- Home occupation permit required:
- Conditional
- Details:
- Davis County municipalities (Farmington, Bountiful, Layton, Clearfield, etc.) have their own zoning ordinances. Operators should verify with local city/county planning whether home occupation permit required. UDAF prohibits local health departments from requiring commercial kitchen equipment or otherwise restricting compliant registered operations. Local zoning compliance still required.
- Home kitchen:
- Utah cottage food law (Utah Code §4-5-501) requires UDAF registration and food handler's permit for Cottage Food Registration pathway. All non-TCS (non-potentially-hazardous) foods from home kitchen are allowed. No sales cap. Direct and indirect sales allowed. Separate Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act (Title 4, Chapter 5A) provides alternative pathway with fewer registration requirements but limited to farmers markets and direct-to-sale locations. Potentially hazardous foods (animal origin, raw seed sprouts, TCS foods) prohibited under cottage food framework.
