Utah Property Tax
Residential property tax in Utah is administered by the 29 county governments. The counties’ role begins with the surveying and/or recording of real property ownership records. It continues with the valuation, assessment, and equalization of property values. It ends with the collection of property taxes and the distribution of revenues to the various local governmental entities.
The county assessor appraises residential property at 100% of its “fair market value,” which is theoretically the value at which the property would sell for on the open real estate market.
Part or all of the fair market value may be exempt from taxation per Utah law. After subtracting the exempt portion of the value, the remaining value is the taxable value. Residential properties that serve as the primary residence of any household receive an exemption of 45% of fair market value. Therefore, the taxable value is only 55% of fair market value. Tax rates are applied to the taxable value to determine the property tax due.
On the other hand, the taxable value of a second residence or an unoccupied residential property would be equal to 100% of fair market value. Source
