Cost of Living & Housing in Centerville
Centerville pairs Utah's low, flat state income tax with a real, disclosed housing-price spread wider than most of this project's other Davis County records -- worth confirming directly given the city's small, land-constrained housing stock.

Learn moreA genuinely wide, disclosed housing-price spread
Centerville's home price figures carry a real, disclosed and genuinely sharp cross-source spread: Zillow's typical home value ran $531,736 (up a steep 28.4% year-over-year per this citation), against a separately cited, notably lower $452,600 median. A more recent July 2026 figure showed homes listed at a median $579,000, $255 per square foot (base record). Confirm current listings directly rather than relying on any single figure here.
A real December 2025 Davis County property tax increase
Davis County's effective property tax rate runs approximately 0.60%, but Davis County commissioners approved a roughly 14.9% property tax increase in December 2025, with final 2026 rates set by county auditors in fall 2026 -- meaning a Centerville homeowner's actual 2026 rate may run meaningfully higher than the 2025-based figure (base record).
Utah's flat, low state income tax
Utah's flat state income tax was reduced from 4.5% to 4.45% for tax year 2026 under Senate Bill 60, part of a real, ongoing five-consecutive-year rate-cut streak from 4.95% in 2021 -- Centerville is genuinely NOT a no-income-tax destination, but the rate is low and falling.
A notably strong local median household income
Centerville's median household income ran a real, disclosed $113,697, notably higher than several other Davis County records in this dataset, consistent with its established, mature housing stock (base record).
