Commercial Tenant Improvement / Tenant Finish Permit in Hurricane, Utah

Required for tenant improvement and tenant finish work in existing commercial buildings in Hurricane. Hurricane does not publish a dedicated tenant-improvement checklist, application category, or TI-specific valuation method: neither the full text of Resolution 2025-39, the full Consolidated Fee Schedule (View/2678), the full 'Submitting a Building Permit' guide (View/2059), nor the Building Department page's own Forms list (17 forms, none tenant-improvement-related) contains a tenant-improvement, tenant-finish, remodel, alteration, or change-of-occupancy line item or document of any kind — a genuine gap in Hurricane's own published materials. Resolution 2025-39's operative text ('Building permit fees shall be calculated using [Table AL101.1]... within Hurricane City') is unrestricted in scope and not limited to new construction, so the general fee mechanism does apply as the only available framework — but Exhibit B is explicitly titled 'Square Foot Construction Cost' and provides a valuation method designed for whole-building new construction, with no stated method for valuing alteration/tenant-finish work on existing space (i.e., whether TI valuation uses this same per-square-foot new-construction rate applied to the finished square footage, or the contractor's actual declared project cost). That specific valuation question remains unresolved in the City's published materials.

Fee schedule

Building Permit Fee — valuation-based (2021 IRC Table AL101.1), fee-table mechanism confirmed; valuation method for TI work unconfirmed
The Consolidated Fee Schedule (View/2678, 5 pages) carries no line items at all in its own 'Building Fees' section and instead states 'For current fee information please visit [the Building… Show full citationThe Consolidated Fee Schedule (View/2678, 5 pages) carries no line items at all in its own 'Building Fees' section and instead states 'For current fee information please visit [the Building Department page]' — Resolution 2025-39 is the sole published building-permit fee authority for every building-permit subtype in Hurricane, not just TI. Resolution 2025-39's operative clause ('Building permit fees shall be calculated using [Table AL101.1]... within Hurricane City') is unrestricted in scope, so the Table AL101.1 fee-lookup mechanism applies to TI work. What remains unsettled is the valuation INPUT: Exhibit B ('SQUARE FOOT CONSTRUCTION COST') is structured for computing whole-building new-construction valuation by occupancy type and does not publish a distinct method (e.g., percentage-of-new-construction-rate, or actual declared cost) for alteration/tenant-finish work on existing structures — unlike, e.g., Murray City's published 'Mall Tenant Finish' supplemental rate. Confirm the applicable TI valuation method with the Building Department, (435) 635-2811.
Same tiered schedule as the Commercial Building Permit (Resolution 2025-39, Exhibit A), applied to a project valuation whose exact TI computation method is unconfirmed

Tips

  • Hurricane does not publish a dedicated tenant-improvement checklist or fee line distinct from new commercial construction — confirm document requirements and the applicable valuation method directly with the Building Department, (435) 635-2811, before submitting.
  • Because the general commercial 'Table AL101.1 fee scale + Exhibit B occupancy valuation' mechanism is the only published fee framework for commercial work of any kind in Hurricane, it is the best available reference point for estimating a TI permit fee, but it is not confirmed as the exact TI method.
  • Hurricane's published materials (Resolution 2025-39, the Consolidated Fee Schedule, the Submitting a Building Permit guide, and the Building Department page's full Forms list) leave one narrow question unanswered: how TI/alteration valuation is computed (same per-sq-ft new-construction rate vs. actual declared cost). The fee-table mechanism itself and the 21-business-day commercial review figure are both well-supported as applying generally to any commercial-category building permit, TI included.
  • Hurricane City has no separate, published Change of Use or Change of Occupancy permit with its own fee. The city's own Business License Application (form PDF, DocumentCenter/View/2778) includes an office-use-only checklist with independent 'New Construction: yes/no', 'Remodel: yes/no', 'Building Permit: yes/no', and 'Certificate of Occupancy or Tenant Improvement inspection required: yes/no' fields — meaning a business license for an existing building can still trigger a CO/TI-inspection check even with no active building permit — but this is folded into the standard $75.00 Business License Application ($25.00 application + $50.00 license) rather than billed or processed as its own permit.

Hurricane, Utah has adopted: 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment. Matches Hurricane City's official Building Department page, which still displays the older 'EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023' banner text but lists the correct, still-current 2021 IRC.; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page, added here per statute.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), superseding the 2021 IBC. Hurricane's own Building Department page, live-checked 2026-07-16, still displays the 'EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023' banner listing the 2021 IBC — the city's page has NOT been updated to reflect the 7/1/2026 statewide flip. The statute controls regardless of the city page's lag. Note: Resolution 2025-39 Exhibit B already separately used a '2024 IBC Modified' Square Foot Construction Cost table for fee-valuation purposes (see entry below) — that fee-valuation reference now also happens to match the statute-current adopted edition, though it was adopted for valuation purposes only, not as a wholesale code-adoption statement.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page (live-checked 2026-07-16, which lists only IRC/IBC/NEC), added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page, added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page, added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — statewide-mandatory edition per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); UNCHANGED by the 7/1/2026 amendment (the 2023 NEC baseline predates this code cycle). Hurricane's own Building Department page lists '2020 National Electric Code' under its 'EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023' banner — one edition behind the statewide-mandatory floor, confirmed still unchanged via live-check 2026-07-16. Per Utah Code § 15A-1-204 (statewide-mandatory construction code), the 2023 NEC governs regardless of the city's own page.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective 7/1/2026 (no residential/commercial split under current law); not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page, and listed here per statute. The city's Building Department forms index does offer a downloadable 'IRC_IECC Code Compliance (PDF)' form — check that form itself for the IECC edition it references.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page, added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), effective 7/1/2026; not itemized on Hurricane's own Building Department page, added here per statute since the city's own materials omit it entirely.; Modular Building Institute (MBI) Standards 1200 and 1205 — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o); not listed on Hurricane's own Building Department page, added here per statute.; 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) did NOT change. Hurricane's Building Department page (cityofhurricane.com/161/Building-Department) was live-checked 2026-07-16 via real-browser navigation and confirmed still displaying its 'EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023' banner listing only 2021 IRC / 2021 IBC / 2020 National Electric Code — it does not itemize IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, IEBC, or ISPSC at all, and has not been updated for the 7/1/2026 statewide flip. The statewide statute controls over the city's un-updated page; codes the city omits entirely are added above per statute since they apply statewide regardless of local publication.. Local amendments apply — see the Hurricane overview page for the full list.
