South Jordan designates dangerous dogs based on behavior under Title 6. Utah Code §18-1-3 governs liability, and Utah Code §11-46-201 preempts breed-specific legislation statewide.
South Jordan's dangerous-dog rules are behavior-based — 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 §11-46-201 (enacted 2015) preempts breed-specific legislation — South Jordan cannot ban pit bulls or any breed. Utah Code §18-1-3 and §18-1-1 govern owner liability and dangerous-dog designations at the state level. Appeals follow administrative hearing procedures.
