It is not odometer fraud if you declare in the registration title when you sell it.
Most states' car registration titles has some statement like "The odometer reading is not the actual mileage" or something to that effect.
I've seen that section on the title... Iowa's titles say "WARNING: ODOMETER FRAUD" next to that check box.
Don't they still also require the sticker in the door jamb?
EDIT: I know it's Utah, but...
Here's a bit more information on this subject:
Odometer Replacement or Repair
If the odometer needs to be repaired or replaced, the disclosure statement should read:
The odometer was repaired or replaced and that the present reading is identical to the reading before the repair
-or-
The odometer was repaired or replaced, and because it was incapable of registering the same mileage as before, it was reset to zero.
If the odometer is repaired or replaced and then reset to zero, the disclosure statement must specify the mileage on the vehicle before the reading was altered. A notice in writing, on a form available from MVED, specifying both the date the odometer was repaired or replaced and the mileage on the vehicle before this occurred, must be permanently affixed to the left door frame of the vehicle.
