City of Clearfield

What City of Clearfield does

Clearfield City Corporation is a municipal government entity serving residents and businesses within Clearfield City, Davis County, Utah, providing the full suite of public-sector services across eight operational departments: Police (accredited by the Utah Chiefs of Police Association in January 2025), Public Works (water, sewer, storm water, streets, fleet), Community Services (Aquatic & Fitness Center, parks, recreation), Community Development (planning, permits, business licensing), Administration, Emergency Services, Justice Court, and Victim Services. The City is led by City Manager JJ Allen, with Mark Shepherd as Mayor, and operates from City Hall at 55 S State Street. The Aquatic & Fitness Center operates the WAVE Drowning Prevention System, a real-time sensor-based safety technology deployed in 2023 to monitor swimmers 12 and under.

The City is funded through a diversified revenue base of property taxes, sales tax (including the voter-approved PARAT Program — Parks, Arts, Recreation, Aquatics, Trails — generating a penny per $10 on non-food purchases, $2.5M cumulative since 2015), tiered water utility fees (conservation pricing adopted 2022), sewer and trash fees, business licensing fees (covering ~700 commercial businesses), permit fees, parks and recreation memberships, and a new Green Waste Program ($10.50/month) launched February 2025. Utility billing is tiered (residential tiers from 0–10,000 gallons upward with steepest pricing at 40,001–80,000+ gallons), and the City supplements purchased water from Weber Basin Conservancy District with city-owned wells during peak demand.

The City is pursuing significant economic development anchored by two major projects: Clearfield Station, a 56+-acre transit-oriented development adjacent to the FrontRunner station featuring 1,000 residential units, 67,500 sq ft commercial, 550,000 sq ft office, and a 2.25-acre park with $28M in horizontal infrastructure; and Lakeside Square, a mixed-use development on Mabey Pond adding 296 residential units and 26,500 sq ft commercial. Service delivery is regionally integrated through partnerships with North Davis Fire District, Layton City (consolidated dispatch as of November 28, 2023 — tripling per-shift dispatchers), North Davis Sewer District, Weber Basin Conservancy District, and UTA.
