How to Write a Utah Address (With Examples)

Address basics  |   |  2 min read

A correctly written Utah address helps mail and packages arrive on time, and it keeps your databases clean. This guide covers the format with real city and ZIP examples.

The standard format

RECIPIENT NAME STREET NUMBER AND NAME, UNIT CITY, UT ZIP CODE

The state is always written as UT, two capital letters with no periods. USPS prefers the city, state and ZIP on the same final line.

Example: Salt Lake City

Joseph Walker 1380 Birch Rd Salt Lake City, UT 84129

Example with an apartment in Salt Lake City

Andrew Patel 9368 Lincoln Blvd Apt 27 Salt Lake City, UT 84133

Example with a PO Box

Jennifer Smith PO Box 3764 Salt Lake City, UT 84114

PO Boxes often have their own ZIP code, separate from street addresses in the same town. Check the ZIP with the post office that holds the box.

Common mistakes

  • Writing the full state name or an old abbreviation instead of UT.
  • Putting the apartment number on a line below the street address.
  • Using a ZIP code from a neighboring city. One city can have many codes, but each street belongs to a specific one.

Counties and local details

Utah is divided into 29 counties. The county does not appear in a mailing address, but it matters for sales tax, elections and some shipping rules, so many business systems store it separately.
