Section 8.04.030 Criminal actions.

It is unlawful and a misdemeanor violation for any person to maintain or assist in maintaining a nuisance after receiving notice to abate the same. Notice to abate a nuisance shall be given as a prerequisite to prosecution by delivering a copy of the notice to abate to the offender by personal service in the manner described in the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure, or by mailing a copy of the notice to abate to the offending party by certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested. The notice to abate shall reasonably describe the subject nuisance and the steps necessary to abate the same and shall require abatement to be completed in not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days. If the nuisance is not abated within the time frame given, each and every day shall be considered a separate violation and citations may be issued for each day not in compliance.
