Weber County, UT Code Violation Reporting: How to Report (2026)

Under Land Use Code Section 102-4-4, the county's Planning Division Director or designee is designated the code enforcement official and is empowered to enforce the code by injunction, mandamus, abatement, civil penalty, or any other lawful remedy. That official is authorized to inspect properties within the unincorporated area of Weber County to determine whether a Land Use Code violation exists, using any method of inspection allowed under the state and federal constitutions. A resident who believes a property is out of compliance directs a report to the Planning Division so an inspection can be conducted.

When an inspection confirms a violation, the code enforcement official must serve written notice on the owner or occupant before taking any other enforcement step. The notice must be delivered personally or by certified mail to the address on file with the county recorder or assessor, must state the specific code section violated and describe the nature and extent of the violation, and must give the owner or occupant no later than 14 days to correct or remove the violation. Within that 14-day window, the owner or occupant may instead negotiate an alternative remedial schedule directly with the code enforcement official, so long as it is no more lenient than reasonably necessary. One notice is sufficient per lot or parcel; once the correction period lapses without compliance, the county may proceed to administrative citations, fines, and ultimately a court-ordered abatement with a lien against the property.
