Utah's flat income tax

Utah's individual income tax ran a flat 4.55% for tax years 2023-2025, cut further to 4.45% for tax year 2026 via Senate Bill 60 -- the sixth consecutive year of Utah rate cuts, a real, current, statewide rate applying identically to Draper residents.

Draper's genuinely low property tax rate, with two disclosed figures

Draper's own median effective property tax rate ran 0.49% per Ownwell's analysis (a $3,486 median annual bill), below the Utah statewide 0.55% median. Separately, Draper's own city government cites its CITY-portion mill rate at 0.000936 -- among the lowest city-level rates in Salt Lake County. These are two different, non-contradictory figures: a full effective rate across all taxing entities vs. the city's own narrow levy component.

Confirm the correct county assessor

Given Draper's real, disclosed cross-county geography, confirm whether a specific property falls under the Salt Lake County or Utah County Assessor before finalizing a purchase-related tax estimate.
