Are you looking to get a cannabis mortgage loan in Utah?
I can help.
The marijuana industry is one of the trickiest areas of home financing.
Medical marijuana is legal in Utah, but recreational marijuana is not. Federally, marijuana dispensed under a state issued medical license moved from Schedule I to Schedule III on April 28, 2026, so it is no longer banned outright, though it remains a controlled substance and businesses need DEA registration.
Sadly, because of this, most banks will turn down anyone working in the marijuana industry.
The great news is it is possible for cannabis industry workers to get approved for a home loan.
Because I am a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator working through Edge Home Finance, LLC, a mortgage broker in Utah with access to 150 lenders, I am able to find mortgage companies that are ok with doing weed related mortgage financing.

Separate from the income question, and easy to miss: Utah’s disabled veteran property tax exemption shields up to $535,459 of taxable value based on your disability percentage, on form PT-025 by September 1. You file it with your county assessor and it has nothing to do with how you earn your money.
