Who Do I Call in Federal Heights?

Which community council covers Federal Heights?
Federal Heights does not have its own council. It is part of the Greater Avenues Community Council, which lists Federal Heights as one of its areas. The council holds a community meeting most months, usually the first Wednesday at 6 PM, at the Sweet Branch Library and on Zoom. The meetings are open to the public. Check avenuescouncil.org for the next date; the Zoom link goes up by 5 PM that day.
Where is the closest library?
There is no library inside Federal Heights. The closest is the Corinne & Jack Sweet Branch, at 455 F St, at 9th Ave. Call 801-594-8651. It is open Monday to Thursday 10 to 8, Friday and Saturday 10 to 6, and closed Sunday, with free parking north of the building and free wi-fi.
How do I get rid of bulky items?
Salt Lake City picks up one load of bulky items and one load of green waste a year at no extra charge. Call 2 Haul at 801-535-6953, weekdays 8 to 5, and the city gives you a date. Big homes with big yards fill that load fast, so it helps to plan it before a move.
When are property taxes due?
The 2026 property tax bill is due November 30. If you think the county has your home's value wrong, the Salt Lake County Assessor explains your options.
Where is the nearest emergency room?
The closest is the University of Utah Hospital emergency room, at 50 N Medical Dr, open 24 hours (801-581-2291). The LDS Hospital emergency room is at 8th Ave and C St (801-408-1181). For something that cannot wait but is not an emergency, InstaCare walk-in urgent care is at 389 S 900 E (385-282-2400).
A garden tip, too: Popperton Park, at 1400 E Popperton Park Way, has a community garden next door with four raised beds built for wheelchair users. You can find all of this anytime on my Federal Heights page.
