AARP Utah Affordability Advocacy
Whether it’s property taxes, utility costs, or preventing fraud, AARP Utah is dedicated to protecting your hard-earned money.
AARP Utah believes you should keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket.
Whether it’s property taxes, utility costs, or preventing fraud, AARP Utah is dedicated to protecting your hard-earned money. Inflation has steadily eroded purchasing power, leading to difficult budget decisions for the average Utahn. Throughout the 2026 Legislative Session, AARP Utah will continue to work to protect the budgets of Utahns.
Utah Circuit Breaker
Significant program changes are anticipated during 2026. Keep an eye out for legislative updates beginning in mid-January.
Since 2020, the average home price in Utah has grown by approximately 50%. As a result, property tax revenue has increased by nearly 100% since 2015. Fortunately, Utahns have access to the Circuit Breaker Homeowner Tax Credit as well as the Circuit Breaker Renter Refund to help offset increasing property taxes. These two programs are not well-known and have roughly 12,500 annual participants.

Property Tax Deferral
The deferral program allows qualified homeowners to defer their property taxes until after the home is sold or otherwise transferred. This program is still in its infancy and has seen very little use.

Utility Rates
In mid-2024, Rocky Mountain Power filed a 30% rate increase proposal that would have been implemented in 2 stages. After significant public pushback, the proposal was amended to 18%. The Public Service Commission capped the increase to less than 5% in part due to AARP members who submitted over 2,100 personalized postcards opposing the increase.
Learn more about how AARP members were able to help stop a 30%+ increase in rates.
Currently, Enbridge Gas is working on a proposed increase. AARP Utah will continue to monitor the future proposal and keep you updated.
