*Example: a $400,000 home at Utah's average property tax rate of 0.52%, about $2,080 a year before any exemption. Your bill depends on your county and home. IU means paid at the 100% rate for individual unemployability. P&T means permanent and total. Exemptions aren't automatic: you apply with your county assessor after you buy.
