Cost of City Government

The Utah Taxpayers Association annually calculates how much residents pay in city taxes and fees across Utah’s 50 most populous cities.

By combining U.S. Census data on population and income with figures from each city’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, our report reveals per capita tax and fee collections and the financial burden relative to resident income.

This report is released in June or July each year.
