Moving to Marriott-Slaterville, Utah

Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, NOAA, USGS, the Utah State Tax Commission, Utah State Archives, and Marriott-Slaterville City. Prices move, so ask me for current numbers.

Marriott-Slaterville is a small city of about 2,290 people on flat farm ground and river bottom, just west of Ogden in Weber County. It covers about 7.4 square miles. The Census count was 2,135 in 2020, so the city has grown by about 7% since then. City Hall sits at about 4,250 feet, and the whole city spans only about 55 feet of height. The low point is about 4,215 feet on the northwest farm ground. The high point is about 4,270 feet on the east edge, by 12th Street and the river.

Ogden touches the city on the east. Farr West is to the north and Plain City to the northwest. West Haven lies to the south, across the Weber River. County farm ground, called West Weber, runs along the west and southwest edges. Harrisville does not touch the city. I-15 runs through town, signed as I-15 and I-84 together here. Two exits sit inside the city, Exit 344 at 12th Street and Exit 346 at 400 North. Downtown Ogden is about 10 minutes away, and Salt Lake City is about 45. The county offices are in Ogden.

The Weber River runs along the south line of the city. Its main channel is the legal line with West Haven, and it then crosses the west side. The Ogden River joins the Weber at the southeast corner of the city, by River Cove Trail Head.

Two pioneer farm settlements came first, both from the early 1850s. Marriott was named for early settler John Marriott. Slaterville was named for early settler Richard Slater, and the city’s plan puts it just north of Marriott. Today the two city parks carry the old names. J. Willard Marriott, who founded the Marriott hotel chain, was born in Marriott. The state’s incorporation file names the town as his birthplace. The Marriott name was on the map here long before it was on hotels.

In the mid-1990s both communities became townships. In 1997 the Legislature took away the townships’ power to control their borders. It also changed the incorporation law so that neither one could become a city alone. The two joined instead. Voters chose to incorporate on August 4, 1998, and the same vote picked a council and mayor form of government. Marriott-Slaterville became a city on July 1, 1999. The incorporation committee said it would be the first city formed under the 1997 law.

In 1999 the Utah House named it an open space preservation city. That was a House resolution, passed 64 to 0 on February 25, 1999. It encouraged the city to write a model zoning rule that protects open space. The city’s 2018 plan draft calls the resolution “the city’s vision statement.” The same draft sets a goal of a park or open space every half mile.

Money is the other half of the story. The city levies no property tax of its own, and the city’s charges come as fees on one bill instead. In April 2021 the city also drew up a plan for about 133 acres by 400 North and I-15. It would put part of the new tax growth there into roads and pipes for up to 15 years. That is a plan, not a finished project.

The city posts a September 2018 first draft of its general plan. A hearing on September 15, 2026 took up a change to the zone definitions for the manufacturing and commercial zones. The city also posts a 2023 map of land it might annex. The Riverview land on 1200 South, west of the Weber, joined the city about 2021.

Marriott-Slaterville has four real seasons. Summers are hot and dry. Winters are cold, with snow from November through April. Spring and fall are mild. NOAA keeps no weather station in town. The temperatures below come from its 1991 to 2020 normals at the old Ogden Sugar Factory station. That station was about 2.5 miles south, on the same flat ground.

That station closed in 2009, so its record is short, 10 to 18 years. It runs a few degrees warmer than the two long-record stations nearby, Brigham City and the Ogden airport. Each of those averages about 91°F in July. Do not read this city’s 95 against another town’s 89 as proof that one town is six degrees hotter. Part of the gap is the short record.

Each season has a local twist. In summer, the Pioneer district’s pressurized yard water runs the lawns in the newer subdivisions. The utilities topic explains who supplies yard water. In fall, the cottonwoods along the Weber turn gold. In spring, the Weber runs full on snowmelt. The city’s plan says floods here come from fast melt between late April and early July.

Month by month

These are the normal highs and lows for each month. Summer nights cool off. A normal July night drops to about 62°F.

Source: NOAA climate normals, 1991 to 2020, Ogden Sugar Factory station. The record is short and ended in 2009.

Rain and melted snow add up to about 19 inches a year. That figure also rests on a short record. January and December are the wettest months. July and August are the driest.

Frost dates matter if you garden. The last spring freeze is usually around April 22, and the first fall freeze around October 18. That leaves about 177 frost-free days. In one year out of ten, the last frost comes as late as May 9.

For the day to day side, see Marriott-Slaterville on The Local.

Marriott-Slaterville gets about 38 inches of snow in a normal year. No station in town keeps snow normals. This is NOAA’s figure for Brigham City, about 18 miles north on the same flat ground. NOAA marks the figure as provisional.

