Thank you for being a neighbor
Day-to-day spending is down 9% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Plymouth reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $815 · 2024: $794. Per resident it went from $815 to $794 (down 3%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 464 to 433.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $1,740 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.46% of the home’s value, vs 0.52% across Utah.

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
