What you need in Wasatch County — and what you do not
Utah food permit / registration
RequiredUtah Department of Agriculture and Food registration or a state food permit is required before selling.
Registered cottage food operations may sell through various channels. The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) issues registration; local health departments do not have jurisdiction to regulate compliant cottage food operations except to investigate foodborne illness outbreaks. The state also has a separate Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act (Utah Code Title 4, Chapter 5A) that allows unregistered sales of certain homemade foods with a business license, but only at direct-to-sale farmers markets or direct-to-sale locations with appropriate signage. Food service establishments may not use cottage food products as ingredients in food served to the public.
Utah Code §4-5-501 →Utah routine kitchen inspection
Not requiredNo routine state inspection for the exemption (complaint inspection may still apply).
No inspection required; complaint-based only for registered operations.
Zoning / home occupation
RequiredA local home occupation or home-based-business approval is required in Wasatch County.
Wasatch County is subject to Utah state law under Utah Code §4-5-501, which requires UDAF registration and a food handler's permit. Utah state law explicitly prohibits local governments from imposing additional requirements on compliant registered cottage food operations. No county-specific ordinance was found that restricts cottage food beyond state law. Wasatch County (county seat: Heber City) is a fast-growing Wasatch Back community. Utah state law preempts local regulation of compliant cottage food operations. Heber City and other incorporated municipalities may have business license requirements.
Local health / cottage-food registration
Not requiredNo routine local health inspection is flagged for the cottage-food path in Wasatch County.
No inspection required; complaint-based only for registered operations.
Local business license
Check locallyVaries — confirm with the local license office.
House / porch pickup
Check locallyOn-site pickup is flagged as allowed in Wasatch County — still confirm hours, parking, and HOA rules.
Direct sales at home, farmers markets, events, and online sales permitted. Indirect/wholesale sales also allowed under UDAF registration. No sales cap.
What Wasatch County publishes for the home cottage-food path
Dollar amounts appear only when we have read them on an official page. If a cell is blank, that office has not published a flat price we can quote. Ask them before you pay. A fee that varies with sales is a percent of receipts (privilege tax / BPOL), not a sticker price. Not MEHKO, commissary, or storefront.
