Salem is an incorporated city in Utah County, Utah, with an estimated population of 11,283 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 12.1 square miles of land. That is up about 1,988 residents since the 2020 Census base.
🏢 Salem City Hall
Salem's own city government keeps its local records: council or board meeting minutes, local ordinances and resolutions, local permits and licenses, and its own budget and contracts. Requests for those records go to the city clerk under Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). Birth and death certificates, marriage records, deeds and court files are generally kept by county and state offices rather than by the city; see the offices below.
