Tooele Quick Facts
Tooele City Police and Sex Offender Registration
The Tooele City Police Department is the primary registration agency for sex offenders who live within Tooele city limits. If you live in Tooele City and need to register or update your address, employment, vehicle, or other required information, you do that through the police department. The department works directly with the Utah Department of Corrections and the state registry to make sure local records stay current.
You can reach Tooele City Police at tooelecity.org/police. The department handles initial registration, annual renewals, and change-of-information updates for city residents. Officers also take part in periodic compliance checks to confirm that registered sex offenders in Tooele are living and working where they claim. This kind of active monitoring is standard practice across Utah's larger police agencies and is part of how the state keeps registry data accurate.
Offenders who are under the supervision of Adult Probation and Parole (AP&P) register through their assigned officer, not directly with Tooele City Police. If you are unsure where to register, call the police department and they will direct you to the right office. Getting it wrong is not an excuse under Utah law, and a missed or late registration counts as a separate criminal offense.
The Tooele City Police Department manages sex offender registration for residents inside Tooele city limits.
Tooele City Police coordinate with state and county agencies to keep the local sex offender registry up to date.
Tooele County Sheriff and Sex Offender Records
The Tooele County Sheriff handles sex offender registration for all parts of Tooele County that fall outside city limits. That includes unincorporated areas, smaller communities, and rural zones across the county. The Sheriff's Office is also the main county-level agency for public safety coordination involving registered sex offenders.
You can find county-level information at tooelecounty.gov/sheriff. While Tooele County does not maintain a separate public sex offender search page the way some other counties do, all Tooele County registrants appear in the Utah statewide registry at sor.utah.gov. Searching that database by Tooele city or zip code (84074 is the primary zip for Tooele City) will return all registered offenders in the area regardless of whether their registration was processed by the city police or the county sheriff.
The Sheriff's Office also responds to community concerns about registered offenders in county areas. If you believe a sex offender is not complying with registration requirements outside city limits, contact the Tooele County Sheriff. For violations inside Tooele City, contact Tooele City Police. Do not call 911 for registration compliance issues unless there is an immediate safety threat.

Tooele Sex Offender Registration Requirements
Utah law requires all sex offenders in Tooele to follow the same registration rules that apply across the state. Under Utah Code Title 77, Chapter 41 (now moved to Title 53 as of May 7, 2025), offenders must provide their current home address, employer name and address, vehicle information, phone number, and school enrollment status. Any change to this information must be reported within three business days. That deadline applies whether you change your address, get a new job, buy a car, or get a new phone number.
Tooele sex offenders pay a $100 annual fee at the time of registration renewal. People who move to Tooele from another state must register within 10 days of arrival. Utah does not allow credit for registration requirements in other states. Even if your prior state did not require registration or had already removed you from its registry, Utah's rules apply the moment you take up residence here.
Registration in Tooele happens twice per year. Most offenders register in person at the agency that manages their case, either Tooele City Police or the county sheriff. Failure to register on time is a third-degree felony under Utah law. That is a separate charge from the original offense, and it can add prison time. Offenders in Tooele who are convicted of crimes against minors may also face residency restrictions near licensed daycares, schools, public pools, parks, and playgrounds.
- Register changes within 3 business days
- $100 annual fee due at renewal
- New Utah residents must register within 10 days
- Twice-per-year in-person check-ins required
- Failure to register is a third-degree felony
- Name changes are prohibited while on the registry
Tooele Registry Tiers and Removal Eligibility
Utah uses a three-tier system to classify registered sex offenders. Tier 1 is the lowest and carries a 10-year registration requirement. Tier 2 is a 25-year requirement. Tier 3 is lifetime registration. Your tier is set at the time of conviction or, for out-of-state offenders, by the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole when you register in Utah for the first time.
Tooele offenders who meet the time thresholds for their tier level can petition for removal from the registry. This is not automatic. You must file a petition with the district court and show that you meet the criteria. The court reviews your offense history, compliance record, and any other relevant factors. A judge must approve the removal. The Utah Department of Corrections at corrections.utah.gov can provide general information about the petition process. Individual legal advice should come from a licensed Utah attorney.
Note that some offenses carry mandatory lifetime registration regardless of tier, and offenders convicted of crimes against minors may face additional hurdles for removal. The 2025 move of registry law from Title 77 to Title 53 did not change removal eligibility criteria, only the code location.
