Cost of Living & Housing in Clearfield
Clearfield offers genuinely more affordable housing than several of Davis County's other cities in this dataset, alongside Utah's low, flat state income tax -- though Davis County's real December 2025 property tax increase is a directly relevant nuance to understand before budgeting.

Clearfield's home price figures carry a real, disclosed softening signal: Zillow's average home value ran $398,474, down 3.6% year-over-year, while Redfin's median sale price over the last 3 months ran $410,000, down a marginal 0.06% YoY (base record). Days on market rose to 38, up from 31 the prior year -- a real, disclosed cooling trend rather than continued rapid appreciation.
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 Clearfield 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 -- Clearfield is genuinely NOT a no-income-tax destination, but the rate is low and falling.
Combined sales tax
Clearfield's combined sales tax rate runs approximately 7.25% (state, Davis County, and local components combined), consistent with this project's other Davis County records -- confirm the exact combined rate for a specific address.
