There have been several changes and annexations in Utah since September 1, 2018; read on to learn about some of the general updates, as well as the specific changes and annexations for the last quarter of the 2018 calendar year.
General Updates
In 2018 we saw a growing trend of incorporating more towns into Utah, and in July 2018, Bluff in San Juan County was incorporated. There has been growth and expansion throughout the rest of the state as well: 93 annexations came through the Lieutenant Governor’s Office, with Utah County leading again with 31 annexations and Cache and Davis coming up next with a combined total of 21 annexations.
Our annual submission to the US Census Bureau Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) program will be done next month. All the updates from 2018 will be submitted. Boundary updates submitted will also be reflected in the American Community Survey (ACS) and Population Estimates Program (PEP) data estimates and in next year’s BAS materials.
