- Home occupation permit required:
- No
- Details:
- Utah cottage food law preempts local ordinances; local health departments and county governments may not require additional permits, licenses, or fees for registered cottage food operations. Beaver County has no identified separate home occupation ordinance for cottage food. State registration with UDAF is required.
- Home kitchen:
- Utah Cottage Food Law (Utah Code §4-5-501) allows sale of shelf-stable, non-potentially-hazardous foods from a home kitchen after UDAF registration and inspection. A valid food handler's permit is required. Products may be sold direct-to-consumer or to retail stores within Utah. No annual sales cap. An alternative pathway (Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act, Title 4 Ch. 5A) allows broader product sales without UDAF registration but limits sales to direct-to-consumer only at direct-to-sale farmers markets. All local ordinances are preempted by state law. Beaver County is a rural unincorporated county; no county-specific cottage food ordinance identified.
