The level of the offense in a Utah theft case is typically determined
by the value of the item taken. Items valued at less than $500 are
typically charged as class B misdemeanors. Items valued at between $500
and $1500 can be charged as class A misdemeanors. Items valued at more
than $1500 can be charged as felonies. Some items can be charged as
felonies regardless of their value (e.g.,
vehicles,
firearms, and some livestock). Felony charges can also be charged for
cases involving items valued at under $500, if the defendant has two or
more previous theft or theft-related convictions.
