Of the 100 facilities in Salt Lake County matched to Utah DLBC's inspection record, 74 were inspected in the 12 months to September 29, 2026, and 31 of those received at least one citation.

The median time since a facility's most recent inspection was about 7 months as of September 29, 2026, across the 98 facilities with an inspection on file.

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. These are counts from the public record and say nothing about any one facility: each listing shows its own record, with what was found and, where the state reports it, whether it was corrected.

3 facilities are not yet matched to the state's inspection record and are not counted in these figures.
