Living in Centerville, UT
Davis County
Centerville is one of Davis County's oldest and most established suburbs, settled in 1847 (Thomas Grover, first settler that fall) and named for a real, well-documented reason: an 1850 survey found the town sat precisely between the growing communities of Farmington and Bountiful. It was incorporated as a town in 1862 and as a city in 1947. Centerville's population ran 16,884 at the 2020 Census, with more recent estimates running slightly higher (16,740-17,000, disclosed as a real, modest cross-source spread). Housing carries a real, genuinely sharp disclosed spread across sources -- Zillow's typical home value ran $531,736 (up a steep 28.4% YoY per this citation) against a separately cited $452,600 median, with a more recent July 2026 figure showing homes listed at a median $579,000 -- likely reflecting Centerville's small, land-constrained, thinly-tracked housing stock rather than one settled figure. Median household income ran a real, disclosed $113,697. Utah's real, current flat 4.45% state income tax (2026, per Senate Bill 60) applies statewide -- Centerville is genuinely NOT a no-income-tax destination -- and Davis County's effective property tax rate runs approximately 0.60%, though this record discloses the same real December 2025 Davis County property tax increase (roughly 14.9%) disclosed in this project's other Davis County records, meaning a Centerville homeowner's actual 2026 rate may run meaningfully higher.

Not independently sourced at the Davis County level this session. Utah's top state income tax rate is 4.45%. See the Utah hub page for the statewide property tax context -- do not treat that figure as Centerville-specific.

Pros
A real, well-documented 1847 founding and a genuinely distinct namesake identity (precisely between Farmington and Bountiful); an established, mature Davis County suburb with direct Wasatch-bench mountain access; a notably high median household income ($113,697) relative to several other Davis County records in this dataset; and Utah's real, current, actively-being-cut flat income tax (down to 4.45% for 2026).
Cons
Housing figures carry a real, genuinely sharp, disclosed cross-source spread ($452,600-$579,000 depending on source and date) rather than one settled number, likely reflecting Centerville's small, land-constrained housing stock; a real, disclosed December 2025 Davis County property tax increase (approximately 14.9%) that may push a Centerville homeowner's actual 2026 effective rate meaningfully above the 0.60% 2025-based figure cited here; and a genuinely car-dependent suburban layout with limited developable land for new construction.
Who this fits
Best for: Best fits families and buyers wanting an established, mature Davis County suburb with a real, documented small-town-history identity, direct Wasatch mountain-bench access, and a notably strong local median household income, alongside Utah's low, flat income tax.
Maybe not for you if: Probably not the right fit for anyone wanting a single, settled home-price figure without confirming current listings directly, given Centerville's real, genuinely sharp disclosed cross-source spread; anyone assuming Utah is a no-income-tax state, given the real, current flat 4.45% (2026) rate; and anyone budgeting off a stale 2025 property-tax figure without accounting for the real, disclosed December 2025 Davis County tax-increase nuance.
