Are Property Taxes Deductible in Utah?
Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Utah adds its own break: circuit breaker credit up to $1,412 for homeowners or renters 66+ or widowed with 2025 household income up to $44,221.
Homestead: primary residential exemption: 45% of home value (and up to 1 acre) is exempt, so you are taxed on 55%. Utah homeowners apply for the circuit breaker with their county by Sept 1; renters apply with the State Tax Commission.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
