The rules in Utah

Utah sex offender laws & risk levels

10-year and lifetime registration. Utah registers offenders for 10 years or life depending on the offense and publishes registrants on the Corrections Department's public site.

Protected-area rules rather than residence bans. Utah generally restricts registrants from being in "protected areas" (schools, childcare, parks, playgrounds) rather than barring residence near them; supervision adds individual conditions.

Registration & verification. Registrants must keep their address, employment, and schooling current with the registry, and verify in person on a recurring schedule — more frequently for higher-risk or higher-tier registrants. Failure to register or verify is itself a crime and commonly appears as a listed offense on registry records.

Common questions

Utah sex offender registry FAQ

How many registered sex offenders live in Utah?

As of July 2026, there are 10,805 registered sex offenders in Utah — about 33 for every 10,000 residents, 38% above the national average. Counts change as offenders register, move, or are removed from the registry.

Which city in Utah has the most sex offenders?

Salt Lake City has the most registered sex offenders in Utah with 3,067. Raw counts track population, so the fairer comparison is per capita: adjusted for population, Salt Lake City has the highest rate among major cities at 153.6 per 10,000 residents, while South Jordan has the lowest at 7.5.

How do I find sex offenders near my address in Utah?

Use the free Predator Map app to search any Utah address and see registered offenders around it on a map, with photos and offense details from official registry records. You can also search the official Utah Sex Offender Registry (Dept. of Corrections) website directly.

Why is this number different from the official Utah registry website?

Public registry websites only show what the state chooses to publish. Utah publishes registrants with current registration duties on the public site. Statistics on this page are compiled from aggregated official registry records, so they can differ from — and often exceed — what a manual search of the public site returns.

Does Utah restrict where sex offenders can live?

Protected-area rules rather than residence bans. Utah generally restricts registrants from being in "protected areas" (schools, childcare, parks, playgrounds) rather than barring residence near them; supervision adds individual conditions. Address-level monitoring matters more than assumptions about "safe" neighborhoods.

How current is this data?

Statistics on this page are compiled from official state registry records and refreshed monthly. This page was last updated in July 2026. Always verify individual records with the official state registry.

Can I get alerts when a sex offender moves near me in Utah?

Yes. Predator Map Pro monitors up to 5 addresses daily and sends push and email alerts when a registered offender moves in nearby, a new offender registers, or someone moves away.

Is it legal to look up sex offenders near me?

Yes. Registry information is public record under federal and state law (Megan's Law), and anyone may search it to protect themselves and their family. What the law prohibits is using registry information to harass, threaten, or commit a crime against a registrant — misuse can be prosecuted.

Methodology: Statistics are compiled from aggregated official state registry records and refreshed monthly. City figures count the city listed on each registry record. Per-capita rates use 2020 U.S. Census populations. Aggregated counts can exceed what public registry websites display because some classification levels are excluded from public searches. Figures are estimates and change daily as registries update — always verify individual records with the official state registry.
