$802 per resident in 2022, close to the middle of similar cities
Kaysville’s day-to-day spending in 2022 ($802 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 23 Utah cities of 25,000–49,999 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $860, and the middle half spent $603–$1,434. Kaysville spent less than 52% of them.
Includes sewer and trash ($5.7 million), as the Census Bureau counts them. Later years come from a Census sample, so the comparison stays on 2022. How Town Hall compares budgets →

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $802 · 2023: $774.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
