Utah robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA covers everyone in Utah. The state’s own solicitation act adds Sunday and holiday bans and an autodialer rule.
Two laws protect Utah residents
The TCPA is the federal engine behind every robocall claim. Utah’s solicitation act adds rules that are tighter than the federal ones in a few places.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in Utah, no matter the state rules.
- Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
- $500 to $1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
- You can sue personally, you don’t wait on the government.
Telephone and Facsimile Solicitation Act, Utah Code § 13-25a-101 et seq.
What Utah adds on top of the federal rules.
- Calling hours: no solicitation calls between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m., on a Sunday, or on a legal holiday without prior express consent (§ 13-25a-103).
- Autodialers: a person may not operate an automated telephone dialing system to make a telephone solicitation, with limited exceptions.
- Caller ID and stop requests: solicitors may not withhold their number from caller ID and must end the solicitation when you give a negative response.
- Enforcement: the Division of Consumer Protection can issue cease and desist orders and administrative fines of $100 to $2,500 per violation (§ 13-25a-105).
How the law works in Utah
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, is a federal law, so it protects a phone in Salt Lake City the same way it protects one in West Valley City, West Jordan or Provo. It bars autodialed and prerecorded calls and texts to cell phones without consent and bars telemarketing calls to numbers on the national Do Not Call Registry. Each illegal call or text carries $500 in statutory damages, and up to $1,500 when the violation was willful or knowing. Those figures stack per call, so a campaign that hits an 801 or 385 number every day can turn into a meaningful claim.
Utah does not run a separate state no-call list. Registration on the national Do Not Call Registry is what counts here, and Utah law folds the federal rules in by requiring solicitors to comply with 47 U.S.C. § 227. What Utah adds is the Telephone and Facsimile Solicitation Act, Utah Code § 13-25a-101 et seq. Section 13-25a-103 bars solicitation calls between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m., on Sundays and on legal holidays unless you gave prior express consent, bars the use of an automated telephone dialing system for solicitations outside narrow exceptions, requires solicitors to identify themselves and the business at the start of the call, forbids withholding their number from caller ID, and requires them to stop when you say no. The Utah Division of Consumer Protection, part of the Department of Commerce, enforces the act with cease and desist orders and administrative fines of $100 to $2,500 per violation under § 13-25a-105. Those fines go to the state. Your recovery comes from the federal TCPA, and a Sunday or holiday sales call is helpful evidence that the caller was not following the rules.
Federal TCPA suits from anywhere in Utah are filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, which sits in Salt Lake City. Cases are handled nationwide under the federal TCPA. Local counsel is associated where Utah rules require it. Max Morgan, Esq. is licensed in Pennsylvania and reviews call records at no charge; there is no attorney’s fee unless you recover. The federal TCPA limitations period is generally four years, but shorter deadlines can apply to state claims, so talk to us before assuming there is time.

Utah robocall FAQs
Does Utah have its own Do Not Call list?
No. Utah does not maintain a separate state list. Registering on the national Do Not Call Registry at donotcall.gov is the step that matters, and Utah Code § 13-25a-103 requires solicitors to comply with the federal rules under 47 U.S.C. § 227. Once you are on the national list, a telemarketing call that ignores it can support a TCPA claim.
Which court would a Utah robocall case go to?
TCPA cases are federal, so a Utah claim is usually filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah in Salt Lake City. That court covers the entire state, from Logan to St. George. We review your call records before deciding where and how to file.
Do I need a Utah lawyer for a robocall case?
Not necessarily. The TCPA is a federal law, so the attorney bringing the claim does not have to be based in Utah. Cases are handled nationwide under the federal TCPA, and local counsel is associated where Utah rules require it. Your review is free and there is no attorney’s fee unless you recover.
Does Utah law add anything to the federal TCPA?
Yes, in a few ways. The Telephone and Facsimile Solicitation Act bans sales calls on Sundays and legal holidays, bars automated dialing systems for solicitation, forbids hiding the caller’s number from caller ID, and requires the caller to stop when you say no. The Division of Consumer Protection enforces those rules with administrative fines. The money claim for you still comes from the federal TCPA.
What are Utah’s calling hours for telemarketers?
Utah Code § 13-25a-103 bars telephone solicitations to residential or cellular phones between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. local time, on any Sunday, and on any legal holiday, unless you gave prior express consent. A call in one of those windows violates Utah law, and if it was autodialed or prerecorded it may also be a TCPA violation worth $500 to $1,500.
