Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Lindon, Utah

Required for tenant improvement / tenant finish work inside existing commercial buildings in Lindon — interior remodels, buildouts, and occupancy changes for a new or existing tenant space. Lindon's fee schedule bills the Building Permit Application Fee for 'Tenant Improvements' as its own Full Plan Review Fee line item (a separate line from, but the same formula as, new commercial construction), and requires the building owner's signed acknowledgment whenever the applicant is not the building's owner of record.

Tips

  • Lindon's Tenant Improvement Building Permit Application Fee is its own fee-schedule line (billed as the Full Plan Review Fee) — distinct from, but using the same formula as, the 'New Multi-family and Commercial' line used for ground-up construction.
  • A Commercial Building Owner Acknowledgment for a Tenant Improvement is required whenever the applicant (tenant or contractor) is not the building's owner of record — confirm with the Building Department, (801) 785-7687, if unsure whether it applies to your project.
  • No separate Tenant Improvement percentage is published for the Plan Review Fee — Lindon's fee schedule lists only 'Residential' (25%) and 'Commercial' (65%) tiers, so tenant improvements are billed at the Commercial rate.
  • Lindon City has no standalone Change of Use or Change of Occupancy permit. Per the city's own Business License FAQ, every business license application — new location or otherwise — is routed to the Planning Department for zoning/signage compliance and to the Building Department for ordinance compliance and an on-site inspection (10-14 days total), so an occupancy/use change for an existing building is checked through the standard business-license and building-permit process rather than a distinct fee-bearing permit.
