State Overview
Property Taxes in Utah
Utah taxes property at half the national rate
Utah's average effective property tax rate of 0.498% sits well below the national median of 1.03%, making it one of the country's most tax-friendly states for homeowners. This nearly 2-to-1 advantage means Utah ranks among the 10 lowest-tax states nationally, offering significantly lighter property tax burdens than most Americans experience.
County rates range from nearly free to steep
Utah's 29 counties show dramatic variation in effective tax rates, from Rich County's bargain 0.290% to San Juan County's 0.844%—a nearly threefold spread. This means a homeowner paying taxes in one county could pay nearly three times more in another, creating meaningful geographic winners and losers across the state.
Typical Utah homeowner pays $1,815 annually
The median Utah homeowner pays $1,815 in property taxes on a median home valued at $377,586—well below the national median tax bill of $2,690. For Utah buyers, this translates to an effective rate that keeps annual tax costs manageable, even as home values have climbed above the national average.
Mountain counties spike taxes, rural areas stay flat
Ski-country and mountain communities drive Utah's tax outliers: Summit County residents pay $3,469 annually (the state's highest), while resource-rich rural counties like Rich and Piute keep bills under $1,100. The pattern reflects both higher property values in resort destinations and different county revenue strategies in sparsely populated areas.
Utah rewards homeowners with rock-bottom taxes
Utah is unmistakably a low-tax state, with property tax rates half the national average and median bills nearly $900 cheaper than typical American homeowners pay. If property taxes drive your real estate decisions, Utah's affordability advantage is real—unless you're buying in mountain resort zones like Summit or Morgan counties.
