Taxes
The State Income Tax Rate is 5%. The State of Utah, Counties and Cities all pride themselves on having one of the lowest tax structures in the United States. The tax structure splits sales tax, personal and real property taxes between all taxing entities. In some communities there are special service districts and Recreation/Arts/Parks/Zoo taxes. These are usually sales tax or special levies for a given area. As a whole, Davis County is a little lower in local taxes than surrounding communities. This shows a stable and fiscally responsible local government.
Governor Herbert said it best, “Governments role is to stay off of businesses backs and out of their wallets.” We at Davis County agree with his statement.
