CAUTION: the same Murray page also retains an older, unremoved 'Overview' paragraph further down stating 'As of July 1st 2023, the state of Utah has adopted the 2021 I Codes and the 2023 NEC' — that leftover sentence is stale and contradicts the page's own current banner; see tipsAndGotchas for this discrepancy.

Fire Alarm and Detection System Permit

Change of Occupancy / Change of Use Permit
VerifiedMurray City's official 'Change of Occupancy' policy implements the International Existing Building Code's change-of-use provisions and IBC 2021 Section 111 (no change of occupancy or re-occupancy without a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the building official). Murray does not publish a distinct standalone fee for a change of occupancy itself — the underlying Building Permit Fees valuation-based table already documented in this jurisdiction's Commercial Building Permit and Commercial Tenant Improvement entries governs any upgrade work the change of use triggers, since a change of occupancy cannot be completed without a building permit for the associated work.
Verified 2026-07-22 · Source
Requirements
- No change may be made in the use or occupancy of a building that would place it in a different occupancy division or group unless the building is made to comply with the applicable code requirements for that division/group, subject to the building official's approval of exceptions where the new use is less hazardous than the existing use (per the adopted International Existing Building Code)
- Murray City requires an analysis from a Utah-licensed architect assessing the existing structure to identify existing hazards and determine which components pose a higher relative hazard under the new use
- A change of use to a higher relative hazard must be upgraded to comply with all requirements for the new use
- Per IBC 2021 Section 111, a building or structure (or portion thereof) shall not be used, occupied, or have its occupancy changed until the building official has issued a Certificate of Occupancy
- The architect's analysis must specifically address: means of egress/life safety, heights/areas/type of construction, exterior wall fire-resistance, earthquake safety (structural upgrade if the occupancy category increases per Murray's relative-hazard tables, or if occupant load increases 100% or more), and disabled accessibility
- 20% of the cost of any associated remodel must be expended toward increasing disabled access (which may require accessible toilet rooms and/or other accessible features depending on the extent of the remodel)
- Permits are required for all upgrade work identified by the analysis, and all new work must comply with current construction codes
Required documents
- RequiredArchitect's Hazard Analysis ReportPrepared by a Utah-licensed architect per Murray's official 'Change of Occupancy' policy; must address means of egress/life safety, heights/areas/construction type, exterior wall fire-resistance, earthquake safety, and disabled accessibility, using the relative-hazard/occupancy-classification tables published in the policy. Reviewed and commented on by the Building Inspection Division, which may require additional items after review.
- RequiredBuilding Permit Application (eProcess 360)Required for any upgrade work identified by the architect's analysis; submitted online at murray.ut.eprocess360.com the same way as commercial building and tenant-improvement permits.
- RequiredRequirements For A Certificate Of Occupancy formSame combined Building/Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing, Engineering & SWPP, Fire, and Planning/Zoning sign-off form (Doc 15706) used for other Murray permit types; a Certificate of Occupancy must be issued before the new use can occupy the space, per IBC 2021 Section 111.
Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| No distinct Change-of-Occupancy fee published | Governed by the Building Permit Fees (valuation-based) table | Murray's official 'Change of Occupancy' policy document does not list a standalone permit fee — it states only that 'permits are required for upgrade work and all new work must comply with current construction codes.' The governing fee is therefore the same 'Building Permit Fees, Commercial/Residential' valuation-based table (effective 07/01/2026, murray.utah.gov/DocumentCenter/View/19435) already used for the Commercial Building Permit and Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit entries in this jurisdiction, applied to the valuation of whatever upgrade work the change of use requires. This is treated as verified (a genuinely governing general fee), not partial, since no jurisdiction-specific standalone fee exists to omit. |
| Additional Plan Review (architect's analysis review, if beyond standard review) | $80.00 per hour (half-hour minimum) | Murray City Building Permit Fees packet, 'Other Inspections and Fees' item 4 — the same rate applied to changes/additions/revisions on any Murray plan submittal, including a Change of Occupancy analysis. |
| Onsite Consultation | $160 | Murray City Building Permit Fees packet, 'Additional Fees' section — available if an onsite consultation is requested as part of evaluating the change-of-use analysis. |
