About Unincorporated Salt Lake County

There are 23 municipalities in Salt Lake County, but outside of those municipalities, 11,454 unincorporated residents find their home. Unincorporated Salt Lake County features extremely diverse lands: the Wasatch Canyons, the southern shore of the Great Salt Lake, the high country areas along the Oquirrh Mountains, residential pockets in Salt Lake City's suburbs, and the Kennecott Copper Mine. Each of these areas has unique planning needs. 

The Unincorporated Areas are governed by the Mayor of Salt Lake County and the Salt Lake County Council. Unincorporated Salt Lake County is also served by two planning Commissions: Salt Lake County Planning Commission and Mountainous Planning District Planning Commission. The unincorporated areas pool resources with the Metro Townships and the Town of Brighton through the Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District.

Several volunteer community councils are active in the Unincorporated Areas. Reach out to the Association of Community Councils Together (ACCT) to find the community council nearest to you.
