Doing business in West Jordan
West Jordan, in the southwest Salt Lake Valley, has grown quickly with new neighborhoods and commercial development on its west side. Home service companies and contractors are common first filings. New commercial areas on West Jordan's west side and along Bangerter Highway house retail and service businesses, while home-based contractors need the city's home occupation approval. West Jordan businesses fall under Salt Lake County, so the county health department handles food permits even though the city issues the business license. Contractors based here who work across the valley still need only one Utah LLC; each city where they keep an office may require its own license.
West Jordan had 116,688 residents in 2024, the third largest city in Utah by the Census Bureau's estimate, inside Salt Lake County (67,066 establishments and an average wage of $77,495 countywide). City hall is at 8000 S Redwood Rd, West Jordan, UT 84088. The combined sales tax inside West Jordan is 7.45 percent for the fourth quarter of 2026, 0.00 points below unincorporated Salt Lake County. The city holds 9.6 percent of Salt Lake County's 1,216,274 residents and 3.3 percent of all Utahns. On a $1,000 taxable sale, the 7.45 percent rate adds $74.50.
Your LLC or corporation is filed with the state, but a business located in West Jordan also needs a West Jordan business license before it opens, and zoning or home occupation approval if it runs from a house. If you trade under a name other than the registered one, the DBA is registered statewide with the Division of Corporations for $22, not with the city.
