Utah sales tax rates by ZIP code
The 6.1% figure includes the mandatory statewide local increment.
Counts and the combined rate range are drawn from our October 2026 file. Rates change monthly.
What you actually have to charge in Utah
Local jurisdictions add their own rate on top, so the rate you must actually charge is almost never the state rate.

See the UT data before you buy. Every edition has a free sample file cut from our October 2026 file, with the full state, county, city and district breakdown exactly as it ships, including 30 UT rows.
What's in the Utah rate file
Utah data ships inside every edition — we do not sell single-state files. Each row carries the ZIP code, county and city name, the rate at each jurisdiction level, the combined total, and whether shipping is taxable. The higher editions add district reporting codes, FIPS codes, effective dates and sales tax holiday windows.

How local tax works in Utah. State-collected. All local option, county option, mass transit, highway, rural hospital and arts taxes are administered by the Tax Commission and reported on one combined return.
Worth knowing. No interactive rate lookup exists — use the quarterly combined-rate charts published by effective date, or the Streamlined rate and boundary files. Grocery food is taxed at a reduced combined 3% rate, and Utah mixes origin and destination sourcing depending on whether the seller has a fixed place of business in the state.
Questions
Utah sales tax questions
What is the sales tax rate in Utah?
The statewide base rate is 4.85%. Local jurisdictions add their own rate on top, so the rate you must actually charge is almost never the state rate.
Is shipping taxable in Utah?
Generally no. In Utah a delivery charge is not taxable, and combining it with handling does not make it taxable.
That distinction catches people out, which is why our file carries both flags — TAX_SHIPPING_ALONE and TAX_SHIPPING_AND_HANDLING_TOGETHER — on every row, for the specific jurisdiction. Your system doesn't have to encode the rule.
How many sales tax jurisdictions are there in Utah?
We track 265 bodies that actually levy a sales tax in Utah — 29 counties, 146 cities and 90 special districts — across 342 UT ZIP codes. We count a county, city or district only where it charges something, not merely because it appears in the file.
