What this means for firm owners in Utah
Each PE needs 30 PDH per biennium. Up to 15 PDH can carry forward to the next period.
Utah PE licenses expire March 31 of odd-numbered years, and the renewal cycle is every two years. Track each licensed employee’s expiration date and plan ahead so renewals do not disrupt project work.
If you hire a PE licensed elsewhere, confirm the Utah comity process with the board.
Owner checklist
- Record each Utah PE’s license expiration date and plan for the March 31 odd-year deadline.
- Confirm renewal steps and any PDH requirements or carryover rules on the board site.
- For an out-of-state PE hire, confirm Utah comity requirements and NCEES Record procedures with the board.
- Check the board site for firm registration requirements before providing engineering services.
