South Jordan requires STR operators to obtain a business license and comply with zoning, but Utah Code 10-8-85.4 limits the city's ability to ban rentals based solely on online listings.
Short-term rentals in South Jordan are regulated under the city's business licensing and zoning provisions. Operators must obtain a city business license, collect and remit transient room taxes, and comply with life-safety requirements such as smoke alarms and emergency egress. Under Utah Code Section 10-8-85.4, a municipality may not use an online rental listing as the sole basis for enforcement against an owner-occupied short-term rental in a residential zone — meaning the city cannot ban STRs simply because they appear on Airbnb or VRBO. Cities can still impose reasonable regulations on parking, noise, occupancy, and safety, and can enforce against non-owner-occupied STRs in zones where they are not permitted. Operators should register with the Utah State Tax Commission for transient room tax remittance.
