Home occupations in unincorporated Utah County require compliance with the Land Use Ordinance. Home-based businesses are permitted in residential zones if they remain clearly secondary to residential use.
Utah County's Land Use Ordinance governs home occupations in unincorporated residential zones. Home-based businesses must be conducted by residents of the dwelling, remain secondary to the residential use, and not alter the residential character of the neighborhood. Significant commercial activity, employees coming to the home, or customer traffic exceeding residential norms may require a conditional use permit or relocation to a commercial zone. Contact Utah County Community Development (codev.utahcounty.gov) to confirm home occupation requirements for your zone.
Operating without permit: cease-and-desist order. Fines $100 to $500 per day. Business license penalties apply.
