West Jordan


West Jordan, Utah began as a sparse Mormon pioneer settlement in 1849 and is now a thriving modern city nestled in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley. More than 102,000 residents call West Jordan, Utah home. While the population of West Jordan continues to climb - up from a 2000 census count of 68,336 - the community somehow maintains its noteworthy small-town charm.

West Jordan City Pet Regulations

(As reported by West Jordan's official city Web site)


All dogs and cats must be licensed with the City of West Jordan each year to a person 18 years of age or older. A pet license needs to be obtained within 30 days following any of these circumstances:

1) A dog or cat reaches the age of four months.
2) A current resident has acquired a new dog or cat.
3) A new resident with pets has moved to West Jordan.

Proof of current rabies vaccination by a licensed veterinarian and proof of spay or neuter (if applicable) is required.                


Each residential address is limited to four dogs and/or a reasonable number of cats (meaning that all animals are well taken care of and restrained to the property). The pets must wear their tags at all times on a collar or harness. If the tags are lost or destroyed, replacement tags can be obtained for $1.00 each.  

Licensing renewals are sent out by January 15th each year, and new licenses need to be obtained by the last day of February that same year. If the license fee is not paid by the last day of February, an additional late fee of $15.00 per animal will be charged.


Senior Discount

 Senior residents (60 years) may qualify for discounts to license their pets as detailed in the schedule below. Seniors qualifying for the one-time fee must still register their pet and obtain a new animal license tag each year following the one-time payment (this is at no cost).
