Violations & Fines

Operating a tattoo or body art facility in the Medical/Educational Campus or Office Professional zone is a zoning violation the planning director investigates under EMMC 17.15.020(E), which can require relocation to the Light Manufacturing/Distribution zone or closure until the use complies. Operating without a city business license separately violates EMMC 5.05.100 and draws the chapter's default $100.00 penalty under EMMC 5.05.050(D) unless another fee applies to that license category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Eagle Mountain zone allows a tattoo shop?
Only the Light Manufacturing/Distribution (LMD) business-park zone. EMMC 17.37.030's land use table marks 'Body Art Facility/Tattoo Parlor' with a 'P' under LMD and leaves the Medical/Educational Campus and Office Professional columns blank, which the table's legend defines as prohibited, so the other two business-park zones are not an option.
Does the LMD zone's permitted status mean no review is needed?
No. The table's legend notes that a 'P' use may still require approval through an application process as detailed in this chapter and other chapters, so a body art facility in the LMD zone still goes through the standard site plan process for that zone.
Is a separate business license required?
Yes. EMMC 5.05.100 makes operating any business in the city without first obtaining a license unlawful, and EMMC 5.05.050(D) sets the default penalty for a licensing violation at $100.00 unless the code specifies a different fee for that license type.