January is the snowiest month, with about 12 inches. December brings about 8.6 and February about 7.5. March and November each bring about 4. Snow can start in October, with about half an inch, and can fall into April. From May through September there is none. December through February brings about 28 of the 38 inches.

For the bigger picture on snow and water in Utah, read my guide on Utah water and snowpack. Ski days are covered in the skiing topic.

Summers are hot and dry. A normal July afternoon reaches about 95°F at the old Ogden Sugar Factory station. Nights fall to about 62°F, so the house cools off after dark. That station has a short record and runs warmer than the two long-record stations nearby, so the true figure may sit a few degrees lower.

Hot days still come. On the old station’s record, about 65 days a year reach 90°F or hotter. August is close behind July, with highs near 94°F. July and August are also the driest months.

Summer is also the season for ozone, a gas that forms on hot, sunny days. The air quality topic below has the details.

Marriott-Slaterville has no wind record. No wind gauge sits in town, and there is no long record to read. So there is no local number to give, and I will not guess one. The open farm ground gives the wind room to move.

Here is what I would check instead. Look at the trees, the fences and the roof of any home you tour. Ask how the home did in the last big wind.

The home checks topic has the rest of the list for a home you tour.

Yes, in winter, like the rest of the Wasatch Front. An inversion is when cold air gets trapped in a valley under a lid of warmer air. On calm winter days, haze builds in that trapped air. The Weber-Morgan Health Department says winter inversions trap haze over the flat low ground. No air monitor sits in Marriott-Slaterville, so the figures below are county ones.

What the EPA says

Part of Weber County is in the Northern Wasatch Front area for the 2015 ozone standard. Ozone is a gas that forms on hot, sunny days. EPA lists that area as Serious, which means it does not meet the standard. On April 21, 2026, EPA proposed to repeal the Serious classification. That was not final at the last EPA list, dated September 30, 2026.

Fine particles, called PM2.5, are the main winter haze concern. Part of Weber County is in the Salt Lake City area for the 2006 PM2.5 standard. That area has been a maintenance area for fine particles since December 2025. That means it now meets the standard and has a plan to keep it that way.

EPA lists only part of the county in each area. Check the EPA map to see whether an address falls inside.

Here is what I would do. Check the air each day on the state’s air quality site, the way you check the weather. If air matters to you, visit during a gray winter stretch and a hot summer afternoon before you buy.

Weber County also runs a vehicle emissions test. The first 90 days topic covers it.

The house is the biggest cost of living in Marriott-Slaterville. The glance box at the top of this page shows the latest typical home value, from the U.S. Census. I would rather show you the parts of a budget than one made-up index number.

The city charges no property tax, so its costs come as fees. They arrive on one monthly bill from Bona Vista Water Improvement District. That bill carries Bona Vista’s water plus the city’s sewer, garbage, recycling, storm water and other lines. Bona Vista says those city lines “are determined by the city.” I found no 2026 dollar amounts for them, so I will not guess. Ask the seller for a recent bill.

Two figures on that bill are posted. Bona Vista’s base charge is $11.38 a month for a three-quarter-inch meter. The more water you use, the higher the price per gallon. The district has set its drought stage to Severe since April 9, 2026. Homes in the newer subdivisions may also pay the Pioneer Special Service District. Its fee is $40 a month for a typical home, shown as “Enhanced Services” on the bill. It pays for pressurized yard water. I have not added these into a total, because the city lines are not posted.

Yard water for an older home may come from another company, such as Mountain View Irrigation or Pine View Water. Ask the seller which one serves the lot. There is no grocery store inside the city, so the weekly shop is a short drive. The shopping topic has the options.

Against Ogden, you trade city services and sidewalks for bigger lots, farm neighbors and a quieter street. Against Plain City and Farr West, you are comparing the same kind of farm-edge value. The lot, the water and the flood map decide it. I can lay out a side-by-side for the homes you are weighing.

Want a side-by-side for your budget? Tell me what you are weighing.

Sources: U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2020 to 2024), the Utah State Tax Commission, the Bona Vista Water rate and bill pages, the Pioneer Special Service District page, and the June 18, 2026 city council minutes. Costs change, so ask me for current numbers.

For general information only. This is not tax or financial advice. Tax rates and home prices change. Consult a qualified professional for guidance specific to your situation.

Four taxes matter most when you move here: sales tax, a city energy tax, state income tax, and property tax. The table shows each one for Marriott-Slaterville.

The city says it charges no property tax. The city council minutes of June 18, 2026 put it this way: “The City does not impose any property taxes.” The county’s municipal services levy does not apply here either.

