What a Provo, Orem or Utah County home costs in property tax each year, at the rate for its own tax area, and how much the primary-residence exemption saves.

Interactive Tool 2025 rates, checked October 20, 2026 Runs in your browser

Every Utah County parcel sits in one of the county's 151 tax areas, and each area's combined rate is the sum of every entity that taxes it: the county, the city, the school district and any special districts. This tool uses the final 2025 combined rate the Utah State Tax Commission published for the area you choose.

This is an estimate for planning, not a bill. Your parcel's assessed value and its exemption status are on the Notice of Property Valuation and Tax Changes the county mails each year.

The home

Use the market value on your valuation notice for a home you own, or the price for one you are buying.

Starts at Provo 110-0000. Utah County prints the tax district on each parcel's valuation notice; ask the listing agent for it on a house you are considering. 2026 rates are set this year and will differ from these.

How is the home used?

The Utah County Assessor says a primary residence gets a 45% residential exemption, so tax is paid on 55% of market value. Second homes are taxed on the full value, so the same house costs about 1.8 times as much in tax for an owner who does not live in it.

How Utah property tax works

Each taxing entity in Utah adopts a certified tax rate meant to bring in about the same revenue as the year before, so when values rise, rates fall. An entity that wants more must hold a public Truth in Taxation hearing first. Add up every entity's rate for a parcel and you get the combined rate this tool uses. The estimate is market value, times 55% if it is your primary residence, times the combined rate.

For the tax line inside a full monthly payment, use the mortgage calculator; to start from your income instead, use the home affordability calculator. How Utah County property tax is assessed walks through the notice, the exemption application and the appeal window.
