Commercial noise in West Jordan must not exceed reasonable limits at the property line of adjacent residential zones. Loading dock, HVAC, and mechanical noise are common enforcement targets.
West Jordan Municipal Code uses a plainly-audible and reasonableness standard at zone boundaries. Mechanical equipment, truck loading at the Jordan Landing and District retail corridors, industrial operations near Redwood Road and the 7800 South business park, and HVAC rooftop units are typical complaint sources. Utah Code Section 76-9-101 (disorderly conduct) provides criminal fallback for persistent commercial disturbances. Conditional use permits for warehouses, car washes, and 24-hour retailers commonly include noise mitigation conditions such as solid masonry screen walls, restricted delivery hours (typically 7 AM to 10 PM), and rooftop HVAC attenuation. Class B/C misdemeanor charges apply for repeat or willful violations. Bars and entertainment venues must comply with their conditional-use noise conditions in addition to the general ordinance. Salt Lake County Health Department handles industrial air/noise referrals under shared interlocal agreements.
Administrative citation for code violation typically $100 to $500 per day of continuing violation. Class B misdemeanor (up to $1,000 fine and 6 months jail) for disorderly conduct under Utah Code 76-9-101 for willful repeat violations.
