Utah Notes

Important state-specific details

Utah assesses property at 100% of FAIR MARKET VALUE (unlike many states); the statewide assessment ratio is 100%.
PRIMARY RESIDENTIAL EXEMPTION: Owner-occupied primary residences automatically receive a 45% exemption from their assessed value - this means you are only taxed on 55% of your home's fair market value; NO APPLICATION NEEDED; applied automatically as long as the property is your primary residence; very significant and automatic.
Example: $400,000 home → 45% exemption = $180,000 exemption; taxed only on $220,000.
CIRCUIT BREAKER (PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PROGRAM): qualifying low-to-moderate income seniors, widows/widowers, and others may receive a credit against property taxes; income-based; apply with the county assessor or Utah State Tax Commission; deadline typically November 30 or varies by county
BLIND, INDIGENT, OR DISABLED VETERANS: additional exemptions available; contact county assessor
GREENBELT (FARMLAND ASSESSMENT ACT): agricultural land assessed at productive use value rather than market value; apply with county assessor by May 1
Utah has NO state property tax (all property taxes are local - counties, cities, school districts, special districts)
