Sevier County Quick Facts
Sevier County Sheriff and Sex Offenders
The Sevier County Sheriff's office is the primary local authority for sex offender registration matters in the county. Offenders who live in unincorporated Sevier County or in smaller communities report their registration information to the sheriff. The sheriff's office is based in Richfield and can be reached through the county's official website at seviercounty.net.
When a registered sex offender moves into Sevier County from another county or from out of state, they must report to the local law enforcement agency. The sheriff coordinates with the Utah Department of Corrections to get the offender into the state database quickly. Out-of-state offenders have 10 days to complete their initial registration in Utah. Failure to do so is a felony. The sheriff's office takes these reports seriously and refers non-compliant cases for prosecution through the county attorney.
In Richfield, the city police department also handles local law enforcement. The Richfield City Police can assist residents with concerns about offenders living within the city. For the broader county, the sheriff is the main point of contact.
Utah DOC and the Sevier County Registry
The Utah Department of Corrections is the state agency responsible for managing sex offender registration statewide. This includes all offenders living in Sevier County. The DOC handles initial registration for people leaving prison or starting probation, maintains the database that powers the public registry, and enforces compliance through parole and probation officers. The DOC can be reached at corrections.utah.gov or by calling (801) 495-7700.
The DOC's corrections.utah.gov site includes information for offenders about registration obligations and for the public about how the registry works. Their phone line at (801) 495-7700 can direct you to the right unit if you need to report a compliance issue or get information about a specific case in Sevier County.

Registry records in Utah are public under Utah Code 63G-2. This statute governs access to government records in the state and makes most registry information available to anyone who asks. Some information, like victim details or information about juvenile offenders, may be withheld. But the offender's name, address, and conviction details are generally available to the public in Sevier County and everywhere else in Utah.
For broader searches that cover multiple states, use the national database at nsopw.gov. The NSOPW system pulls live data from all 50 state registries, including Utah, and is managed by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Sex Offender Registration Rules in Sevier County
All sex offenders living in Sevier County must follow Utah's statewide registration requirements. The annual fee is $100. Offenders must verify their information in person twice each year. Any change to their address, vehicle, employer, email, or other listed information must be reported to law enforcement within three business days. These deadlines are firm. Missing them results in a third-degree felony charge, which can carry up to five years in prison under Utah law.
Offenders convicted of crimes involving minors face additional restrictions in Sevier County. They cannot live, work, or loiter near schools, daycare centers, parks, playgrounds, or public swimming pools. These protected zones apply in both incorporated cities and unincorporated parts of the county. Violations of the zone rules are treated as separate offenses from registration failures and can result in additional criminal charges.
Utah's sex offender registry statutes were originally codified under Title 77, Chapter 41 of the Utah Code. In May 2025, the legislature reorganized these requirements into Title 53 as part of a broader public safety code restructuring. The obligations for offenders in Sevier County did not change as a result. Offenders who were previously registered under Title 77 remain registered and subject to all registration rules under Title 53.
People on the Utah registry cannot legally change their name while they are still required to register. This rule prevents offenders from using a legal name change to drop off the registry or make themselves harder to find in a county search. It applies to everyone on the registry in Sevier County regardless of conviction date.
