Change of Use Permit in Coalville, Utah
Coalville City has no standalone Change of Use, Change of Occupancy, or Certificate of Occupancy re-issuance permit or fee. Coalville's own Fee Schedule (Resolution 2025-1), in the 'Provisions Applicable to Community Development, Engineering, Public Works, and Building Fees' section (Double Fees provision), defines '"Development Activity" as used herein includes any of the following activities requiring a permit,' and its first listed example is 'a. Change in use.' This confirms Coalville's own code treats a change in use as a permit-triggering activity, but the Fee Schedule publishes no distinct named fee line item for it: if the change of use is accompanied by construction or tenant-finish work, it is processed and fee'd through the standard Building Permit / Commercial Tenant Improvement process (valuation-based Building Permit Fee plus Plan Review Fee, per this file's commercial-building-permit and commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entries); if no construction accompanies the use change, the only applicable published figure is the Fee Schedule's Building Permit Fees catch-all, item 8(c): 'Inspections and permits for which no fee specifically indicated: $100.'

When you need this permit
- A change in the use or occupancy classification of an existing structure or site in Coalville is defined as a 'Development Activity' requiring a permit, per Coalville City Fee Schedule (Resolution 2025-1), Provisions Applicable to Community Development, Engineering, Public Works, and Building Fees, Development Activity definition, item (a) 'Change in use'
- Planning and Zoning sign-off is required for a use/occupancy change, consistent with Coalville's general permit sign-off requirement; if construction or tenant-finish work accompanies the use change, Public Works and North Summit Fire District sign-offs are also required, per the standard Building Permit Application approval blocks
- No City-published Change of Use-specific application form, submittal checklist, or fee schedule line item exists separate from the general Building Permit Application and Development Activity framework
- A business changing operations or use at a Coalville location may separately need to update its Coalville Business License, since business licenses are 'perpetual and only require a $50 annual renewal fee unless the license has been revoked by the City, or the business operation has changed from the original approval,' per the Fee Schedule's Business License Fees section -- a related but distinct administrative step from the building change-of-use permit itself

Fee schedule
Development Activity Permit Requirement (Change in Use)Coalville City Fee Schedule (Resolution 2025-1), 'Provisions Applicable to Community Development, Engineering, Public Works, and Building Fees' section, Development Activity definition: '"Development Activity" as used herein includes any of the following activities requiring a permit: a. Change in use...' This confirms a change of use is a permit-triggering Development Activity under the City's own fee schedule, but no dollar figure is published for it by name anywhere in the schedule.
No distinct fee line item published
Building Permit Fee (valuation-based) -- applies only if construction/alteration accompanies the use changeCoalville City Fee Schedule, item 2 fee table and item 1(c) remodel valuation provision -- no reduced or separate rate applies specifically to change-of-use construction; it is billed identically to any other remodel/tenant-finish project.
Same valuation-based table as the commercial-building-permit and commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entries (e.g., $1,181 for the first $100,000 of valuation plus $6.50 per additional $1,000, to $500,000); remodel/tenant-finish valuation is 50% of the applicable sq ft rate per Fee Schedule item 1(c)
Other Inspections and Fees -- catch-all (applies if no construction accompanies the use change)Coalville City Fee Schedule (Resolution 2025-1), 'BUILDING PERMIT FEES' section, item 8(c): 'Inspections and permits for which no fee specifically indicated: $100.' This is the only published figure that could apply to a pure administrative change of use involving no construction; confirm applicability directly with the Building Official before relying on it.

Tips
- Coalville's Fee Schedule (Resolution 2025-1) explicitly names 'Change in use' as a permit-triggering 'Development Activity' (in the Double Fees provision, which doubles permit fees for anyone who commences such activity before obtaining the necessary permit) -- but this is a definitional cross-reference, not a standalone fee-schedule line item; the schedule provides no dedicated Change of Use dollar amount.
- This matches and confirms the honest determination already documented in this file's commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entry: 'Coalville has no standalone Change of Use, Change of Occupancy, or existing-building Certificate of Occupancy re-issuance permit or fee distinct from this Tenant Improvement / Building Permit process.'
- If a business's use or operations change at a Coalville location, a new or updated Coalville Business License filing may also be required (per the Fee Schedule's Business License section) -- a separate administrative step from the physical change-of-use building permit itself.
- Confirm with the Building Official (435-640-1799) or Community Development how a pure administrative change of use with no construction would be processed and fee'd, since no distinct published pathway or amount exists for that scenario.

Coalville's Fee Schedule (Res. 2025-1, Building Permit Fees section) references the IRC directly for residential structures.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — current statewide-adopted edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition.

The 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC were unaffected and remain in force. This file's codesAdopted list does not carry separate line items for the International Fuel Gas Code, International Existing Building Code, or International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (residential provisions) — all three are also statewide-adopted per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f)/(i)/(n) at the 2024 edition effective 2026-07-01, but no Coalville-specific citation for them was located this session; this is a pre-existing completeness gap in this file, not addressed further here.. Local amendments apply — see the Coalville overview page for the full list.
