Utah Late Fee Laws

Last reviewed: July 10, 2026

Maximum late fee
Greater of 10% of rent or $75
Grace period
None required
Statute
Utah Code § 57-22-4(5)

Utah caps residential late fees at the greater of 10% of the rent or $75 under Utah Code § 57-22-4(5). A lease can agree to less, but a fee above the statutory limit is generally unenforceable no matter what the lease says.

Utah's statute doesn't impose a waiting period, so the lease controls when a late fee may be charged. Charging from day one is legal here only if the lease says so explicitly.

Utah caps the late fee at the greater of 10% of the agreed rent or $75, and bars any fee or charge not included in the rental agreement — for month-to-month tenancies a new charge requires 15 days' notice.
