What you'll pay, at a glance

Property taxes are the largest local tax most homeowners pay. The effective rate measures the real tax bill as a share of home value — a more useful number than the nominal “mill rate,” because assessment practices vary county to county.

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 Sevier County, UT

Buying a home in Sevier County means weighing a tax rate that runs higher than much of Utah against prices that stay well below the national picture. The county's effective property tax rate of 0.541% ranks 7th among Utah's 29 counties and sits above the statewide median of 0.462%. On a median home value of $311,200, that works out to an annual real-estate tax bill of about $1,683. Even so, the national median effective rate of 0.794% is considerably steeper, so buyers here still pay less in proportional terms than in many parts of the country. Households earning the median income of $74,884 can absorb that bill without straining, and per-capita income stands at $31,154. Salina, along with Aurora and Redmond, anchors a county where lower home prices help offset the somewhat elevated rate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Sevier County, UT?
The effective rate is 0.54% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 0.54% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($311,200), the estimated annual bill is about $1,683.
Is Sevier County's rate high or low?
Compare it to the state median of 0.46% and the national average near 1.1%.
How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?
A mill rate is the nominal levy per $1,000 of assessed value. The effective rate reflects what you actually pay after exemptions and assessments — it's the median tax bill as a share of median home value, so it better predicts your real cost.
Will a reassessment raise my tax bill?
Not necessarily. If your home's assessed value rises, your bill can go up, but only if the mill rate and exemptions stay flat. Contact the Sevier County assessor's office to review your current assessment.
Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
Yes. Most counties allow an appeal when you believe the assessed value exceeds the market value. File with the Sevier County assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
