Taylorsville, UT Accessory Structures: ADU Owner Occupancy (2026)

Section 13.11.010(B)(13) of the Taylorsville City Code makes owner occupancy a documented condition of ADU approval, not a self-certification. An applicant must submit any two of eight specific records: a bank statement dated within 60 days, court documents, a current mortgage or rental contract, a major credit card bill dated within 60 days, a property tax notice dated within one year, a school transcript dated within 90 days, a utility bill with a billing date within 60 days, or a valid Utah vehicle registration or title.

The code singles out one exclusion by name: cell phone bills are not accepted as a utility bill substitute, closing off the easiest document to fake or obtain without residency. Community Development reviews the submission alongside the ADU application itself, and the city can record a notice against the property with Salt Lake County documenting that the home contains an internal ADU subject to Taylorsville's adopted land use regulations, so the occupancy condition follows the title. Because the standard sits inside the same subsection governing lot size, parking, and construction requirements, a Community Development reviewer checking any one ADU standard is also confirming the applicant supplied qualifying occupancy proof before the permit and license can move forward.
