Certificate of Occupancy / Change of Use (Business License Route) in Pleasant View, Utah

Tips

• Pleasant View does not publish a standalone 'Change of Use Permit' or a separately-priced Certificate of Occupancy fee. The legal requirement is real -- City Code Section 18.60.020(C) requires a certificate of occupancy whenever a building 'shall be used or changed in use,' including maintaining, renewing, changing, or extending a nonconforming use -- but in practice it is verified through the Business License process, priced per license type (40.00 to 65.00 dollars) rather than through a dedicated change-of-use application.
• The Safety Inspection (performed by Sunrise Engineering, the City's outsourced building inspector) is marked 'new applicants only' on the official Business License Application -- this is the practical building-compliance check that lines up with a change-of-use/new-occupant scenario, distinct from the Fire Department inspection required more broadly.
• Physical inspections in Pleasant View are outsourced to Sunrise Engineering (1-800-560-6151) rather than performed by in-house City staff -- the same contractor used for the City's regular building permit inspections.
• Across the full text of Pleasant View City Code Title 18 (Zoning, 203 pages), the only certificate-of-occupancy provisions are 18.60.020(C) (the general CO requirement cited above) and 18.24.690 (a narrower certificate-of-occupancy provision specific to mobile home parks, Ord. 2010-6) — neither states a dollar fee; Ordinance 2022-21 (a 2022 Title 18 amendment) and the Consolidated Fee Schedule likewise carry no occupancy-fee line item. No dedicated, separately-priced Certificate of Occupancy fee exists anywhere in Pleasant View's published code or fee schedule; the Business License route documented above is the operative answer.
• The City's 19-page Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) — covering Subdivisions, Building Permits, Planning & Zoning, Utilities, Animal Impound, Other Fees, and Business License Fees — contains no 'Certificate of Occupancy' line item anywhere in the document. One adjacent, genuinely distinct fee does exist: a 'Zoning Verification Letters' fee of $75.00 under 'Other Fees,' deliberately added to the Consolidated Fee Schedule as its own line item by City Council action in August 2024 ('possible action to amend the Consolidated Fee Schedule by adding fees for Zoning Verification Letter Requests'). A Zoning Verification Letter is a distinct administrative product (used to confirm a property's zoning designation/permitted use, typically for lenders, title companies, or a prospective tenant), and the record does not establish that it is charged as, or substitutes for, the certificate of occupancy required by Code 18.60.020(C) — so it is a related fee to be aware of, not the CO fee. North View Fire District (which performs the Fire Department inspection referenced above) publishes no inspection-fee document of its own, either through search or its official site (northviewfire.gov), and Weber County (Pleasant View's home county) imposes no county-level building/CO fee applicable to Pleasant View — consistent with Pleasant View contracting inspections directly to Sunrise Engineering rather than routing through county fee schedules. There is no dedicated, dollar-figure Certificate of Occupancy fee; the Business License route is the governing answer.
