Utah homeschool laws
Requirements summary
As of May 2025, Utah requires a one-time written notice to the local school board of the child's district of residence when a parent withdraws a child from school to homeschool or chooses not to enroll a school-age child. A letter of intent is enough, and it replaces the old home school affidavit. The board must keep a record and acknowledge receipt within 30 days. Families who already notified the board on or before May 7, 2025 (including by affidavit) do not need to file again. No annual filing is required, and the board may not require records of instruction, teacher credentials, home inspections or testing.
Expect a one-time or yearly notice. Some states in this group also ask for testing or records; see below.
