Utah properties are assessed at 100% of market value. The assessed value is then multiplied by the local millage rate to determine your annual tax bill.

Utah Property Tax = Assessed Value × Local Millage Rate

Local millage rates vary by county, city, school district, and special districts within Utah. Your total rate is the sum of all applicable levies.
