Bluffs, Dales and Porter Rockwell's Hot Springs
Settlers arrived in 1848 and 1849, when the area was still part of West Jordan. On July 29, 1858, Orrin Porter Rockwell paid $500 for sixteen acres near the Crystal Hot Lakes, a place with the Hot Springs Hotel and Brewery and a pony express station.

Who licenses pets in Bluffdale?
Salt Lake County Animal Services, which took over Bluffdale's animal services under a contract that began on January 1, 2017. Cats, dogs and ferrets are licensed by five months of age, or within 30 days of moving in or getting the pet.
How much is a pet license for a Bluffdale resident?
$25 for a sterilized cat, dog or ferret, $50 for one that is not sterilized, and $10 for a sterilized pet owned by a senior aged 60 or older. A late license adds a $50 penalty.
What happens if I apply online but do not send the paperwork?
If Salt Lake County does not receive your vaccination and sterilization paperwork within 30 days, the license expires and you have to restart the process and pay the fee again.
How do I transfer a pet license or replace a lost tag?
Salt Lake County Animal Services charges $15 to transfer a license and $15 for a replacement tag.
Can a Bluffdale pet get a free microchip?
Yes. Any pet with a current Salt Lake County license can get a free lifetime microchip, inserted on a walk-in basis Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Does the HUD change affect Bluffdale renters with an ESA?
Since May 2026, HUD no longer presumes that an untrained ESA is a required accommodation, so those requests are decided on their facts. Utah Code 26B-6-803 still bars extra fees or deposits for a support animal that qualifies under federal law.
