When a registrant fails a compliance check, the Sheriff's office initiates enforcement action. All registration data collected by the Sheriff flows into Utah's statewide registry at sor.utah.gov, keeping the public database current.
The Davis County Sheriff works closely with the Weber Sex Offender Task Force, a regional law enforcement collaboration that covers Davis and Weber counties. This task force focuses on compliance monitoring, locating non-compliant registrants, and coordinating enforcement actions that cross city and county lines. Task force operations supplement the routine registration work done by the Sheriff and by city police departments in Davis County.
For registrants who are under active Adult Probation and Parole supervision, their AP&P officer manages registration directly and coordinates with the Sheriff. Once supervision ends, the registrant takes responsibility for direct reporting to the Sheriff or their city's police department.

When a registrant lives within a city's boundaries, they register with that city's police rather than with the Sheriff. The city police then submit registration data to the state registry.

How to Find Registered Sex Offenders in Davis County
Start at sor.utah.gov. From the main search page, select Davis County from the county dropdown or enter a specific city name within Davis County. The address-based search lets you enter any street address in Davis County and set a radius to find all registrants within that distance. This works well when you want to check an area around a school, park, or home address.
To search for a specific person, enter their name in the name search field. The system searches all active Utah registrants. If the person is registered and their record is public, it will appear. Some records are restricted from public view. If a search returns no results, that does not always mean the person is not required to register. For law enforcement confirmation about a specific individual, contact the Davis County Sheriff at 801-451-4100 or the relevant city police department.
The national registry at nsopw.gov pulls from Utah's data and lets you check Davis County records alongside records from other states. This is useful if you are checking a person who has lived in multiple states.
The OffenderWatch platform also provides access to Utah registry data including Davis County registrants. Some residents prefer the OffenderWatch interface. Both it and sor.utah.gov draw from the same underlying data submitted by Davis County law enforcement agencies.
Davis County Sex Offender Laws and Requirements
Utah's sex offender registry laws apply to Davis County the same as anywhere else in the state. The statutory framework is found at Utah Code Title 77, Chapter 41. In May 2025, these provisions were reorganized under Title 53 as part of a broader legislative update. The core obligations remain the same: register in person twice a year, report changes within three business days, pay the annual fee, and comply with proximity restrictions where applicable.
Registrants in Davis County must appear in person during their birth month and again six months later. The $100 annual fee is due at the birth month visit. All visits require valid photo ID. Changes to home address, employer, school, vehicle registration, or online identifiers must be reported within three business days. This three-day rule applies to temporary moves and short-term employment changes as well as permanent ones.
For offenders whose victim was a minor, Utah law prohibits living or working near daycares, preschools, schools, public parks, playgrounds, and public swimming pools. Davis County has a dense network of these facilities given its suburban character. Compliance with proximity restrictions is part of the regular monitoring work done by the Davis County Sheriff and the Weber Sex Offender Task Force.
The registry is public under Utah Code 63G-2. Any person can access it without a fee or a stated reason. Registered sex offenders in Davis County may not legally change their name while on the registry. Davis County courts deny name change petitions from active registrants consistent with this rule. Failure to register is a third-degree felony for those whose original conviction was a felony, prosecuted in the Second District Court which serves Davis County.
Out-of-state offenders who move to or visit Davis County must register within 10 days of entering Utah. Given Davis County's location between Salt Lake City and Weber County, it sees regular movement of people from other states. The Sheriff's office handles new registrations from out-of-state arrivals for unincorporated areas; city police departments handle those registrations for their respective city boundaries.
