Change of Location/Occupancy Business License in Heber City, Utah

Required when an existing business changes its physical location within Heber City, or when a new business moves into an existing building or space without new construction — separate from a Business License Application for a brand-new business at a location that has never been licensed. Submitted online through the city's Civic Review portal. The application requires a Building/Space Evaluation, Fire Inspection Requirements review, and Health Department Requirements review, and specifically asks the applicant to describe both the new and previous use of the building or space.

Tips

  • This is distinct from new construction: it applies to an existing building or space where only the use/occupant is changing, with no active building permit. If the new use also triggers structural, MEP, or life-safety work, that work still requires a separate Commercial Tenant Improvement or Commercial Building Permit.
  • The application explicitly asks the applicant to describe both the new use and the previous use of the building or space — have this comparison ready before starting.
  • Heber City's Consolidated Fee Schedule does not list a standalone dollar figure for this application; it is billed under the same category-based Business License Fees table used for any new business license (e.g. Restaurants, General Services, Automotive Service and Repair).
