Utah Agricultural Protection Areas

Last update · July 2022

Category: Farming Data Type: Polygon GIS data Steward: UDAF

This layer compiles Utah property parcels that have been included in an Agriculture Protection Area (APA) resolution. APAs are approved by the county in which they are located, and catalogued by Utah Department of Agriculture and Food. APAs provide legal protection for agricultural land uses and activities, it also provides notice to neighboring landowners that they border an APA and should expect normal agricultural activities to take place. Not every county has created APAs; Sanpete and Sevier Counties have created APAs, but they are currently not included in this dataset.
