A petition to annex multiple properties located in Uintah County, Utah, into Vernely City has been filed. The Vernal City Council has accepted the annexation petition for further consideration after receiving a Notice of Certification from the Vernal City Recorder on July 2, 2026.
The certification follows requirements set by Utah Code 10-2-808 (1)(a-c)(i).
The properties subject to the annexation petition include several parcels in Uintah County, specifically:

Under Utah Code 10-2-810, specific entities may file written protests if they do not favor the annexation.
