I have a tenant who is on a house arrest program in Utah. If he is nearing 2 months past due, I know I can service a Notice to Pay, but after that can I legally call the deputy to have him put back into jail for unpaid rent?

No, unpaid rent is not a criminal offense. But you could evict him and since the sheriff ’s office handles evictions, they could run him straight to jail.
