Utah has one of the lowest effective property tax rates in the nation at 0.44%, ranking 47th nationally. Rapid population growth and high home values — median over $428,000 — mean actual dollar amounts have risen, but rates remain very competitive.
Utah assesses residential property at 55% of fair market value. The primary residential exemption then reduces taxable value further. Salt Lake, Utah, and Davis counties apply similar mill rates, while rural counties vary.
| Home Value | Estimated Annual Tax | Monthly (Escrow) |
|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $1,100 | $91/mo |
| $428,200 (median) | $1,884 | $157/mo |
| $600,000 | $2,640 | $220/mo |
Utah's primary residential exemption reduces the taxable value of owner-occupied homes by 45% (only 55% of value is taxable). A circuit breaker credit is available for qualifying seniors 65+ and blind/disabled homeowners.
Utah property taxes are due November 30 in full, or split into two installments due November 30 and May 31.
Salt Lake County and Utah County (Provo/Orem) have the highest total dollar bills due to high home values. Summit County (Park City) has very high values but relatively lower rates.
