US-UT / Utah Code § 38-8-3(5) (content); (1)(b), (3)-(4) (recipients/delivery)

Self-storage software for Utah operators.

Utah's self-storage lien statute encoded day-by-day: first notice at D+30, sale eligibility at D+45, with publication, delivery, surplus, and fee guardrails pulled from Utah Code § 38-8-3.

What UnitOps does differently for Utah operators

Built around the Utah statute, not retrofitted onto generic PMS.

  • 01 The lien clock starts with Notice of Claim at D+30, holds 15 days before Notice of Sale at D+45 under Utah Code § 38-8-3(7)(a), keeps the auction gate closed until D+45, with citations Utah Code § 38-8-3(5) and Utah Code §§ 38-8-1 to 38-8-5.
  • 02 Vehicle and titled-property units stay on a separate tow-vs-lien track at D+60; the policy row marks tow as extinguishing the storage lien under Utah Code §§ 38-8-1 to 38-8-5.
  • 03 Publication is required with a 15-day sale lead and one newspaper publication or certified mail with evidence of mailing under Utah Code §§ 38-8-1 to 38-8-5. Delivery evidence tracks Notice of Claim by in person, verified mail, and email (with the occupant's consent) and Notice of Sale by newspaper publication.
  • 04 Surplus is held for 1 year (365 days); then routes to the Utah state treasurer — owner holds surplus for delivery to the occupant, lienholder, or other person in interest; if unclaimed within one year of the sale date it passes to. Run your own payment processor and your own QuickBooks — UnitOps never sits in the middle of either.

Lien evidence packet

Built for the day you get sued.

For Utah cases, the packet presents the evidence trail beside the policy snapshot that was pinned when the case opened. It lists notices, delivery proof, ledger entries, photos, and state changes in chronological order. It presents records and citations only. The downloadable sample uses fictional seeded data with redacted names and a SAMPLE watermark.
