About Property Taxes in Summit County, Utah
Summit's rate is Utah's lowest
Summit County's effective tax rate of 0.347% ranks in the bottom 10% nationally and is the lowest across all 29 Utah counties. Despite the low rate, the median tax bill of $3,469 exceeds the national median of $2,690, driven by an exceptionally high median home value of $1,000,400—reflecting the county's desirable resort communities.
Lowest rate in Utah overall
Summit County's effective tax rate of 0.347% is the state's lowest, far below the Utah average of 0.498%. The county's median tax of $3,469 ranks highest statewide, entirely due to its luxury property market rather than high tax rates.
Lowest rate among surrounding counties
Summit County's 0.347% effective rate significantly undercuts adjacent Tooele County (0.589%), Uintah County (0.535%), and Salt Lake County (0.563%). The county's tax-friendly environment reflects its status as an exclusive resort destination with strong commercial tax revenue.
Median home costs $3,469 in taxes yearly
A typical Summit County home valued at $1,000,400 generates an annual property tax bill of $3,469, the highest median in Utah. While the effective rate is the state's lowest, the astronomical home values drive a substantial annual tax obligation for most homeowners.
High-value homes should verify assessments
In Summit County's luxury market, even small percentage errors in assessment can mean thousands of dollars in annual tax overpayment. Homeowners with million-dollar-plus properties should routinely request independent assessments and file appeals if assessments drift above comparable recent sales.
