What is an orthomosaic?
An orthomosaic is a geo-referenced aerial image created by stitching hundreds of individual photos into a single, seamless, map-accurate image. It corrects for lens distortion and terrain relief, producing a measurable, survey-grade image.
How quickly can aerial imagery be delivered in Orem?

Drone Regulations FAQ — Orem, UT
What drone services are most needed in Orem?
Tech office construction monitoring for Domo, DoTerra, and other Silicon Slopes companies is a primary demand. The University Place mixed-use development requires ongoing construction data collection. Utah Valley University campus expansion creates institutional data collection demand. Residential development requires topographic data collection and progress monitoring.
Is Orem in controlled airspace?
Orem is near the Provo Municipal Airport Class D airspace. Drone operators should check the Class D boundary on sectional charts. Much of Orem may be outside the Class D surface area but within its shelf. Check LAANC grid for your specific location.
How does Orem elevation affect drone flying?
Orem sits at approximately 4,750 feet elevation in the Utah Valley. The Wasatch Mountains to the east rise to over 11,000 feet. The elevation reduces drone performance. The mountain proximity creates variable wind conditions in afternoon. Summer temperatures above 95 degrees compound the density altitude effect.

The development includes a corporate center, shopping center, and residential towers. It is one of the largest private development projects in Utah County, creating sustained construction monitoring and aerial mapping demand.
Does Orem have its own drone ordinances?
No. Under Utah state law SB 167 (2019), only the state may regulate drone flight paths, preempting local municipalities. Orem follows FAA Part 107 regulations without additional local drone-specific ordinances.
