Lehi vs. West Jordan Property Taxes on New Construction
Lehi taxes new single-family construction at about 0.46% of value versus about 0.518% in West Jordan – the rate clearly favors Lehi. The median annual dollar bill runs about $3,364 in Lehi versus about $2,720 in West Jordan, but West Jordan’s usable sample skews toward smaller, lower-priced homes, so the bill difference partly reflects home size rather than the tax rate. West Jordan single-family tax sample is thin (about 6 completed homes); the rate is directionally right but the dollar figure is less firm. 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.
