Utah Property Tax Calculator
Utah property tax bills blend the levies of every entity serving your parcel — county, city, school board, and assorted special districts — applied to values county assessors keep current. Homestead-style treatment eases the load on many primary residences, and owners can appeal values through county boards. Estimates here are median-based: pick your Utah county above and enter a home value.

Methodology
Rates are aggregate-derived from the Census Bureau's ACS 2024 5-year American Community Survey (total real-estate taxes paid ÷ total home value, by county). This is a statistical estimate, not a bill lookup — actual property tax bills vary by city, school district, and special-district levies layered on top of the county rate, and by any homestead, senior, veteran, or other exemptions you qualify for. Utah ranks #49 of 51 (including DC) by statewide average effective rate, where #1 is the highest.
