Yearly reports required for municipal candidates
Beginning May 6, 2026, covered Utah municipal candidates must file yearly campaign reports with the municipal clerk or recorder. Reports are due by 5 p.m. January 10 after the municipal general election, then each year until formal account closure. If January 10 is not a business day, the deadline moves to the next business day at 5 p.m. Reports must show the December 31 balance, annual contribution and spending totals, and transaction details not previously reported. Candidates must certify that all contributions and spending have been reported. Late filing brings a required $100 fine, with a reasonable chance to show why payment is not required. Payment is due on the last business day at least 30 calendar days after the fine is imposed. Municipalities may require stricter reporting.
Candidates can end reports after account closure
Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah municipal candidates can end yearly reporting by filing an account dissolution statement with the municipal clerk or recorder. Candidates must first stop receiving contributions and spending campaign money. Before filing, they must return leftover funds to donors, donate to a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charity, or make lawful political expenditures. Their latest year-end report and campaign account must both show zero balances. They must also attach a final year-end report showing a zero balance.
