Lehi vs. South Jordan Property Taxes on New Construction
Lehi taxes new single-family construction at about 0.46% of value versus about 0.504% in South Jordan, so the rate favors Lehi. But Lehi homes are pricier, so the median annual dollar bill is actually a little higher in Lehi – about $3,364 versus about $3,086 in South Jordan. On a same-priced home, Lehi is the lower-tax choice; on the homes each city actually sells, the bills are close. Effective rates are from tax year 2024 assessor records on completed new-construction homes (2023-2025 builds); a brand-new 2026 home is assessed on land only for its first year or two, so your first tax bill will look tiny and then jump to roughly the rate times what you paid once the county adds the house to the roll. Figures are as of September 2026 and move with annual valuations and mill rates. All rates assume the primary-residence exemption; a rental or second home pays roughly 1.8 times as much.
