A price cut also lowers the down payment and property tax. A 2-1 buydown lowers the rate 2% in year one and 1% in year two, then returns to the market rate. Lender and loan-program limits on seller credits apply.

Utah property taxes are paid in arrears each November, so at closing the seller credits the buyer for taxes from January 1 to the closing date. Estimate only. Your title company prepares the final settlement statement.
Where the sale price goes
Schools
Which school district is that home in?
Pick a city to see its public school district, any upcoming change, and links to official report cards and ratings.
Boundaries can split a neighborhood, and Utah's public charter schools are open to any resident by lottery. Before you write an offer, confirm the assigned elementary, junior high and high school for the exact address with the district. I'm glad to pull the boundary map for any home.
Buying & selling in Utah
Six things that surprise people here
Sale prices aren't public
Utah is a non-disclosure state. Closed prices don't appear in county records, so online estimates often miss. Accurate pricing comes from MLS sold data.
Your home is taxed on 55% of its value
A primary residence gets a 45% exemption. Second homes and rentals are taxed on full value, so the same house can carry a much larger tax bill.
Contracts run on deadlines
Utah's purchase contract uses deadlines for disclosures, due diligence, financing and appraisal, and settlement. Missing one can cost you your earnest money or your leverage.
Buyers sign an agreement first
Since August 2024, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes. It spells out services and how the agent is paid.
Ask about the water
Many neighborhoods have secondary irrigation water, and larger lots may come with water shares. Both affect value and yard costs.
School districts are changing
Alpine School District splits into three new districts in July 2027. Check the district for any home you're considering.
