Livable Communities

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.

Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the country – especially for Americans aged 50+! Pickleball is a fun and fast-paced sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It’s played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes, similar to a wiffle ball.

Four communities across Utah are getting a boost in their work to become more livable for residents of all ages

AARP Utah has a long history of connecting Utahns with resources and with each other.

South Salt Lake has a new way for residents to boost their physical and mental health without joining a gym: the AARP-sponsored outdoor fitness park, organized by FitLot in Bickley Park, next to the Columbus Senior Center.

Plans for street improvements and a new housing model will be possible thanks to AARP Community Challenge grants.

AARP applauds the bipartisan action taken on July 16, 2015 on S. 192, the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act (OAA) introduced by Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) with Senators Richard Burr (R-NC), Patty Murray (D-WA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The Senate passed the bill the week that the OAA celebrated its 50 anniversary of providing invaluable services to older adults.
