Change of Use Permit in Herriman, Utah

Herriman's Master Fee Schedule publishes a dedicated "Change of Use" line item ($175 per application) under Planning Fees, in the same Conditional Use fee group as Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Amendment. This is a Planning Department zoning-compliance review triggered when the use classification of an existing building or parcel changes (e.g., retail to restaurant, office to daycare) — separate from both the Building Department's Commercial Tenant Improvement permit (required only if physical construction accompanies the use change) and the annual Business License (required for the new business itself). Herriman's own zoning code (HCC 10-5-11(H), Site Plan Amendments) references "change of use" in the context of the Community Development Director confirming a proposed change of use is consistent with uses permitted on the site before allowing site plan alterations.

When you need this permit

  • Any change in the use classification of an existing building or property from one zoning-recognized use to another (e.g., retail to restaurant, office to daycare, warehouse to gym)
  • Applies whether or not accompanying construction/remodel work is performed
  • If the change affects an approved site plan, review proceeds as a Site Plan Amendment under HCC 10-5-11(H), requiring the Community Development Director to find the proposed change of use consistent with uses permitted on the site
  • A separate Herriman business license (herriman.gov/licenses) is required for the new business/use at the location
  • A separate Building Department permit (Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish) is required if the use change involves remodeling, new fixtures, or occupancy-classification-triggering alterations

    Tips

    • Herriman prices "Change of Use" as its own $175 Planning Fee line item, grouped with Conditional Use, Site Plan Review, and Conditional Use Amendment fees — not a Building Department fee.
    • A Change of Use review does not by itself authorize construction — if the new use requires remodeling, fixtures, or an occupancy-classification change, a separate Commercial Tenant Improvement / Building Permit from the Building Department is also required.
    • A Herriman business license is a separate, additional requirement from the Change of Use planning review — budget both the $175 planning fee and the $180 annual commercial business license fee.
    • Check zoning and parking regulations with Planning before signing a lease for a new use, per Herriman's own "Starting a Business" guidance.
    • If your change of use affects an already-approved site plan, expect it to be processed as a Site Plan Amendment under HCC 10-5-11(H), which requires the Community Development Director to confirm the new use is consistent with uses permitted on the site.

    Herriman, Utah has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including amendments to the 2021 Residential Energy Code and Appendix AE & AQ — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria (herriman.gov/building-codes-design-criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16); REMAINS CURRENT, Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment. CORRECTION (2026-07-16): a prior version of this entry read 'Appendix E & Q' — the city's page actually reads 'Appendix AE & AQ,' which correctly maps to Appendix AQ (§ 15A-2-103(1)(c)) and, subject to § 15A-2-104(1), Appendix AE (§ 15A-2-103(1)(k)); corrected to match the source verbatim.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool & Spa Code (ISPSC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), superseding the 2021 ISPSC. Herriman's Building Codes and Design Criteria page still lists 'Residential provisions of the 2021 International Swimming Pool & Spa Code (ISPSC)' verbatim — live-checked 2026-07-16, confirming this one item lags. The statute controls.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h) (no residential/commercial split under current law). Herriman's own page (live-checked 2026-07-16) already lists '2024 Commercial IECC' for the commercial side, but for residential energy it instead cites 'Amendments to the 2021 Residential Energy Code' rather than the unified 2024 IECC — that residential-specific citation is superseded by the single 2024 IECC under current law; preserved as history in the HISTORY entry below.; HISTORY (superseded 7/1/2026, but still shown on Herriman's own page as of live-check 2026-07-16): 'Amendments to the 2021 Residential Energy Code' — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria; no longer has independent authority for residential energy provisions now that Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h) applies a single unsplit 2024 IECC to both residential and commercial construction statewide.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria (live-checked 2026-07-16, unchanged); also Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); REMAINS CURRENT, UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 amendment; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendix C & J — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, verbatim listing '2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendix C & J,' matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a) effective 7/1/2026. This file's prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IBC) was the stale one.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d). This file's prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IPC) was the stale one.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e). This file's prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IMC) was the stale one.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f). This file's prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IFGC) was the stale one.; 2024 International Fire Code (IFC) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16 (the city's own page now reads '2024 International Fire Code (IFC),' up from the 2021 edition in this file's prior entry). NOTE: the IFC is NOT among the codes adopted by Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (Title 15A Chapter 2, State Construction Code) — Utah's Fire Code is separately adopted under Title 15A Chapter 5, State Fire Code Act; the city's own edition choice is left as published, no statutory edition change applies via § 15A-2-103.; Commercial provisions of the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16 (already updated from the 2021 edition in this file's prior entry); collapses into the single unsplit 2024 IECC entry above per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), which no longer distinguishes residential/commercial editions.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (subject to HUD & IRC Appendix E) — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria, live-checked 2026-07-16: the city's own page is ALREADY CURRENT, matching Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i). This file's prior codesAdopted entry (2021 IEBC) was the stale one.; Modular Building Institute (MBI) Standards 1200 and 1205 — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not listed on Herriman's own Building Codes and Design Criteria page (live-checked 2026-07-16), added here per statute.; ICC/ANSI A117.1-2009 and A117.1-2017 — Herriman City Building Codes and Design Criteria; Applicable Utah State Amendments — Utah Code Title 15A; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. Herriman's Building Codes and Design Criteria page (herriman.gov/building-codes-design-criteria) was live-checked 2026-07-16 via real-browser navigation. UNLIKE most sibling cities checked in this pass, Herriman's page is ALREADY CURRENT for IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IEBC/commercial-IECC (all show 2024) — this file's PRIOR codesAdopted data (2021 for all of these) was the stale one, not the city. The only genuine city-side lag found: the ISPSC residential-provisions citation still reads 2021 (should be 2024), and the residential-energy citation still points to 'Amendments to the 2021 Residential Energy Code' rather than the unified 2024 IECC that now governs both residential and commercial per § 15A-2-103(1)(h). IRC and NEC editions are correct on both the statute and the city's page.. Local amendments apply — see the Herriman overview page for the full list.

    Yes. Herriman's Master Fee Schedule (effective July 1, 2026) lists a dedicated "Change of Use" Planning Fee of $175 per application, distinct from the Building Department's Tenant Improvement permit and from the annual Business License. It applies whenever an existing building or property's use classification changes, whether or not construction accompanies it.

    If the new business represents a different zoning-recognized use than the space's prior use, Herriman's Planning Department Change of Use review and fee can apply in addition to the required business license — confirm with Planning at (801) 446-5323 before signing a lease, since the city's own guidance recommends checking zoning before committing to a space.
