South Jordan, UT Historic Preservation: Historic-Cultural Monuments (2026)

If an application for a demolition permit is submitted for an existing structure which is at least fifty (50) years old but which has not been nominated for or received designation as a historic structure under the provisions of this chapter, the city manager or his designee shall delay issuance of the demolition permit for up to thirty (30) calendar days. City staff will notify the historic preservation committee, which may make an assessment of the historical integrity and significance of the structure and its property within the context of city history. If the committee determines that the structure is historically significant, they may meet with the property owner and discuss possible preservation alternatives. If preservation is not possible, the historic preservation committee may, with the consent of the building's owner, document the structure by taking photographs and measurements of the building to create accurate measured drawings and to preserve a record of the building. The city manager or his/her designee shall issue the demolition permit when notified in writing by the committee that either the building is not historically significant or that documentation has been completed, but not later than thirty (30) days from the date of application.
