Utah: total loss threshold and rebuilt title rules
What Utah’s own pages print, word for word. Kind of rule, by our sorting: Repair cost against value.
This is a reference to quoted official text, not legal, tax, insurance or professional advice. Rules change; confirm with the agency before acting.
Total Loss Threshold is an independent reference. It is not a government site and is not affiliated with any state agency, legislature or insurance company.
When is a vehicle salvage or a total loss in Utah, in the state’s words?
“damaged by collision, flood, or other occurrence to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or”
“that has been declared a salvage vehicle by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction, but is not precluded from further registration and titling.”
Citation as the page prints it: As used in Sections 41-1a-1001 through 41-1a-1008
(Utah Code 41-1a-1001, Definitions, read November 11, 2026)
The quoted sentence prints no percentage. It compares the repair cost with the value itself, and the tool does the same.
We found no inspection or fee sentence in the sections we read.
Compare your figures with Utah’s quoted rule
The tool shows the sentence the state prints and does the arithmetic that sentence describes on the figures you type. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is saved.

What fee does Utah print?
We did not find a fee sentence on an official page a plain request could read. That is our search coming up empty on November 11, 2026, not a statement that there is no fee.
What do the pages print about the title afterwards?
“the title shall be branded:”
“rebuilt and restored to operation;”
