Utah's flat income tax

Cedar City's genuinely low property tax rate, with a real, disclosed ZIP-code spread

Cedar City's own median effective property tax rate ran 0.44% per Ownwell's analysis (a $1,407 median annual bill), closely aligned with Iron County's broader 0.42% average -- though a real, disclosed spread exists by ZIP code specifically ($1,373 in 84721 versus $1,514 in 84720), primarily driven by differing school-district levies.

Confirm the specific ZIP-code rate for a target property

Given this real, disclosed intra-city spread, confirm the specific ZIP-code-level tax rate and bill for a target Cedar City address rather than assuming a single citywide figure applies uniformly.