Utah gives a tax break on the home you live in. A primary home is taxed on 55% of its market value, not the full value. Short-term rentals and empty homes do not qualify. From January 1, 2027, a new owner must apply for the break. Ask about it at closing.

Your bill still comes from several taxing groups. They are Weber County, Weber School District, Weber Basin Water, Bona Vista, mosquito control, Weber Fire District and Weber Area Dispatch 911. Central Weber Sewer is on 9 of the city’s 15 tax areas. The 2025 totals were about 0.56% of market value at City Hall, in tax area 362. They were about 0.53% on the west farm ground, in area 361. The glance box shows the county average, about 0.60%.

Weber Fire District proposed a 23.58% increase in its property tax revenue for 2026, to build new stations. Its hearing was in November 2025. I did not find the final vote, so check the county tax notice for a home you like.

The energy tax is new. The council adopted a 6% rate on June 18, 2026, by a vote of 5 to 0. It raises about $10,000 a month. Half goes to grant matches and half to a future city cemetery. The Tax Commission collected 6% by mistake for about six months before that and is refunding it.

Sources: the Utah State Tax Commission (sales and energy tax tables from October 1, 2026, and the 2025 levy report), the Weber County tax area list for 2025, and the June 18, 2026 council minutes. The two property tax figures add the 2025 levies for each tax area, so confirm them on a real tax notice. Questions about your own bill go to the Weber County offices.

The glance box at the top of this page shows the latest typical home value for Marriott-Slaterville, from the U.S. Census. That number is what owners think their homes are worth, averaged over five years. It is not a sale price. In words, the Census typical value here runs a little above Farr West’s and Plain City’s. Price any home against recent sales of homes like it nearby.

Few homes sell here, so averages jump around. A few sales can move every number. The Census survey counts about 740 homes. About 76% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. Every owned home is a detached house. Across all homes, about 83% are detached houses on their own lots.

A small rented stock sits in a few buildings of 5 to 19 units. Town House Estates, a condominium plat at 1045 South 1200 West, is one named example.

The homes are older than in Farr West next door. The median home was built in 1993. About 3 in 10 were built before 1980, and about 38% in 2000 or later. Almost nothing has gone up since 2020. The survey found only 3 homes from those years.

Three bedrooms is the most common size, at 49% of homes. Four bedrooms is 26%, and five or more is 15%. That is brick ramblers on big lots, from about a third of an acre on the residential streets to multi-acre farm parcels.

Lot size follows the zone. The city’s 2018 plan draft lists RE-15 at about a third of an acre, 15,000 square feet. RE-20 is 20,000 square feet. The A-1 farm zone says 2 to 5 acres depending on use, and A-2 says about 5 acres. New subdivisions follow cluster rules, which let builders use smaller lots to save open space and give them a small bonus in homes. That table comes from the draft plan, not the city code. Check the zone for the exact parcel.

Water shares are a real cost here. In August 2026, staff spoke about a four-lot plat at about 3925 West Pioneer Road. The city would hold the yard water shares from Richardson-Cowen Irrigation Company for the residents. Ask any seller what water comes with a lot, and who holds it.

Shop by price

Want the city in a wider view? Marriott-Slaterville on The Local tells more of its story. Ask me how fast homes like the one you want are selling right now. A partner agent I trust in Weber County can walk through recent sales with you.

Sources: U.S. Census ACS 2020 to 2024 (small place, wide margins, so figures are rounded), the city’s 2018 draft general plan, and the August 18, 2026 Planning Commission minutes. Prices shift through the year, so ask me for the latest Marriott-Slaterville numbers.

The city has no named neighborhood map, so I use the ground. The areas below run from the east side and City Hall outward to the farm ground. Marriott-Slaterville is its own city, not part of Ogden. City Hall’s ZIP code, 84404, is an Ogden ZIP. Every business on West 12th Street from about 1000 West to 1700 West prints “Ogden” on its address, but it sits inside Marriott-Slaterville. So do River Cove Trail Head and the three 12th Street schools. Check the county parcel record for any address.

