Aimed at curbing large-scale corporate ownership of single-family rental homes, this bill requires all owners of single-family rental homes in Utah to register those properties with the Division of Real Estate by October 1, 2026, or within 30 days of first renting, with a $100-per-month penalty for each unregistered home. Starting in 2027, owners of 25 or more single-family rentals must pay an annual excise tax per home — ranging from $2,000 to $6,000 depending on the size of their portfolio — with revenue flowing into a new Housing Transition Redevelopment Fund. That fund supports a competitive grant program through which cities and towns can apply for money to help convert single-family rentals owned by large investors into owner-occupied, price-restricted homes.
