Taxes in Lehi
Utah levies a real, current flat state income tax -- 4.45% for tax year 2026, cut from 4.55% in 2023-2025 via the sixth consecutive year of state rate cuts -- so Lehi is genuinely NOT a no-income-tax destination, but this coexists with a genuinely low property tax burden and a moderate combined sales tax rate around 7.25%.

Utah's flat income tax ran 4.55% for tax years 2023-2025 and was cut further to 4.45% for tax year 2026 via Senate Bill 60 -- the sixth consecutive year of Utah rate cuts per Americans for Tax Reform's reporting (a real, disclosed minor cross-source inconsistency exists, with some sources citing figures as close as 4.5% or as far as 4.65% for 2026). This is a real, meaningful cost that a mover comparing Lehi against no-income-tax Western markets (Nevada, Washington) should budget for directly, not assume away.
Property Tax Runs Genuinely Low
As detailed in full on the property-taxes topic page, Lehi's effective property tax rate runs a disclosed 0.41%-0.47%, below both the Utah County average (0.44%) and the Utah statewide median (0.55%), and well below the ~1.02% national median, further reduced for owner-occupants via Utah's 45% primary-residence exemption.
A Moderate Combined Sales Tax Rate
Lehi's combined sales tax rate (state + Utah County + city) runs approximately 7.25%, a real, disclosed approximate figure reflecting Utah's layered state/county/local sales tax structure rather than one uniform statewide rate. Confirm the current specific rate for a given purchase category directly with the Utah State Tax Commission, since some categories (groceries, for instance) receive different treatment.
Property Taxes and Insurance: Pointers to Full Detail
Lehi property taxes run at a genuinely low, below-national-average rate covered in full on the property-taxes topic page rather than repeated here, while earthquake insurance -- a real, current, and Utah-specific factor given Lehi's Wasatch Fault exposure -- is covered on the homeowners-insurance topic page.

- The current rate is the product of six consecutive years of state rate cuts, per sourced 2026 reporting.
- Property tax runs genuinely low (0.41%-0.47% effective in Lehi) -- well below the national median, and further reduced via Utah's 45% primary-residence exemption.
- Lehi's combined sales tax rate runs approximately 7.25% (state + county + city) -- a real, disclosed approximate figure.
