IMPORTANT: Free Subdivision Code Update (Which You Need)

State subdivision laws changed in the spring of 2023. Every municipality and county in Utah (including yours) needs to update its subdivision code accordingly. The state wants your code to be updated during 2024 or earlier.

We will update your subdivision code for FREE with no strings attached. We have a contract with the Department of Workforce Services, through which the state will pay us to work on your subdivision code. No joke.

The process is simple: you give us the green light, we give you a perfected subdivision code and explanation of what’s different, then you adopt the code. Along the way, you only have to deal with us. We’ll handle both the technicalities of state law and the funding logistics.

We'll Do More Than Fix Your Subdivisions (Still for Free)

While we’re updating your subdivision code, we can offer four more free services to further invest in your community:

  • Updated subdivision application forms to match your updated ordinances (everyone forgets to update the forms!).
  • A year of free code hosting. We’ve partnered with civiclinQ.com to give you a free year of code hosting for your subdivision title. You only have to use it if you want it.
  • A “due process check” to make sure you adopt the updated subdivision ordinances without violating any provision of your code.
  • Attorney review (if requested) to triple check that your new subdivision code is compliant and legally sound.

GET STARTED

Give us the green light to start improving your code by filling out the form or by contacting Mike Hansen at 801-550-5075 / m[email protected].
