Property taxes help fund essential local services throughout Iron County, including schools, roads, fire protection, law enforcement, and other public services. Property taxes are based on the value and classification of each property and are distributed among the various taxing entities that serve the property.
How Property Taxes Work
In Utah, property taxes are administered at the county level. The Iron County Assessor determines the market value and taxable value of property, while the Iron County Treasurer collects property tax payments and distributes the revenue to the appropriate taxing entities.
Your property tax is generally calculated by applying the applicable tax rate to the taxable value of your property:
Taxable Value × Tax Rate = Property Tax Due
For a primary residence, Utah provides a 45% residential exemption, meaning the property is generally taxed on 55% of its market value. Other types of property, including vacation homes and commercial property, may be taxed differently.
Property tax rates are established by the various taxing entities that provide services to your property. These may include Iron County, Brian Head Town, school districts, and special service districts.