• East and middleThe 400 North side and City HallAlong 400 North, west of I-15City Hall, City Hall Park and Mulligans Creekside Golf sit here. So do Pioneer School and Venture Academy. Exit 346 is close by. The Amazon delivery building is on 700 North. The city’s Northeast Commercial reinvestment land sits by 400 North and I-15.
• South and east12th Street and Exit 344The working edgeThe food and fuel strip is here, with the IFA Country Store, a farm, garden and feed store. A site plan for an extended-stay hotel was on the September 2026 Planning Commission agenda. Weber Innovation High, Two Rivers High and Horizon Academy sit on the north curb of 12th Street. Business Depot Ogden, across the street, is in Ogden. Expect truck traffic.
• SoutheastThe river bottomsWhere the two rivers meetRiver Cove Trail Head is at 903 West 17th Street, where the Ogden River meets the Weber. Hill Acres sits in a mapped flood zone. A new sewer line along 1700 South was put out to bid in 2025, so ask whether a home here is on sewer or septic.
• South sideMarriottThe old south townsiteMarriott Park is at 1025 South 1200 West, and Heritage Park is at 1359 West 700 South. The Fourth of July parade runs on 1200 West. Homes here sit on residential streets, with farm ground close by.
• North and westSlaterville and the farm groundThe lowest land, toward Plain CitySlaterville Park, Brookside Estates, Upland Ranches and Countryside Acres sit here. The land is flat and the lots are bigger. The Central Weber sewer plant is at 2618 West Pioneer Road. This is the most farm-like part of the city.
• West of the Weber1200 SouthNew commercial lots and a large home planThe Riverview East commercial lots and a 195-home plan are on 1200 South, west of the Weber. The new construction topic has the 2026 record.

Some names on listings sound like Marriott-Slaterville but sit next door. Golden Eagle Estates, Country Place and Legends Crossing are on the Farr West side. Haven Cove, Riverwalk and Wilson Cove are in West Haven. The Ogden Nature Center and Business Depot Ogden are in Ogden. Confirm the city on the county parcel record. A partner agent I trust can walk the street with you.

Farr West is about 5 minutes away, Plain City about 9, and downtown Ogden about 10. See Farr West, Plain City, West Haven and Ogden. The nearby cities topic lists more towns with drive times.

A home’s school depends on its exact address. The schools topic lists the five schools inside the city. Want the story on a certain block? Tell me what you are after. I will get it through the partner agent on the ground.

Sources: the city’s 2018 draft general plan, the 2026 Planning Commission record, UGRC city and school layers, the Census geocoder and USGS elevation data. Area labels are mine, based on where the places sit.

Not much has been built here in recent years. The Census survey counts only 3 homes from 2020 or later. The 2026 Planning Commission record shows more on the way. A recommendation is not a final vote, so ask what has been built and what has been approved.

• 1200 SouthThe David Weekley Homes plan2700 to 2800 West 1200 SouthThe Planning Commission recommended a 195-home plan by David Weekley Homes in March 2026. The record mentions a 15% cap on rentals, with an 18-month owner-occupancy rule. It also took up floodplain and infrastructure questions. I did not find a council vote. If it is approved and built, it would be the largest home addition in the city’s history.
• Pioneer RoadA four-lot platAbout 3925 West Pioneer RoadThis August 2026 plat has a retention pond as open space. The record says the property has a history of flooding but is not in a designated FEMA floodplain. Ask the seller about past water.

Building a home on a lot here works differently from buying a house. These steps keep you out of trouble.

Before you fall in love with a lot

1. Flood map and overlay.Check the FEMA map and the city’s flood hazard overlay for the exact parcel.
2. Zoning and lot size.Confirm the zone and the smallest lot it allows.
3. Bona Vista connection.Ask whether the lot can reach Bona Vista water.
4. Yard water.Ask which company or district supplies yard water, and who holds the shares.
5. Farming next door.Expect animals, field work and irrigation. Registered farms are protected.
6. 12th Street traffic and noise.Drive the street at rush hour before you decide.

Builders often cover the buyer agent fee, and your agent puts that in writing before you sign. Buying new works differently from buying a resale home, so read how it works before you tour.

Sources: the Marriott-Slaterville Planning Commission agendas and minutes for March, June, August and September 2026 on the Utah Public Notice Website. Plans change. Ask me for the latest status of any project.

Every town has its own list of things to check. These are the questions I would ask about any Marriott-Slaterville home. A map or a test can answer each one for a single address, so check them one home at a time.

The Central Weber sewer plant sits inside the city, at 2618 West Pioneer Road on the north side. Treat it as nearby, and visit on a warm day. Ask also whether a home is on sewer or on a septic tank. Much of the west farm ground carries no Central Weber levy.

12th Street and I-15 are loud near the exits. Drive the street at rush hour before you decide. The state’s high wildfire risk list shows no area inside the city. Utah state law does not require agents to verify or disclose geologic hazards, so ask your inspector.

The city’s 2018 plan draft sets a policy against permanent buildings in the 100-year floodplain. A flood hazard overlay applies to parcels there. City Hall, both parks and River Cove test outside the 1% zone. Brookside Estates tests in the 0.2% zone.

