A judge has temporarily halted the construction of a Latter-day Saint Heber Valley Utah Temple Site in the Heber Valley as the Utah Supreme Court reviews the case, but the church is confident that the construction will soon resume. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is actively appealing to the state’s highest court to lift the suspension and continue building.

Lawyers have been disputing plans for nearly two years regarding the temple in Wasatch County. Last month, a 4th District judge issued a stay on all work pending the Utah Supreme Court’s decision on the legal validity of the development plans.

Despite this, the church’s attorneys oppose the ruling. On October 10, they filed an expedited review request with the Supreme Court, emphasizing that the delay obstructs church members’ right to worship and infringes on property rights, while also increasing construction costs significantly.

The church confidently requests the Supreme Court to lift the district court’s injunction, which would allow construction to proceed without delay.

This legal challenge follows the county’s approval of the temple plans in November 2023, despite objections from four residents of Heber living near the proposed site. These residents claim the county council violated laws by approving the project.

The planned temple will sit on an 18-acre site just east of Heber City, featuring 88,000 square feet of space and a towering steeple reaching 210 feet high. The church is determined to resolve these legal hurdles and move forward with this significant development.
