Utah County requires defensible space in WUI areas along the Wasatch foothills. Provo, Orem, and unincorporated hillside communities enforce 30-foot non-combustible zones. Utah Code §65A-8 wildland fire provisions apply.
Utah County sits at high wildfire risk along the Wasatch Front and Mt. Timpanogos foothills. Provo Fire Department enforces defensible space in WUI zones including the Provo foothills, Rock Canyon, and Squaw Peak corridor. Typical standards: 0-5 feet ember-resistant zone, 5-30 feet lean clean green zone, 30-100 feet reduced fuels. Orem Fire enforces similar standards east of 800 East. Utah Code §65A-8-203 grants the Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands oversight on wildland fire. Utah County Ordinance Chapter 5 regulates fire prevention in unincorporated Alpine Loop, Diamond Fork, and Hobble Creek corridors. Annual inspections occur spring through early summer before fire season.
Defensible space notice with 30-day correction deadline. Failure to comply: city or county abates at owner expense plus 25% administrative fee. Lien recorded against property if unpaid.