Ask me about any of these on a home you like, and I will tell you what the record shows. Your agent on the ground can set up the radon test and the inspection.

More on inspections

This is general information, not legal, engineering, or insurance advice. Sources: FEMA flood maps (checked October 15, 2026), the Utah Geological Survey and UGRC hazard layers, the city’s 2018 draft general plan, and the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (radon, 2019). Have a licensed inspector look at any home before you buy.

Sort the financing before the search. The best first step is to get pre-approved. That means a lender checks your finances and tells you how much you can borrow. It shows what you can spend, and it makes your offer stronger.

If you own a home now, timing matters as much as price. Selling one home and buying another on a set date can be the hard part. A plan for the gap between the two keeps the search honest. Call early, before you tour.

Much of what sells here is not a standard subdivision home. Some are acreage with farm zoning, or horse property with outbuildings and water shares. Others are homes in a mapped flood zone, or parcels where most of the value is land. Each follows its own path to a loan. In a market this small, the appraisal has fewer close sales to compare. An appraisal is a professional estimate of what a home is worth. Knowing early how a property is likely to finance keeps a purchase calm.

I am licensed in both real estate and lending. On any one purchase I take one role. If I am your lender, I can tell you early if a home could be hard to get a loan on. A home in the 1% flood zone can need flood insurance, and a lender can require it. The loan guides on this site explain each loan type in plain English.

One loan type does not apply here. USDA loans are for rural homes, and the USDA map shows all of Marriott-Slaterville as ineligible. Conventional, FHA, and VA loans are the ones to look at. In Marriott-Slaterville, a partner agent I trust does the work on the ground.

How my dual role works. I am licensed in both real estate and lending. On any one purchase I take one role. Every role is disclosed, and you are always free to choose your own agent and your own lender. In Marriott-Slaterville, a partner agent I trust does the work on the ground. The full explanation is on How I Work. This section is general information, not financial, legal, or tax advice.

The Census counts about 1,075 working residents in Marriott-Slaterville. Most of them drive alone to a job somewhere else in the Ogden area. The table shows the fields they work in.

What residents do for work

Source: Census ACS, 2020 to 2024. These are the seven largest fields. Counts for a small city carry a wide margin of error, so read them as a rough picture.

Public administration is about 14 in 100 jobs, which is a large share for a small city. The big employers in Weber County include Hill Air Force Base, Weber School District, and Weber State University.

Work inside and beside the city

An Amazon delivery station sits inside the city, on 700 North near Exit 346. It has 181,500 square feet on 51 acres. It reached full operation on April 2, 2025, and about 160 people worked there at its June 2025 opening.

Business Depot Ogden is across 12th Street, and it is in Ogden. It was the Defense Depot Ogden, and it now holds about 14 million square feet of buildings on 1,118 acres. About a third of its tenants are manufacturers. The Central Weber Sewer plant is inside the city too, at 2618 West Pioneer Road.

The commute

The average trip to work is about 20 minutes. About 78 in 100 workers drive alone, and about 8 in 100 carpool. About 1 in 9 work from home, and about 1 in 9 spend 45 minutes or more getting to work. Almost no one rides transit. About 83 in 100 households have two or more vehicles.

The traffic topic covers the roads. Before you buy, drive your own route at the hour you would go.

There is no hospital inside Marriott-Slaterville. Two big hospitals are in the Ogden area, about 14 and 15 minutes from City Hall. That is a short drive, and it helps to know the names before you pick a doctor.

Level I trauma centers are in Salt Lake County. A third state-licensed hospital in the county, Northern Utah Rehabilitation Hospital, is at 5825 Harrison Boulevard in South Ogden. It has 40 beds.

Fire and ambulance service comes from Weber Fire District. The nearest station is Station 61 in Farr West, about 4 minutes from City Hall. For an emergency, call 911. Check your insurance network before you choose a doctor.

Marriott-Slaterville is in the Weber School District, not the Ogden School District. Weber has 30,968 students, by the state count on October 1, 2025. The state lists five public schools inside the city line.

Schools inside the city

A public charter is a free public school that runs on its own, outside the district. The last three schools print Ogden addresses, because 84404 is an Ogden ZIP code. They sit on the north side of 12th Street, inside Marriott-Slaterville.

Where students go next

Students generally go on to Wahlquist Junior High in Farr West and then to Fremont High in Plain City, which had 1,468 students. The district draws and changes its lines, and the sources do not show how it handles every address here. Confirm the school for an address with the district’s boundary map before you write an offer.

