Taylorsville, UT Code Violation Reporting: Common Violations (2026)

Section 9.08.030(C) enumerates 38 specific nuisances, all separately abatable under chapter 9.08. Among the most commonly reported: item 20 makes it a violation to park or store construction equipment or machinery where it is readily visible from a public street, alley, or adjoining property, unless it is tied to an active building permit or the property is zoned for that storage. Item 21 covers signs left in poor repair or advertising a business no longer on the property. Item 22, Hazardous Conditions, reaches any wall, sign, fence, gate, hedge, or structure kept in a state of deterioration or disrepair that endangers people or property.

Item 23 makes graffiti visible from a public street a nuisance in its own right, separate from any other property maintenance violation. Because the list is not exhaustive under subsection C, a condition that meets one of the five general nuisance definitions in subsection B, injurious to health, dangerous to life, or offending public decency, can be cited even if it is not spelled out among the 38 examples. The city designated representative, usually the police department or Community Development, investigates a report, first seeking voluntary correction under section 9.08.080 before issuing an administrative notice under section 9.08.090 with a deadline to fix the condition.
