Honest screening
Utah Code 26B-6-805 makes misleading a provider for support animal papers a class C misdemeanor.
Housing protection
Private housing may not add a fee or deposit for a qualifying support animal under 26B-6-803.

Homesteads Named for the Highlands
Homesteaders settled Highland in the 1870s, and Scottish immigrants among them gave it its name because the land reminded them of the highlands of Scotland. The city grew from 15,523 people in 2010 to 19,348 in 2020, and its public schools belong to the Alpine School District.
