Juab County Plats

During Craig Sperry's tenure in office, the State of Utah passed a law requiring all counties to update their plats.  There was a great deal of expense involved in such a huge project.


This is what the plats looked like prior to being redrawn.
Nephi, Plat A, Block 30


This is how the same plat looks today.


While Craig was in the process, the State of Utah withdrew the funding for the project but left the new law in place.  He continued to follow protocol and submitted the maps to the State.


The State of Utah didn't want to pay the funds they had promised so Craig challenged the Board of Examiners which consisted of the governor, attorney general and the state auditor.


A decision was made that the money was owed Juab County and the State of Utah paid what they had promised.  Craig saved the taxpayers of Juab County a great deal of money by taking this action.  He was the only recorder in the state to do so.


Congratulations, Craig!
