South Jordan designates dangerous dogs based on behavior under Title 6. Utah Code Β§18-1-3 governs liability, and Utah Code Β§11-46-201 preempts breed-specific legislation statewide.
South Jordan's dangerous-dog rules are behavior-based β a dog that has bitten without provocation, seriously injured a person, or killed another animal may be declared dangerous or vicious. Consequences include mandatory muzzling in public, secure enclosure requirements, liability insurance, and potential destruction orders in severe cases. Utah Code Β§11-46-201 (enacted 2015) preempts breed-specific legislation β South Jordan cannot ban pit bulls or any breed. Utah Code Β§18-1-3 and Β§18-1-1 govern owner liability and dangerous-dog designations at the state level. Appeals follow administrative hearing procedures.
