Land Values in Utah: What to Know
Utah does not make land sale prices public, so this page uses asking prices: what sellers list land for, not what buyers paid. In recent market data the median listing asks about $280,000, or about $261,000 per acre, across 4,365 listings. That is high because most listings are small lots near the cities. Land that sold spent an average of 142 days on the market.
The Wasatch Front costs the most. Salt Lake County asks about $980,000 per acre, Davis County about $840,000 and Utah County (Provo) about $812,000. Summit County (Park City) asks about $667,000, and Washington County (St. George) about $626,000. Prices drop fast in the desert and ranch counties: about $2,800 per acre in Millard County, about $16,000 in Duchesne County and about $30,000 in San Juan County. Iron County, around Cedar City, has the most listings, 669, at about $75,000 per acre.
Why small lots cost more per acre
Utah sale prices are not public, so compare asking prices by size. The median listing under 1 acre asks about $246,000. A 5 to 10 acre parcel asks about $349,000, and a tract of 100 acres or more asks about $2,000,000. The big tract costs more in total but far less for each acre. Lots along the Wasatch Front and in St. George are priced as home sites. Big desert and ranch tracts are priced for grazing or recreation, so each extra acre adds much less.
How to estimate what your land is worth
Start with recent sales of land like yours: the same county, a similar size, and a similar use. Then adjust for what buyers check first. Legal road access, power and water at the road, how much of the parcel sits in a flood zone, and how steep or wet the ground is can each move the price a lot. In Utah, water is the key question: a parcel with a water share, a well, or a city water line is worth far more than one without. Check road access and power next.
