Taylorsville, UT Code Violation Reporting: Response Times (2026)

Under Taylorsville City Code title 18, chapter 18.03, the director or a designated enforcement official who finds a violation of the titles listed in section 18.01.015 (business licenses, animals, health and safety, public peace, vehicles, subdivisions, land development, highways, or building code) sends a courtesy notice by regular mail to the responsible person's last known address on file with the county assessor, or by personal service, under section 18.03.020. That notice starts a ten-day clock: if the violation is not brought into compliance within ten days of the courtesy notice, or within the deadline stated in the specific ordinance violated, the city issues a notice of violation.

Once a notice of violation is served, section 18.03.040 gives the responsible person another ten days from service to bring the property into compliance; civil penalties accrue for every subsequent day the violation continues after that second deadline passes. Section 18.03.050 requires the city to inspect the property once after the compliance deadline on any notice or order, and allows a thirty dollar ($30.00) reinspection fee if additional inspections are needed to confirm the violation has been abated. A responsible person served with a notice of violation, an administrative citation, or a notice of emergency abatement can contest the action by filing a written hearing request with the hearing officer within ten calendar days of service, under section 18.08.020; the request must include the case number, the violation address, and the requester's signature. Missing that ten-day window waives the right to a hearing and to challenge the enforcement action.
