial Zone before the license is issued, confirming the space is fit for the proposed use; no separate fee-bearing inspection beyond this sign-off is published. If construction accompanies the change of use, the standard Commercial Building Permit or Tenant Improvement inspection sequence also applies (see those entries in this file).

Tips

  • Enoch City's actual 'change of use' gate for a commercial tenant is the annual $75 Commercial Business License (Fee Schedule Section 2.B), not a construction permit — but if the new use requires interior alterations, systems changes, or a different occupancy classification, it also requires a Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit (see those entries in this file).
  • The Application for a Business License in a Commercial Zone also asks whether the business generates wastewater beyond restroom use; if so, CCWWTF Pretreatment Coordinator sign-off (435-867-9426) is required in addition to the Building Inspector's approval signature.
  • Business licenses are valid for one year from the date issued and must be renewed annually; a $10.00 penalty applies if renewal payment is more than 30 days late.

Enoch City, Utah has adopted: Uniform Building Code (UBC) valuation table — Enoch City's own Fee Schedule (hosting.civiclinq.com/enochcity/books/enoch-city-fee-schedule/4.A) states: 'Building permit fees are set by the Uniform Building Code.' This is the same 1997 UBC Table 1-A valuation-fee structure referenced by other small Utah cities in this corpus (e.g. Provo); Enoch's own published fee-schedule language uses 'Uniform Building Code' rather than citing a specific IBC/IRC edition year.; Statewide baseline per Utah Code § 15A-2-103: Utah's currently adopted statewide construction codes — the 2024 IBC (incl. Appendices C and J), 2024 IPC, 2024 IMC, 2024 IFGC, 2024 IECC, and 2024 IEBC (all in force since July 1, 2026, superseding the 2021 editions), alongside the unchanged 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC — apply to Enoch City by default absent a documented independent city-level code-adoption ordinance; Enoch City's own website does not publish a distinct 'Current Adopted Codes' page listing specific ICC edition years (unlike Cedar City's dedicated codes page), so the state baseline is reported here rather than invented city-specific edition years.. Local amendments apply — see the Enoch City overview page for the full list.

No standalone change-of-use permit exists. A change in use or occupant of a commercial space is verified through the city's Commercial Business License process — the Application for a Business License in a Commercial Zone requires a Building Inspector Approval Signature before the $75.00 license (Fee Schedule Section 2.B) is issued. If the new use requires construction, tenant-finish work, or a building-systems modification, it also requires the separate Commercial Building Permit or Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit documented elsewhere in this file.
