The West Jordan City Council has passed Ordinance No. 26-54, which removes special business license requirements for numismatic and bullion dealers within the city. The ordinance was signed by Mayor Dirk Burton and published on November 2, 2026.
The City Council passed the ordinance on October 27, 2026, with a unanimous vote from the council members present. The voting members included Council Chair Jessica Wignall, Council Vice-Chair Kent Shelton, and Council Members Chad Lamb, Kayleen Whitelock, Annette Harris, Bob Bedore, and Zach Jacob.
The ordinance amends Title 4, Chapter 2, Article P of the 2009 West Jordan City Code. In reaching this decision, the City Council stated it considered the impacts of the ordinance on family health, stability, and formation. The Council found the amendments to be in the best interest of the public health, safety, and welfare of West Jordan residents.
Prior to this amendment, Article P required numismatic and bullion dealers to obtain both a valid city business license and a special city numismatic/bullion dealer license. The previous regulations included strict requirements for recordkeeping, such as maintaining a well-bound book for two years and providing copies of records to the police department upon request.
