How Sex Offender Registration Works in Carbon County
Sex offenders in Carbon County register in person twice per year. The first visit is in their birth month. The second is six months after that. Both must happen in person at the appropriate registration office, either the Carbon County Sheriff or Price City Police. Registrants pay the $100 annual fee during their birth month registration. They must bring valid photo ID each time they register.
When a change occurs, registrants have three business days to report it. This covers changes to home address, employer, school, vehicles, and online identifiers. Moving from one part of Carbon County to another still triggers this three-day reporting requirement. If a registrant moves out of Carbon County entirely, they must register with the new county's law enforcement office within three days.
People who move to Utah from another state must register within 10 days of arriving. Out-of-state offenders coming to Carbon County for work in the energy industry, for example, are subject to this rule and must register with the Carbon County Sheriff or Price City Police depending on where they stay.

Carbon County Sex Offender Laws
Utah's sex offender registry laws apply uniformly to Carbon County residents. The core statutes are found at Utah Code Title 77, Chapter 41. In May 2025, the legislature moved these provisions to Title 53 as part of a broader reorganization, but the obligations for registered sex offenders remain the same. The law covers who must register, how often, what information must be provided, and how long the registration period lasts.
Some offenders must register for 10 years. Others remain on the registry for life. The duration depends on the nature of the conviction and whether the person has reoffended. Carbon County courts apply Utah's sentencing guidelines when determining these terms during the original criminal case.
For offenders who had a minor victim, Utah law bans them from living or working near schools, daycares, preschools, public parks, playgrounds, and public swimming pools. These restrictions apply in Price and across all of Carbon County. Violation of these proximity rules is a separate criminal offense from failure to register.
The registry is a public record under Utah Code 63G-2, so any person can access it without a fee or any stated reason. Registered offenders in Carbon County may not legally change their name while on the registry, a rule designed to prevent people from obscuring their registration status.
