West Jordan, UT Rental Inspections: Inspection Programs (2026)

Section 4-2R-1 requires a residential landlord to hold a current general business license along with a special rental license, though landlords of more than one unit need only one general business license and must give the city a current list of all units they own or operate. Section 4-2R-2 requires landlords outside the Good Landlord or Short-Term Rental programs to obtain the standard rental property license and pay the consolidated fee-schedule fee. The Good Landlord Program under section 4-2R-3 offers a reduced per-unit fee in exchange for completed training, screening every tenant with a rental application and written lease, providing the city with after-hours utility repair contacts, and supplying at least one off-street parking space per unit at no extra charge; in return the city notifies the landlord of criminal activity or code violations at the property.

Section 4-2R-4 separately licenses short-term rentals of under 30 consecutive days, requiring the license number to appear in every online listing, written notice to all property owners within 100 feet before a license issues, on-site parking only, and current taxes before any renewal. Section 4-2R-6 adds grounds for denying, revoking, or suspending a rental license beyond the general Title 4 chapter 1 grounds, including noncompliance with site plan, conditional use, variance, or development agreement terms, noncompliance with city, county, health department, state, or federal regulations tied to the property or its rental, refusing a lawful inspection or interfering with one, failing obligations under a Good Landlord agreement, and two or more law enforcement or code enforcement cases at one of the owner's rental properties within the most recent 12 consecutive months. A landlord may appeal a denial, revocation, or suspension under the procedures in Title 4, chapter 1, article C.