Student counts come from the Utah State Board of Education for 2025 to 2026. The Venture Academy count is for the whole charter.

I do not rate schools, and I would be wary of anyone who says which one is best. The links below go to the district and to independent sites.

Ratings and boundaries come from independent third parties and the district, not from me.

No. There is no campus inside Marriott-Slaterville. Weber State University is in Ogden, about 14 minutes from City Hall. Ogden-Weber Technical College is also in Ogden.

Weber State is a public university, with 33,293 students on its fall 2025 count. The University of Utah is in Salt Lake City, south on I-15.

Times are map estimates in normal traffic. Rush hour changes them.

Traffic here is mostly about 12th Street and the freeway. The jobs topic has the commute figures. No count in the sources says how crowded I-15 gets at rush hour, so drive your own route at the hour you would go.

The roads that matter

I-15 runs through the city. It is signed I-15 and I-84 together here. Two exits sit inside the city line. Exit 344 is at 12th Street, which is SR-39, and Exit 346 is at 400 North.

12th Street runs the width of town and on into Ogden. Highway 126, at 1900 West and 2000 West, runs north and south. City Hall is on 400 North, about 2 minutes from Exit 346.

In June 2025 the Utah Transportation Commission approved $21 million to rebuild and widen 12th Street from 4700 West to Highway 126, which is 1900 West. UDOT plans wider shoulders, a center median, turn lanes, and room to walk and bike. It expects design in summer 2026, the start of construction in early 2027, and the end of the work in 2028. Schedules move, so check UDOT’s project page for the latest.

Not much. Marriott-Slaterville has no FrontRunner stop. One UTA bus, route 613 (Weber Industrial Park), runs on weekdays along 1200 West and 12th Street on the east side of the city. No bus runs inside the city on weekends. Almost no resident rides transit to work. Most people drive.

Times and routes change, so check rideuta.com before you build a routine on any of them.

Details come from the UTA FrontRunner timetable for fall 2026, UTA’s fall 2026 bus schedule data, and UTA’s OGX page. The Census counts almost no transit riders among Marriott-Slaterville workers. Schedules change.

Not in town, but a small one is close. Ogden-Hinckley Airport (OGD) is about 7 miles and 10 minutes from City Hall. Breeze Airways flies from there to Orange County, California, about twice a week. Check the airline for days and times.

For most flights, people use Salt Lake City International (SLC). It is about 40 miles south, a drive of about 45 minutes.

Most of your setup goes through one office. Bona Vista Water Improvement District supplies the drinking water. Its bill also carries the city’s sewer, garbage, recycling, and storm water lines. The city sets those lines, and the sources show no 2026 dollar amounts for them, so ask the seller for a recent bill.

To set up or change the name on city utilities, call Bona Vista at 801-621-0474. Its office is in Farr West at 2020 West 1300 North. Questions about the city’s lines go to City Hall at 801-627-1919.

Check the city and Bona Vista sites for current fees and hours.

Yard water

The 2026 watering rules

Since April 9, 2026, Bona Vista has been in its “Severe” drought stage, and it was still set on October 15. Customers without secondary water could not water landscape until May 15. Customers with secondary water must water with it only. They may not use drinking water, even when the secondary water is briefly off. The fine is $100 per day, per incident. The base water charge is $11.38 a month for a standard meter, and use costs extra. Check the drought page for current rules.

City Hall, police, fire, and the library

City Hall is at 1570 West 400 North, and the phone is 801-627-1919. It is open Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is closed on Fridays.

The Weber County Sheriff’s Office provides police service by contract. The city has no police department of its own. Weber Fire District provides fire and ambulance service. Station 61 in Farr West is the nearest station. Which engine comes first can vary near 12th Street and the northwest edge, so ask which station covers an address.

There is no library inside the city. The Weber County Main Library in Ogden is about 11 minutes away.

Call Blue Stakes at 811 before you dig. The cost of living topic has the wider budget picture.

For general information only. This is not tax or financial advice. Tax rates and home prices change. Consult a qualified professional for guidance specific to your situation.

Internet depends on which part of town you are in. The state broadband map shows fiber on the 12th Street and I-15 side and near City Hall. The west farm ground shows only old phone-line internet.

Moving day is only the start. Here is the short list for your first 90 days in Marriott-Slaterville, in a sensible order.

