Provo operates a mandatory Residential Rental Licensing program under PCC Chapter 6.26, with fee discounts for landlords completing Good Landlord training. Orem has a Rental Dwelling License under OCC §22-9. Utah County unincorporated areas do not have countywide rental registration but rely on state law.
Provo City Code Chapter 6.26 (Residential Rental Dwelling Licensing) requires every owner renting residential property in Provo to obtain an annual license. Landlords who complete the Good Landlord training under Utah Code §10-1-203.5 receive a substantial fee discount; those who do not pay a significantly higher base fee. BYU-area rental compliance is tightly tied to Provo's single-family occupancy limits and the Good Landlord program. Orem requires a Rental Dwelling License under Orem City Code §22-9 with annual renewal and inspection compliance. Payson, Springville, and American Fork operate similar programs with local variations. Utah County unincorporated areas do not require county-level rental registration; state law (Fit Premises Act §57-22) still mandates habitability. All rental properties statewide must provide working smoke detectors under Utah Code §15A-5-202.5 and carbon monoxide alarms in units with fuel-burning appliances. Lead-based paint disclosure is required for pre-1978 properties under federal law.
Operating unlicensed rental in Provo/Orem: fines $100 to $1,000 per unit and retroactive fees. Failed inspection: correction notice with re-inspection fee. Missing smoke/CO alarms: §15A-5-202.5 violation, possible criminal charge. Lead disclosure failure: federal HUD penalties up to $19,507 per violation.
