A recent AARP survey found aging in place is extremely important to 84% of Utahns 45 and older. Three in five of those surveyed say rising property taxes could impact their ability to remain in their home as they age.
The 2025 Legislative session in Utah ended March 7, 2025.
Did you know that Utah has a new property tax relief program? It's called the Property Tax Deferral Program for Elderly Property Owners. The program allows Utahns 75 and older to defer their property taxes until the home is transferred to a new owner.
Ensuring the safety of Utah residents is one of our top priorities at AARP Utah.
UPDATE:Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) is now seeking a lower rate increase for users in Utah after the company received feedback from it's customers. On August 28, 2024, RMP submitted a new filing with the Public Service Commission of Utah, dropping the proposed residential rate increase from 30% to 18%.
A Message from Pat Thompson, AARP Utah's volunteer State President:
On May 22, 2024, AARP Utah held an in-person Social Security forum at the Embassy Suites Hotel in South Jordan. We were joined by about 75 attendees as our experts discussed Social Security solvency.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institutions.
Utah is one of only 11 states that tax Social Security benefits. But in an era of high inflation, people who are dependent on their Social Security income are looking for a break.