1. Set up the Bona Vista accountCall Bona Vista Water at 801-621-0474. That one account starts water and the city’s sewer, garbage, recycling, and storm water lines. Then start Rocky Mountain Power and Enbridge Gas Utah.
2. Find out who supplies yard waterAsk the seller whether the Pioneer Special Service District or an irrigation company serves the lot. It is a separate bill or a line on the Bona Vista bill, so find out which.
3. Get your Utah driver licenseThe Driver License Division office is at 615 East 5300 South in South Ogden. It is the only office serving Weber County.
4. Check the emissions ruleWeber County tests most cars to register them. The notes below have the basics.

8. Book a parkPark reservations open April 15. You make them in person at City Hall, which is closed on Fridays.
9. Sign up for schoolConfirm the school for your address with the district, then register. The schools topic explains the boundaries.

The emissions test

Weber County is one of five Utah counties that require an emissions test for most cars. Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, and Cache are the others. Electric cars are exempt. You test no more than two months before your registration is due. Cars less than six years old are tested once every two years.

On October 1, 2026, the county ended its old tailpipe test. Some older and heavy vehicles are now exempt. The state’s records may still ask for a test on those vehicles. If so, the owner files a county web form. Check the Weber-Morgan Health Department before you test.

Rules and office hours change. Check each office before you go.

Marriott-Slaterville has no grocery store inside the city. Every shop point checked inside the line is a fuel stop, a farm store, an RV dealer, or a trade business. The weekly grocery run goes east on 12th Street into Ogden, or to Harrisville or Plain City. The restaurants topic names the places to eat.

In town

Fuel and quick stops sit on 12th Street at Exit 344, and at 400 North and 2000 West, a few blocks from City Hall. The city also holds a garden market at the city offices on Saturday mornings in late summer. The events topic has the details.

Stores being built

A Target is being built at Farr West’s Exit 349, and a Walmart Supercenter is being built in West Haven. Neither is open yet.

Where the big stores are

A warehouse club or a mall means a drive. Costco is in South Ogden, and Newgate Mall is in Ogden. Target, Trader Joe’s, Sam’s Club, and Walmart are on Riverdale Road in Riverdale. Harmons is in Roy.

Store lists and hours change. Store details come from each store’s own pages, OpenStreetMap, and the Census geocoder, so check before you drive out.

Marriott-Slaterville has no canyon, reservoir, or mountain trail inside the city. The ground is flat. Its outdoors are a paved river path, three landscaped parks, and a short drive to bigger places. The mountains are Ogden’s, 25 to 40 minutes out.

The river path at River Cove

River Cove Trail Head is at 903 West 17th Street, inside the city, about 7 minutes from City Hall. The city lists a bike path, trail head parking, and a walking trail. It lists no restroom or water, so bring your own.

The Ogden River joins the Weber River at the city’s southeast corner, near the trail head. The paved Ogden River Parkway runs 4.7 miles from the canyon mouth and meets the Weber path there. The path also ties into West Haven’s river trail, which is 5.5 miles. A map app will print Ogden for the address, because 84404 is an Ogden ZIP code.

City parks

The city says it has three landscaped parks. It also keeps a soccer field at Heritage Park and the trail head. You can reserve a park from April 15 to October 15. Reservations are made in person at City Hall.

• At City HallCity Hall Park1570 West 400 NorthA playground, a bowery (a covered picnic shelter), and a walking path. It has the one park restroom that is not marked rent only.
• South and east sideMarriott Park1025 South 1200 West · about 5 minutesSoftball, basketball, a playground, and a bowery. It hosts the Fourth of July.

• Soccer fieldHeritage Park1359 West 700 South · about 4 minutesA soccer field and nothing else on the city’s list.

Short drives to bigger outdoors

Fort Buenaventura is a Weber County park at 2450 A Avenue in Ogden, about 9 minutes from City Hall. It is on the Weber River, about a mile upstream of where the rivers meet. The 26-acre park has an 18-hole disc golf course, fishing, and a rebuilt fort. The fort marks the 1846 trading post of Miles Goodyear.

The Ogden Nature Center is at 966 West 12th Street in Ogden, about 5 minutes away. Adults pay $8. It is open Monday to Saturday and closed on Sunday.

Willard Bay State Park is a freshwater reservoir, about 19 minutes north to the North Marina. A vehicle pays $25 in the peak season and $10 from Labor Day to Easter. Antelope Island State Park is in the Great Salt Lake. The causeway entrance is about 24 minutes away, and a vehicle pays $15. Bison, pronghorn, and bighorn sheep live on the island.

Pineview Reservoir is up Ogden Canyon. In 2026 Ogden City is replacing a water pipe under the lake. The arms were drawn down, and the Port Ramp is closed through 2026. Check ramps before you tow a boat in 2027. The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge near Brigham City has a 12 mile auto tour. Ogden Canyon and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail are on Ogden’s east side.

