Davis County cities, not the county, abate blight on incorporated land. Layton requires all solid waste, litter and disused items be removed from private property, and inoperable or unlicensed vehicles be removed or fully enclosed.
Most Davis County residents live in cities (Layton, Bountiful, Clearfield, Kaysville) whose property-maintenance codes govern blight; the county's nuisance ordinance covers only unincorporated land. Layton City Code 6.24.070 treats accumulated solid waste, litter and outdoor storage as a nuisance, and 6.24.170/175 make unlicensed or inoperable vehicles a violation unless enclosed. Bountiful bars using any yard for storage of trash, debris, junk or abandoned equipment under Land Use Code 14-14-110. Enforcement is complaint-driven, starting with a courtesy notice before formal citation and court-ordered abatement.
Layton issues a 14-day courtesy notice, then a formal Notice of Ordinance Violation; unresolved cases lead to court-ordered abatement billed to the owner plus administrative fees.
