From Iron County to Cache Valley, communities in Utah could become cities in the coming months through incorporation.
The steps to incorporate have changed slightly over the years, due in part topassed earlier this year. Before, much of the process was administered by the Lieutenant Governor’s Office.
But in large part, the process is the same: the road to incorporation starts with a petition. People within that community must submit a request for a feasibility study — which is a study conducted by an outside agency that would determine whether a proposed study is viable as a stand-alone municipality, looking at the tax base, expected growth and other factors.
After county and state officials validate the signatures to make sure a community meets the set thresholds, then the state will hire an outside feasibility consultant to carry out the study. A draft study is reviewed by the petitioners, county and state before it’s finalized, Bailey said. Typically, it takes about four months to complete the study.
Assuming everything goes through and is approved by the county and state, the question of incorporation is then added to ballots during the nearest election. A simple majority is all that’s needed.
