Property owners must maintain premises free of rodent and insect infestations under the Property Maintenance Code, with nuisance provisions allowing city abatement for uncorrected conditions.
Chapter 8.20 of the West Jordan Municipal Code addresses nuisances, including conditions that harbor rodents, vermin, or insects. The International Property Maintenance Code is adopted and requires structures to be kept free of infestation. Owners receiving notice of a pest-related nuisance must abate it within the time specified, typically 10 days, or the city may abate at the owner's expense with costs assessed against the property.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
