Washington County, UT Animal Ordinances: Veterinary Clinic Zoning (2026)

Code § 10-10-2, the allowed uses provision for the county's commercial zones (C-1, C-2, C-3 and PDC), lists 'Animal hospital and veterinary clinic, including overnight care of small animals in a completely enclosed building' as a permitted (P) use, but the P marks fall only under the C-2 Highway Commercial, C-3 General Commercial and PDC Planned Development Commercial columns; the C-1 Convenience Commercial column is blank, so a veterinary clinic is not an allowed use in C-1. The section's coding key states that a P use is allowed outright while a PS use must additionally comply with standards and evaluation criteria in the title; veterinary clinics carry no PS conditions beyond the enclosed-building requirement written into the use description itself.

5 acres or less. A veterinary clinic operator in the unincorporated county must also hold a county business license under title 3, chapter 1, since operating any business in the unincorporated area without one is unlawful.
