Contractors take a disciplinary hitScores of Utah contractors have faced disciplinary sanctions in the last four years from the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing as they faced financial difficulties during the economic downturn. Builders in cities across the Wasatch Front, shown right, had their licenses revoked between August 2008 and February 2013. Below, all 29 counties had at least one contrac-tor disciplined over the same period. Salt Lake County had 158 such actions.
