Logan, UT Rental Inspections: Inspection Programs (2026)

Logan's rental chapter is short on inspection mechanics. Section 5.17.100 reads in full that inspections of rental dwellings may be conducted as allowed by state law, and chapter 5.17 adds no inspection schedule, fee, checklist or notice period of its own. What the chapter does add is the paper trail an inspector would start from.

At licensing, section 5.17.050(C) requires an evaluation of each rental dwelling to determine eligibility for a landlord business license, tested against whether the dwelling sits in a zoning district that allows the same type of occupancy or has been determined legally existing nonconforming. The owner signs a certification that use and occupancy conform to applicable ordinances (5.17.040). Section 5.17.090 holds every rental dwelling to the zoning and building code requirements in effect when it was legally permitted. Under section 5.17.095(C), owners and agents must provide a written lease containing tenant information, or a zoning occupancy disclosure form, within seven (7) days of a request by a city code official or police officer investigating any code violation.

Separately, the general business license chapter says in section 5.02.100 that existing places of business licensed within the city shall be inspected periodically by city departments for compliance with building, fire, health and safety codes. The inspector gives written notice of any violation with a reasonable period, not to exceed sixty (60) days, to correct it, and failure results in revocation of the license by the administrator. Chapter 5.17 does not repeat that language.

Tenants have a duty on the other side. Section 15.25.080 says a tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the owner's entry to make necessary or agreed inspections, and the owner gives at least 24 hours' notice, between 8:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M., except in emergencies.
