State guide
Utah
Utah runs both its EPA-authorized lead-based paint activities program and its own authorized RRP program through the Department of Environmental Quality's Division of Air Quality. On the official Utah and local pages reviewed, I found state certification rules plus county or local lead-safe repair programs, but no statewide rental lead-safe certificate or city rental lead certificate requirement like Rochester or Philadelphia.
Checked against official sources on October 4, 2026. Rules and links change; confirm with the office listed before you act.
- State lead program
- Utah DEQ's Division of Air Quality runs Utah's EPA-authorized lead-based paint program for both lead activities and RRP.
- Rental lead-safe requirements
- I did not find an official Utah statewide rental lead-safe certificate, rental lead registration, or periodic rental lead inspection mandate on the official state and local pages reviewed; the local pages I found describe assistance programs instead.

What to do next
- Use Utah DEQ's lead program page first, then the ATLAS public portal, before hiring or filing paperwork.
- If the rental is in Salt Lake County or Weber County, ask whether the local lead-safe or healthy homes program can cover testing or repairs.
- Because Utah runs its own RRP program, verify Utah-specific renovator or firm credentials rather than assuming EPA-only credentials are enough.
