How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.
About Sanpete County, UT
Sanpete County’s effective property tax rate of 0.466% edges just past Utah’s statewide median of 0.462%, placing it 14th among the state’s 29 counties. That ranking puts the county squarely in the middle of Utah’s pack — neither a standout low-tax haven nor a high-tax outlier. Against the national median of 0.794%, however, the rate looks considerably leaner, meaning homeowners here pay well below what many Americans owe on comparable property. A median home value of $347,200 generates an annual real-estate tax bill of about $1,619, set against a median household income of $70,083 and per-capita income of $26,995. In communities such as Centerfield, Axtell, and Chester, property taxes take a smaller slice of household budgets than the national average would imply, though the county’s near-parity with Utah’s median signals that local rates are broadly consistent with the rest of the state.
