West Jordan, UT Code Violation Reporting: Response Times (2026)

Under City Code section 16-2A-2, every notice of violation the Code Enforcement Supervisor issues must set a specific correction date, and that date cannot be less than 14 calendar days from the date the notice was served. The notice also must list the responsible parties, the address and date of the violation, the code sections violated, and the hearing-request procedure under section 16-2E-3. A defect in the notice does not invalidate it, but it can be amended up to 15 calendar days before any administrative hearing.

If a property owner disagrees with the notice, an itemized bill for costs, or an administrative citation, section 16-2E-3 gives them 14 calendar days from service to file a written hearing request with the City Recorder, using an approved form or any written manner that reasonably complies with the section. Once the City Recorder receives that request, the Administrative Law Judge has 7 calendar days to set a hearing date, and the hearing itself must be held within 45 calendar days of the request. Separately, section 16-2A-4 requires the responsible person to request a reinspection once the property is brought into compliance; until the Code Enforcement Supervisor or a designated official inspects and issues a notice of compliance, the violation is treated as ongoing, civil penalties keep accruing, and reinspection fees apply if more than one visit is needed.
