Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Midvale, Utah

Required for commercial remodel and tenant-improvement work in Midvale, billed under the same valuation-based Building Permit Fees table as new commercial construction (Ordinance 2026-O-14). The city's Building & Safety page references a separate 'Remodel Construction Completion Checklist (Certificate of Occupancy)' for tenant-improvement and remodel closeout, but that link is broken on the city's own site and the document is not reachable at the expected path either. The general Commercial Construction Completion Checklist requirements are used here as the closest published equivalent; ask the city to send the remodel-specific checklist directly if your project needs it.

Tips

  • Midvale references a separate 'Remodel Construction Completion Checklist' for tenant-improvement closeout on its Building & Safety page, but the linked PDF is unreachable — confirm the current closeout requirements directly with Building & Safety, (801) 567-7200 ext. 1016.
  • The same valuation-based Building Permit Fees table applies to tenant improvement as to new commercial construction — no discounted TI tier is published.
  • Midvale operates its own Building & Safety Division for permitting (confirmed 2026-08-02: Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District's Building Services, which contracts to SAFEbuilt, serves only Magna, Kearns, White City, Emigration Canyon, Copperton, Brighton, and unincorporated Salt Lake County — Midvale is not among them), so all permit contacts above are Midvale City staff, not a county or third-party plan-review firm.
  • A pre-construction meeting 'is required on all new commercial buildings, apartments/townhouses, twin homes, and may be required on some remodels' — verbatim language re-confirmed live on the Building & Safety page 2026-08-02.
