Municipal Service District Amendments

SB 328 requires municipal services districts (MSDs) to increase transparency when preparing planning or zoning proposals for municipalities. Specifically, MSDs must analyze how proposed changes might impact property values, consult an independent third party on potential consequences, identify affected properties by address or parcel number, and provide this analysis to the municipality. The bill also mandates that at least one MSD board member or employee attend all public meetings where a municipality considers an MSD-proposed planning or zoning recommendation. These changes apply directly to MSDs and the municipalities they serve in Utah. The bill takes effect on May 6, 2026, with no new funding required.
