Summit County Quick Facts
Summit County Sheriff Sex Offender Enforcement
The Summit County Sheriff handles sex offender registration oversight for most of the county. Offenders who live in Coalville, Heber Valley communities, or unincorporated parts of Summit County report to the sheriff's office when they arrive, when they move, or when their information changes. The sheriff's website at summitcounty.org provides contact information for the department. The sheriff works directly with the Utah Department of Corrections to keep the state registry updated with accurate Summit County data.
The summitcounty.org site is the official county web portal. The sheriff's page there includes contact numbers, office location, and general information about law enforcement services in Summit County. If you need to report a registration violation or ask about an offender in your area, the sheriff's office is your first contact outside of the state registry.
In Park City, the Park City Police Department has jurisdiction within city limits. Park City residents with questions about offenders in their neighborhood can contact the city police directly. They share data with the county sheriff and state registry system to keep records consistent across Summit County.
Search the Summit County Sex Offender Registry
To search for registered sex offenders in Summit County, go to sor.utah.gov. The site lets you search by county, city, zip code, or name. Results include current address, photo, description, and offense information. The registry is public under Utah Code 63G-2 and free to use. You do not need to create an account or provide any personal information to run a search.
The national registry at nsopw.gov also includes Summit County offenders through Utah's data feed. Use the NSOPW if you are looking for someone who may have moved across state lines. It pulls live data from all 50 states and Washington D.C. This is especially relevant for Summit County given the area's high visitor and seasonal resident population, which can include people registered in other states who spend extended time in the area.
OffenderWatch Alerts for Summit County
Utah connects its sex offender registry to the OffenderWatch platform for community notifications. This is not a private data company. OffenderWatch is a law enforcement technology vendor that works under contract with the Utah DOC. Residents in Summit County can register for free alerts through OffenderWatch, which sends notifications when a registered sex offender moves within a set distance of your address or a location you specify.
The OffenderWatch platform integrates with Utah's central registry, so any new registration or address update in Summit County can trigger a community alert within hours. This tool is widely used across the state and works well for residents who want ongoing awareness without having to manually search the state registry on a regular basis.
Note: OffenderWatch notifications supplement the public registry. They do not replace the official state database at sor.utah.gov as the primary record of registration in Summit County.
Sex Offender Registration Requirements in Summit County
Every registered sex offender in Summit County must comply with Utah's statewide rules. The annual registration fee is $100. Offenders must appear in person twice a year to verify their information. If anything changes, including home address, vehicle, employer, or online accounts, the offender has three business days to report the update. Missing this window is a third-degree felony under Utah law, punishable by up to five years in state prison.
People who move to Summit County from another state must register within 10 days of establishing residency in Utah. This applies to both full-time residents and seasonal residents who spend significant time in the area. The law does not create exemptions for part-year residents or vacation homeowners who are registered in another state but spend regular time in Summit County. If you are registered elsewhere and spend time in Utah, you may be required to register here as well depending on the length and nature of your stay.
Offenders convicted of crimes against minors face additional restrictions in Summit County. They cannot live near or frequent schools, daycare facilities, public parks, playgrounds, or swimming pools. These protected zones apply throughout the county, including unincorporated areas near ski resorts and resort communities. Violation of these zone restrictions is a separate criminal offense from failing to register.
Utah's sex offender statutes were reorganized from Title 77, Chapter 41 to Title 53 in May 2025. The obligations for offenders in Summit County did not change. Anyone currently registered continues under the same rules with the same enforcement mechanisms.

Utah's sex offender registry is a public record under GRAMA, which means any member of the public can request and view the data.

Some information may be withheld if it relates to juvenile adjudications or sealed cases, but most adult offenders in Summit County appear in the full public record.
