Property taxes were equal to slightly more than .1 percent of the sales price on properties financed through the FHA in Utah during 1959, according to the Foundation report. This property tax load was approximately 20 percent below the average for the nation as a whole. Utah rank ed 31st among the 50 states in the elative property tax burden on new hpmes and 32nd on existing homes. The study, points out that the relative property tax load on home owners is more than twice as high in Massachusetts as it is in Utah. Home owners in South Carolina, on the other hand, pay only about half as much in property taxes on the same value home as do Utah home owners. Most of the high property tax states, according to the study, are found in the Fast and the Midwest. States with relatively low property tax loads generally are in the South. Another comparison made by the Foundation was the percentage of home owner income going for property taxes. Utah also ranked below the United States, Mountain States, and Western States averages in this measurement. In Utah, property taxes were equal to 2.20 percent of the annual income of persons purchasing a new home financed through FHA in 1959. For persons buying en existing home, property taxes averaged 2.11 percent of annual income. In the United States as a whole, property taxes were equal to 2.49 percent of home owner income on new homes and 2J&1 percent on existing homes. .
