New Resident Information

Welcome to Fillmore City! As a new resident, we have compiled this information page that we hope you will find helpful. We are eager and willing to help you with any questions or concerns you may have. Should you need further assistance, please call the city offices at 743-5233 or come in and see us at 75 West Center Street.

GARBAGE: Garbage pickup is contracted with a private company. You are allowed to place up to three (3) cans weighing less than 50 lbs. each on the street right-of-way on garbage day. The city offices can tell you which day is your pickup day. You should remove the cans as soon as possible after they have been dumped. Household waste, small shrubbery, and clippings are allowed. Limbs, stumps, rocks, concrete, construction waste, lumber, and appliances are not allowed and must be taken east of town to the landfill site. This site is operated by Millard County and is open Thursday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

SIDEWALKS, CURBS, GUTTERS: We ask that our citizens help maintain the sidewalk in front of their property. Please shovel them in the winter within 24 hours of a storm. Spray for weeds and keep the gutter clean in the summer months. Be careful planting trees and shrubbery species whose roots may damage or crack the sidewalk. You are not allowed to obstruct or park on the sidewalks.

FENCES: Generally, frontage fences need to be placed three feet in from the sidewalk and may not be taller than 4 feet. Fences on side lots must be 8 feet back from the front property line when located next to a driveway that will restrict visibility and can be up to 6 feet in height. A building permit is required to build a fence over 6 feet in height. You may obtain a copy of this ordinance for additional restrictions.

ANIMALS: In our rural community, animals are allowed within the city limits. However, there are some restrictions on the number of animals per square foot for cow, sheep, and livestock. All dogs must be licensed and vaccinated. You may not have more than three dogs without a kennel permit. Pit bulls and pit bull hybrid dogs are not allowed in Fillmore City. Your dog must be kept on your property or on a leash when it is off your property. Fillmore City encourages you to spay or neuter your dogs. We post the date and times of discount mobile vet clinics when available.

UTILITIES: Your utility bill will be sent from the city offices. This includes charges for electricity, sewer, garbage, and water. This bill is due on the 15th of each month. A drop box is located next to the drive up window for after hours convenience. If you have questions or concerns with making your payment, please call us. We are here to help you. If you have water shares with the Fillmore Water Users Association, (pressurized sprinkler system) you must contact them directly. They are not affiliated with the city, and maintain their own system and collect their own fees.

STREET RIGHT OF WAY: Feel free to use the city right of way in front of your home for parking your personal licensed vehicles. However, inoperable and unlicensed vehicles may not be stored in front of your house on city property. Other things such as debris, feed, lumber, etc. may not be left on the right of way between your property and the street. Trailers and campers may be parked for short periods of time, but may not be stored on the city right of way. You may receive a warning tag and subsequent fines if these items are identified and not removed. The right of way needs to be kept free and clear for our crews to maintain utilities and roads.

BUILDING PERMITS: A building permit and inspection is required for new construction, additions, remodeling, roofing, or HVAC/electrical upgrade. This permit is for your protection to insure construction is correctly accomplished to code requirements. You may obtain this permit from the city offices.

BUSINESS LICENSES: Citizens doing business in Fillmore City must apply for a business license. This is an easy procedure and we can help you. You may also need a sign permit for advertising your business. This information can be obtained from the city offices.

PROBLEMS: Citizens are encouraged to be considerate and understanding neighbors. Should you experience animal or zoning problems with your neighbor, please try as best you can to resolve it. However, if the problem continues, we can help you.

POLICE & FIRE PROTECTION: Millard County Sheriff's office provides police protection for Fillmore City. Citizens are encouraged to be watchful and helpful in patrolling their neighborhoods. Fillmore City sponsors a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) which citizens are encouraged to attend. The Fillmore City Volunteer Fire Department provides fire protection. Fillmore City appreciates the fine protection we receive from our police and volunteers.

PURCHASE OF PROPERTY: Please fully investigate any property you may be considering purchasing to insure that utilities are present at the site. Extension of utility lines to properties that are not currently serviced is solely at the expense of the property owner.

We hope you have found this information helpful. Residents are encouraged to attend public meetings and hearings and to be involved in the community. If there is any further information or assistance you may need, please call 743-5233.
