Juab County Sheriff Registration Office
The Juab County Sheriff is the primary registration authority for sex offenders living outside Nephi city limits. Any registrant who moves into Juab County, changes their address, gets a new job, or enrolls in school must report to the sheriff within three business days. The sheriff processes the registration and sends the data to the Utah Department of Corrections for entry into the statewide public registry. This ensures that Juab County registrations appear on the public database at sor.utah.gov.
For people with a Nephi city address, the Nephi City Police Department handles registration. You can find their contact information at nephicity.com/police. The Juab County Sheriff and Nephi City Police use the same state system, so all registrants in the county appear in one unified registry regardless of which local agency processed the paperwork. Visit juabcounty.gov/sheriff for the sheriff's office details if you are outside Nephi.
The Juab County Sheriff also enforces registration compliance. If you know someone in Juab County who is required to register but has not done so, you can contact the sheriff's office to report it.

State Oversight of Juab County Registrants
The Utah Department of Corrections manages the sex offender registry at the state level and provides oversight for all county-level registrations, including those in Juab County. The DOC operates the public registry at sor.utah.gov, assigns tier levels to registrants, and coordinates with sheriffs and police departments to ensure data is consistent and up to date. Offenders under supervision by Adult Probation and Parole may have their registrations processed through the DOC directly rather than through the Juab County Sheriff.
The DOC is reachable at corrections.utah.gov or by phone at (801) 495-7700. If you have a question about a Juab County registrant that the local sheriff cannot answer, the state agency is the next point of contact. The DOC can also clarify registration requirements and explain the tier system used to classify offenders in Utah.

Registration Rules for Juab County Offenders
Utah law requires sex offenders to verify their registration twice a year and to report any changes within three business days. The two verification periods fall in the registrant's birth month and again six months later. Between those dates, any change in home address, employment, or school enrollment must be reported to the Juab County Sheriff or Nephi City Police promptly. These requirements apply to all registrants in Juab County, from Nephi to the smaller communities spread across this rural county.
The annual registration fee is $100. This fee is paid at the yearly check-in. Failing to pay the fee, missing a check-in, or not reporting a change on time is a third-degree felony under Utah law. The consequences are real and Juab County law enforcement takes non-compliance seriously. Anyone convicted in the past who moves to Juab County from another state must register within 10 days of arriving. The 10-day deadline applies even if the person completed all registration requirements in their prior state.
Sex offenders convicted of crimes against minors face additional restrictions on where they can live and go in Juab County. Utah law prohibits them from residing near or spending time near schools, daycares, public parks, playgrounds, and public swimming pools. These protected zone rules are enforced throughout Juab County by local law enforcement. Violations of these restrictions can result in additional felony charges beyond the underlying registration requirements.
Utah also bars registrants from changing their legal name while they are on the registry. Courts will not approve a name change for any person currently required to be on the Utah Sex Offender Registry, including those living in Juab County. This rule prevents people from using a new name to make their offense history harder to find.
Searching the Juab County Registry

This federal tool links to every state's sex offender registry and lets you search by name across all of them at once. It is useful for checking whether someone moving to Juab County has a sex offense history in another state. Always follow up with a Utah-specific search on sor.utah.gov for the most current and complete data about Juab County registrants.

Utah Law and Juab County Sex Offenders
Utah's sex offender registration statutes were reorganized in 2025. Before May 2025, they were found in Title 77, Chapter 41 of the Utah Code. After the reorganization, the provisions moved to Title 53. The obligations for Juab County registrants did not change in substance. Offenders must still register, pay fees, check in twice a year, and report changes promptly. You can review the prior statute at le.utah.gov.
Utah uses a tiered classification system for sex offenders. The tier assigned to a registrant affects how long they must stay on the registry and the frequency of their check-ins. Tier assignments are made by the Utah Department of Corrections based on the nature of the offense and risk factors. Juab County Sheriff staff process the local check-ins, but tier classification happens at the state level. Tier information appears in each registrant's profile on the public registry at sor.utah.gov.
The registry operates as a public transparency tool under state law. Juab County residents can use it to be aware of who is registered in their community. The law is designed to inform, not to enable harassment. Any misuse of registry information can itself result in legal consequences under Utah law.
