Frequently Asked Questions

Are golf carts street legal in Utah?

Only in cities that have approved them. Under Utah Code § 41-6a-1510, a municipality may allow golf carts on specified highways by ordinance, and a person may not operate a golf cart on a highway unless the city has authorized it. The operator must hold a valid driver's license, and each city sets the permitted streets, hours, and equipment. Related: Golf carts in Utah

How do I make a golf cart street legal in Utah?

For statewide road use, register a factory-built low-speed vehicle that meets FMVSS 500 under Utah Code § 41-6a-1508 — a standard golf cart can't be converted. For city-street use, confirm your municipality has a golf cart ordinance under § 41-6a-1510. TIGON delivers factory-certified LSVs across Utah; call 1-844-844-6638. Related: Shop Low Speed Vehicles
