Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit in Holladay, Utah
Required for commercial tenant improvement work in Holladay. The city's own Construction Submittal Requirements page lists 'Commercial tenant improvement' as its own plan-submittal category, alongside 'New commercial or multi-family building,' under a 'Commercial and multi-family plans' heading. As with the Commercial Building Permit, fees are assessed using the same Based-on-Valuation (BOV) formula (1997 Uniform Administrative Code Table 3-A) rather than a published flat-dollar table — no tenant-improvement-specific dollar figures are published.

Tips
- Holladay's own Construction Submittal Requirements page recognizes 'Commercial tenant improvement' as a distinct plan category from new commercial/multi-family construction, but — unlike several residential categories — does not link a dedicated checklist PDF for it as of 2026-07-19.
- No public dollar-figure fee table exists for commercial tenant improvement permits — call the Building Division (801-527-3890) for a project-specific quote.
- Applications are online-only via the city's iWorq portal — plans too large for the portal must be emailed directly to the permits team.
- Holladay has no standalone Change of Use or Change of Occupancy permit. The city's Business Licensing page states plainly: if a business has 'a change of location to a new building or change of occupancy at a building, the proper building permits must be obtained and approved before the application for a business license may be obtained and granted' — meaning a change of occupancy is routed through this same commercial building/tenant-improvement permit review, not a separate process. Separately, a $35 'Change of Location Form' fee exists, but it is a business-license fee (paid to Economic Development, not the Building Division) for updating the license record itself.
