Utah Association of Counties (UAC)
resource active confidence: Medium status: Draft updated 2026-08-11
Summary
The Utah Association of Counties (UAC) is the statewide association representing Utah's 29 county governments. Entrepreneurs seeking hands-on company support should use county economic-development offices or business resource centers rather than treating UAC as a general startup service.
Who It's For
County commissioners, county staff, and appointed officials seeking training, policy advocacy, and peer networks. Secondary relevance to founders only when navigating county-level permits, incentives, or rural programs administered through counties.
What It Provides
Annual conference and events, policy steering committees, legal and training resources for counties, job board for county government roles, and partner-sponsored programming. Contact: admin@utahcounties.org, (801) 265-1331, 5397 S Vine St, Murray, UT 84107.
How To Use It
Start with the official website, then confirm current programs before recommending.

Cost / Eligibility
UAC services target county governments and their officials. Private founders should contact their county economic-development or SBDC office rather than UAC membership channels unless participating in a public event.
Best Fits
Founders trying to understand which county office handles a permit, rural grant, or incentive—and who need the association only as a directory hop to county government.
Poor primary fit for mentorship, funding, or accelerator-style startup support.
