Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Morgan County, Utah

Required for tenant improvement and tenant finish work in existing commercial buildings throughout Morgan County (unincorporated land and Morgan City alike), served by Morgan County Planning and Development Services. Morgan County does not publish a distinct tenant-improvement permit type or checklist separate from its general Commercial Building Permit process, but the county's Building Permit Fees and Worksheet (Rev 9-2021) DOES publish a distinct Commercial/Industrial addition/remodel deposit tier — $250.00 — under its 'COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL:' section, separate from both the $750.00 new-commercial-construction deposit and the $50.00 residential Home Addition/Remodel deposit. The county's own addition/remodel commercial line item is the appropriate figure for tenant improvement/tenant finish work, which is itself an addition/remodel of existing commercial space, not new construction.

Tips

  • Morgan County's Commercial/Industrial addition/remodel preplan-review deposit is $250.00 (per the Building Permit Fees and Worksheet, Rev 9-2021) — do NOT use the $50 residential Home Addition/Remodel figure for a commercial tenant space; the commercial-specific figure applies instead.
  • the statement is not scoped to residential-only.
  • As with new commercial construction, budget for an engineer stamp and Fire Protection Plan approval where applicable to the tenant-improvement scope.
