Toquerville City

What Toquerville City does

Toquerville City is the incorporated municipal government of Toquerville, Utah, founded in 1916, serving residents, property owners, developers, and businesses within its city limits. The city delivers core public services through a staff of approximately 22 employees organized into Administration, Building Inspections, Cemetery, Code Enforcement, Culture & Recreation, Licensing & Permitting, Parks, Planning & Zoning, and Public Works departments. Governance is provided by an elected Mayor (Dan Catlin), a five-member City Council, and a five-member Planning Commission, with a City Manager (Ben Billingsley) overseeing day-to-day operations.

The city's technology stack is built on a CivicPlus-hosted municipal website integrated with third-party SaaS platforms: XpressBillPay for online property tax and utility payments, CivicReview for facility rentals and citizen concern reporting, AM Legal for the online city code library, and Utah CityInspect for building permit applications. Resident-facing services are delivered through both walk-in office operations (212 N Toquer Blvd, Monday-Thursday 9am-4pm) and self-serve digital portals. Specialized utilities such as water, sewer, solid waste, and burn permits are delivered through intergovernmental partnerships with the Washington County Water Conservancy District, Washington County Solid Waste, Ash Creek Special Service District, and Washington City.

Revenue is generated through property tax collection (subject to an annual Truth in Taxation public hearing), recurring utility service fees, one-time licensing and permitting fees (building permits, burn permits, business licenses), and transaction-based facility rental fees. Specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The city is actively executing a published Strategic Plan 2025 and has recently reconstituted its Planning Commission with staggered terms through 2029, indicating sustained governance focus on zoning, development approvals, and operational planning for the Washington County growth corridor.
