Change of Use / Commercial-Industrial Tenant Change in Grantsville, Utah

Grantsville City has no permit literally titled 'Change of Use,' 'Change of Occupancy,' or 'Certificate of Occupancy' for an existing building, but its current Zoning Fees schedule publishes a distinct fee for exactly this scenario -- 'Commercial/Industrial Tenant Change Application,' $300.00 per application (grantsville.municipalcodeonline.com/book/print?type=fees&name=Zoning_Fees, live-checked 2026-07-21; up from $100.00 per application in the version of the table shown in the Ordinance 2024-39 Record of Ordinance Adoption, adopted 12/4/2024, utah.gov/pmn/files/1205653.pdf) -- processed through the same Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application and review workflow the city uses for all conditional land uses. Per Grantsville's own Community & Economic Development Department page on Conditional Use Permits, an applicant must first check the Land Use and Management Code table for the property's zoning district; if the new use is 'Conditional' (rather than 'Permitted') for that zone, the CUP application is reviewed across Public Works, Building, Fire, and Police departments over a minimum 3-week timeline, with public notice letters sent to owners within 500 feet (15-day response window), before the Zoning Administrator approves, denies, or refers the request to the Planning Commission.

    Tips

    • Grantsville has no standalone 'Change of Use' or 'Certificate of Occupancy' permit -- a new tenant or use in an existing commercial or industrial building is instead screened through the same Conditional Use Permit process used for any conditional land use, with a distinct 'Commercial/Industrial Tenant Change Application' fee line ($300.00 per application) in the CUP portion of the current Zoning Fees table.
    • The Commercial/Industrial Tenant Change Application fee ($300.00) differs from the general CUP fee tiers ($100.00 administrative / $200.00 Planning Commission) published in the same table -- confirm with Community & Economic Development, (435) 884-3411, which fee applies to a specific scenario.
    • The Fire Department is one of four departments (alongside Public Works, Building, and Police) that reviews a CUP application under Grantsville's cross-departmental process, per the city's own Conditional Use Permits page.
    • Unlike some peer Utah cities, Grantsville's business-licensing process (checked directly: FAQ and New Businesses pages) does not itself require a fire safety inspection as a licensing gate -- the fire-review step for a use change happens during CUP review, not at business-license issuance.
    • If your new use requires interior construction or MEP changes, that additional work triggers the separate Commercial Building Permit / Tenant Improvement process -- see the commercial-tenant-improvement-permit entry.

Utah's amendment removes the mandatory residential fire-sprinkler requirement (Utah Code § 15A-3-103).; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not separately itemized on Grantsville's own Building Department page, added here per statute.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); not itemized on Grantsville's own Building Department page or FAQ, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition, with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here. Referenced generically (without an edition year) in Grantsville's own New Residential Building Submittal Checklist ('Information showing compliance from the International Energy Conservation Code as amended by the State of Utah').; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — CORRECTED: this file previously listed '2020 NEC,' which was already stale before the 7/1/2026 statewide transition (Utah has required the 2023 NEC statewide since well before this file's original verification date). Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) confirms 2023 NEC as the current and unchanged edition; no Grantsville-specific electrical code edition was found published on the city's own pages to source the earlier '2020' figure.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized on Grantsville's own Building Department page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized on Grantsville's own Building Department page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Grantsville City Code Title 5, 'Building Regulations' — local building-permit administration ordinance, viewable at grantsville.municipalcodeonline.com (linked directly from the city's own Building Department page as 'City Building Code').; 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, corrected from an erroneous '2020' figure above) did NOT change. Grantsville's Building Department page (grantsvilleut.gov/departments/building/index.php) was live-checked 2026-07-16 and does not itemize specific code edition years at all — it links generically to 'Utah Building Code,' so no page-vs-statute lag could be detected; the statute is cited directly as governing throughout.. Local amendments apply — see the Grantsville overview page for the full list.

    Not by that name. A new tenant or change of use in an existing commercial or industrial building is screened through Grantsville's Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process if the new use is 'Conditional' rather than 'Permitted' in the property's zone. The city's current Zoning Fees schedule publishes a distinct 'Commercial/Industrial Tenant Change Application' fee of $300.00 per application for this scenario, separate from the general CUP fee tiers ($100.00 administrative / $200.00 Planning Commission).
