State inspection record
Serious findings corrected
2 serious findings in 2024, corrected and closed out by the state.
- The state visited on a conditional or monitoring inspection earlier in this three-year window.
- At least one finding came from a complaint investigation.
- The state assessed $400 in penalties. Utah fines a community for a repeat citation, or when noncompliance caused harm or was likely to.
Most licensed Utah communities have 1 or fewer citations in the state’s three-year record.
A citation is the more serious of the two notices Utah issues for a rule out of compliance. The lesser one, a warning, is not published by the state, so nothing on this record is at that level.
Utah assigns each finding a risk level — Low, Moderate, High or Extreme — based on the likelihood and severity of harm that could result if a rule is out of compliance.
