Land Sales (Subdivisions)
Frequently Asked Questions
A subdivision that is either located in Utah or offered or disposed of in Utah must be registered with the Utah Division of Real Estate prior to offering or disposing of any interest in the subdivision.
Utah law allows for a number of exemptions to registration requirements. Refer to Utah Code Annotated 57-11-4 for a complete list of exemptions.
The following exemptions must be filed with the Division:
- The “HUD Exemption” under 57-11-4(2).
- The “Water Exemption” under 57-11-4(3).
- The “Non-commercial Exemption” under 57-11-4(4).
All other exemptions under 57-11-4 are self-executing and need not be filed with the Division. However, the Division may request information of the owners/developers of a subdivision explaining why the subdivision is exempt from registration.
To file for a "HUD", "Water" or "Non-commercial" exemption, submit to the Division:
- Completed and signed Application for Exemption from Land Sales Practices Act .
- $100 non-refundable fee
