Trespass
Utah Code 76-6-206 — a class B misdemeanor, and class A in a dwelling
Criminal trespass is entering or remaining unlawfully on property intending annoyance or injury to a person or damage to property, intending a crime other than theft or a felony, or recklessly causing fear for someone's safety.
Who handles this in Utah: legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Utah directory.
It is also entering or remaining, knowing it is unlawful, on property where notice against entry was given by the owner or someone with apparent authority in person, by fencing or another enclosure obviously meant to keep intruders out, or by signs reasonably likely to be seen.
- Flying an unmanned aircraft over property unlawfully counts the same way.
- Trespass is a class B misdemeanor, and a class A misdemeanor when committed in a dwelling.
