Utah Legal Framework for Home Services M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Restricted to 1-year maximum under 2016 statutory reform

Restricted under the Utah Post-Employment Restrictions Act (Utah Code Section 34-51-101 et seq., effective May 10, 2016). Non-compete agreements are limited to one year from the date of termination. The Act applies to non-competes entered into after May 10, 2016. Broader restrictions may remain enforceable under agreements predating the Act. Standard reasonableness requirements apply within the one-year period.

Tax Considerations

Utah Code 59-7-104, as amended by 2026 S.B. 60, sets a 4.45% corporate tax rate for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Review apportionment, federal conformity and any proposed tax-credit treatment with a tax adviser.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. Annual reports are required. The State Tax Commission handles tax clearance for asset purchases.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Utah has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). The Utah State Tax Commission may assert successor liability against asset purchasers for the seller's unpaid taxes. A tax clearance should be obtained before closing.
