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.
• Re-chased 2026-07-20 with additional avenues: full-text search of Pleasant View City Code Title 18 (Zoning, 203 pages, direct PDF fetch) for every certificate-of-occupancy mention -- found only 18.60.020(C) (the general CO requirement already cited) and 18.24.690 (a narrower certificate-of-occupancy provision specific to mobile home parks, Ord. 2010-6), neither of which states a dollar fee; also checked Ordinance 2022-21 (a 2022 Title 18 amendment) and the Consolidated Fee Schedule PDF directly for any occupancy-fee line item -- none found. 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 remains the genuine, fully-chased answer.
• A second re-chase on 2026-07-20 read the entire 19-page Consolidated Fee Schedule (as of July 1, 2026) page-by-page rather than section-searching, covering Subdivisions, Building Permits, Planning & Zoning, Utilities, Animal Impound, Other Fees, and Business License Fees -- confirmed there is still no 'Certificate of Occupancy' line item anywhere in the document. It did surface one adjacent, genuinely distinct fee not previously logged: a 'Zoning Verification Letters' fee of $75.00 under 'Other Fees' -- confirmed via a Pleasant View City Council meeting (August 2024) to have been deliberately added to the Consolidated Fee Schedule as its own new line item ('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 it is charged as, or substitutes for, the certificate of occupancy required by Code 18.60.020(C) -- so it is logged here as a related fee to be aware of, not folded into the CO answer as an invented match. Also checked: North View Fire District (which performs the Fire Department inspection referenced above) for its own published fee schedule -- no District-published inspection-fee document was found via search or its official site (northviewfire.gov); Weber County (Pleasant View's home county) for any county-level building/CO fee applicable to Pleasant View -- none found, consistent with Pleasant View contracting inspections directly to Sunrise Engineering rather than routing through county fee schedules. No new avenue turned up a dedicated, dollar-figure Certificate of Occupancy fee; the Business License route remains the genuine, now twice-chased answer.
