    You may not know the exact definition of arson in Utah.

     

    few people have occasion to research such matters until they are personally involved in an arson case. Utah residents may be charged with arson if they use fire or explosives to damage someone else’s property. Arson can also apply to those who are accused of attempting to defraud their insurer by intentionally setting a fire.

    Arson charges increase in severity as the value of the property damage rises.

     

    For example, someone who is accused of damaging more than $5,000 in property may face a second degree felony criminal charge, while a case involving between $1,500 and $5,000 in value would be considered a third degree felony. Misdemeanor arson usually involves property damage up to $1,500. Additional charges and long-term consequences may result if a fire or explosion injures a person or endangers human life.

    Your arson charges may be accompanied by additional allegations, including drug offenses, theft and property crimes.