Sources: the city’s parks pages, Weber County Parks and Recreation, Utah State Parks, and the drive table. Drive times are map estimates from City Hall. Prices and hours change, so check before you go.

No national park is close to Marriott-Slaterville. Utah’s big parks are a long day of driving, so plan an overnight stay. The nearest National Park Service site is Golden Spike National Historical Park, where the first railroad across the country was joined.

Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Canyonlands are farther still. The Utah drive times tool below measures a trip from any of 138 towns, including the town beside each park entrance.

Times are map estimates from City Hall. Check each park’s own site for hours, fees, and closures.

Marriott-Slaterville is not a ski town, but three resorts sit within about 40 minutes. All three are in or above the Ogden Valley, on the other side of the mountain. The road you take matters. In summer, the road over the North Ogden Divide is the short way in. In winter it can close, and then trips go through Ogden Canyon and take longer.

Snowbasin usually opens around Thanksgiving, and Powder Mountain usually opens in mid December. Each resort posts its own date, so check before you plan a trip.

Think about the winter drive if skiing matters to you. A trip over the Divide is a bonus in good weather, not a promise. Places in the Ogden Valley, such as Eden and Huntsville, sit closer to the lifts than this city does.

Drive times come from the router table for City Hall. Opening dates move every year, and resort plans change, so confirm them before you plan around one.

Yes. Mulligans Creekside Golf is inside the city, at 1690 West 400 North. That is about a quarter mile west of City Hall. It is a nine-hole executive course, which is a shorter layout. It has 4 par fours, 4 par threes, and 1 par five. It also has a heated driving range that is open year round.

The city held its own Fourth of July golf tournament there in 2025. Call ahead for current hours and prices at (801) 392-4653.

Marriott-Slaterville has its own small food strip on 12th Street at Exit 344, from about 1000 West to 1700 West. A few more stops sit at 400 North and 2000 West. A map app prints Ogden for the 12th Street ones, because 84404 is an Ogden ZIP code, but they are inside the city. One long-running local restaurant, a Thai kitchen, and a burger shop sit among the freeway chains.

Five places to start

• Local sit-downJeremiah’s Restaurant1307 West 12th StreetBreakfast all day, with scones, steaks, and soups, plus banquet rooms. Its own site says it has been on the spot since 1979 and took the Jeremiah’s name in 1989.

Each is listed by its own site or location page. This is not a ranking, and no one paid to be listed.

Two Maverik stores also serve hot food, one on 12th Street and one on 400 North. For wider choice, such as Italian, steak, sushi, or brewpubs, go to Ogden. Historic 25th Street is about 10 minutes east.

For groceries and everyday stores, see the shopping topic. The weekly food run leaves town.

Hours and menus change, and small places come and go. Check before you drive. I do not rank restaurants.

The city’s own list is short. It has the river path at River Cove, the parks, Mulligans Creekside Golf, and a calendar of city events. The outdoor recreation topic tells the river path and the parks. The events topic tells the calendar. Bigger outings point to Ogden and the county.

Ogden has the Union Station museums, about 9 minutes away. Peery’s Egyptian Theater is about 10 minutes away, and so is Lindquist Field, the minor league ballpark. The Dinosaur Park is about 12 minutes away. Lagoon, the amusement park in Farmington, is about 25 minutes south.

The Marriott name was on the map here long before it was on hotels. The overview tells that story.

Details come from each venue’s own site. Prices, hours, and dates change, so check before you go.

The city has no theater or gallery of its own. Its arts are small and local. The city’s own Cars ’n Art show is held in April at the city offices. It pairs a car show with a resident art show in ten classes, from oils to photography to Lego. It is free, and entries are limited to residents and businesses in the city. The city also set aside money for arts grants in 2026.

For stages and galleries, Ogden is about 10 minutes away. The entertainment topic names Peery’s Egyptian Theater. Add the Eccles Art Center, Weber State’s Browning Center, and the Ogden Amphitheater downtown, home of the Ogden Twilight concerts. In 2026 those concerts ran from June 9 to October 7. The Local lists the downtown stages and the Weber State venues in detail.

Check each venue’s own site for shows and dates. I do not rank venues.

Marriott-Slaterville’s events are small and run on standing rules. The city’s events page lists four: the Easter Egg Hunt, the Fourth of July, the Halloween Trunk-or-Treat, and Breakfast with Santa. The city’s monthly newsletter, the Pioneer Post, carries the rest.

Marriott-Slaterville sits on the farm ground between Ogden and the Weber River. Ogden is east, the farm towns are north, and West Haven is south across the river. The drives below are from City Hall.
