To apply, residents must:
- Submit a completed permit application to Salt Lake County Animal Services.
- Submit to the health department's Water Quality Bureau:
- plans for housing your dog in the watershed (enclosures should be walled or fenced and a minimum of 50 feet from any waterway, but preferably 100 feet away).
- a proposed method of daily animal waste disposal.
- a written statement agreeing to:
- Microchip the dog
- Keep the enclosure clean and sanitary at all times
- Dispose of waste daily
- Ensure the dog wears the required watershed tag or identifier at all times
- Adhere to all Salt Lake County Animal Control Regulations (including vaccination requirements) and the Salt Lake County Watershed Regulation
- Keep the dog on the property except when entering or leaving via vehicle* and keep the dog leashed when walking to and from your vehicle
- Pay the current special permit fee to Salt Lake County Animal Services. This may include a surety bond or cash amount you will forfeit if you break the permit requirements.
*Dogs licensed in the town of Alta must be kept within town limits.
