Logan, UT Fire Regulations: Smoke Detectors (2026)

Section 15.25.050(F) lists smoke detectors among the duties of a property owner: provide smoke detectors and fire extinguishers as required by Logan City fire department. The section does not print a detector count or placement rule itself; it defers to what the fire department requires. It sits in a list of owner duties that begins with complying with applicable building, housing and health codes and not renting premises unless they are safe, sanitary, and fit for human occupancy.

Section 15.25.110 sets the repair clock. After appropriate written notice of the failure delivered to the person identified in section 15.25.030(A)(2), the owner must take reasonable steps to begin repairing within the listed period and complete the repairs with reasonable diligence. An inoperable or missing smoke detector required by code gets twenty four (24) hours. An inoperable required fire sprinkler system gets twenty four (24) hours if smoke detectors are not present or operating, and ninety six (96) hours if smoke detectors are installed and operable. The tenant must grant the owner reasonable access to do the work.

If the owner does not start in time, section 15.25.120 lets a tenant who is current on rent make the repair and deduct it. For a noncritical repair the tenant first sends a second written notice, and the owner must begin within forty eight (48) hours, excluding holidays and weekends, after hand delivery, or by the end of the second calendar day after mailing. Deductions are capped at four hundred dollars ($400.00) per repair and four hundred dollars ($400.00) in any month. The tenant keeps original bids and paid receipts for the owner.

Section 15.25.020 excludes certain arrangements from the chapter, including residence at a detention, medical, geriatric, educational, counseling, or religious institution, and transient occupancy in a hotel or motel, except single room occupancy units.
