Overview
What is Herriman like?
Short answerA city of about 63,300 in the far southwest Salt Lake Valley, settled in 1851, climbing about 2,150 feet from its east edge to the south ridge.
Herriman sits in the far southwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley. About 63,300 people live here, by the 2025 Census estimate. The city covers about 23 square miles of land. South Jordan is to the north, Riverton to the east, and Bluffdale to the southeast. Camp Williams, a Utah National Guard training post, sets the south edge. The Oquirrh Mountains rise to the west.
The ground climbs a long way inside the city line. City Hall is at about 4,850 feet. The east edge, along the Mountain View Corridor, sits near 4,650. Herriman High School is at about 4,900, and Blackridge Reservoir is near 5,250. The highest streets with homes reach about 5,500. Open hillside above them climbs to about 6,800 feet on the south ridge. That is a rise of about 2,150 feet. About one sixth of the city’s land sits above 5,500 feet, all on the south and southwest hillside.
Most of Herriman is new. The Census counts about 18,000 homes, and about nine in ten were built in 2000 or later. The real estate topic shows what that means for the homes. The place also offers trails from the edge of a street, a city reservoir with a sandy swim beach, and a growing set of stores.
From farm town to city
The city’s settlers’ monument says the town was settled in 1851. It names four first families: Thomas Jefferson Butterfield, John Jay Stocking, Robert Cowan Petty and Henry Herriman. Butterfield Canyon carries the Butterfield name. Many histories spell the last name Harriman, but the monument spells it Herriman. It says nearly 100 different families came between 1851 and 1871.
In the spring of 1858 the town emptied when Johnston’s Army arrived. The settlers came back that summer. Then Herriman stayed a small farm town for well over a century. It became a town in 1999, and the 2000 Census counted about 1,500 people.
Two things opened the foothills to building. One was the Rosecrest master plan on the hillside. The other was the Mountain View Corridor, a main road north and south that has been open since 2012. The Census counted 21,785 people in 2010 and 55,144 in 2020. The 2025 estimate is 63,282, which is about 1,200 to 1,900 more people every year since 2020. The city says Census data showed Herriman as the fastest-growing city over 10,000 people in the United States from 2010 to 2019.
Settled in 1851
Four first families, a farm town under the Oquirrh Mountains, and a town government only from 1999.
The building wave
The Census counted 21,785 people in 2010 and 55,144 in 2020, as the foothills filled with new streets.
Still growing
The 2025 estimate is 63,282, up about 1,200 to 1,900 people a year since 2020.
The city’s plan
The General Plan was last updated in July 2022, and the work began in the winter of 2018 to 2019. It sets four goals: growing wisely, using open space well, finding fiscal opportunities, and supporting community and culture. The city also says that another 14,000 homes are already entitled to developers, nearly doubling the existing total. It adds that most of them will be multi-family. “Entitled” means the land already has the approvals to build. The new construction topic shows where.

What is the weather like in Herriman?
Short answerHot, dry summers, cold winters with steady snow, and mild spring and fall. July highs are near 94°F and January lows near 25°F.
Herriman has four true seasons. Summers are hot and dry. Winters are cold, with steady snow from November through March. Spring and fall are mild. No weather station inside Herriman has official normals. These numbers come from two NOAA stations. Temperatures and freeze dates come from the old Draper Point of the Mountain station. It is about 6.5 miles east-southeast and about 340 feet lower than City Hall. Snow and rain come from the Salt Lake City airport, about 18 miles north.
The two stations agree within about a degree on temperature. Herriman’s higher streets sit up to about 1,000 feet above the Point station. The upper streets run cooler and snowier. No station measures how much, so I will not give a number.
Spring
Highs 56 to 74°F
Mild and changeable, with snow still possible in March. The last freeze usually comes around April 18, a little later on the upper streets.
Summer
Highs 85 to 94°F
Hot, dry days and nights in the 60s. About 78 days a year reach 90 or more.
Fall
Highs 51 to 81°F
Warm early, crisp late. The first freeze usually comes about October 22.
Winter
Highs 40 to 45°F
Real winter, with January the snowiest month and nights near 25.
Month by month
These are the normal highs and lows for each month. The summer nights cool off. A normal July night drops to about 66°F.

Rain and melted snow add up to about 15.5 inches a year at the airport. April is the wettest month, with about 2.2 inches. July is the driest, with about 0.5.
Frost dates matter if you garden. At the Point station, the last spring freeze is usually around April 18. The first fall freeze comes around October 22. That leaves about 185 frost-free days. The airport runs a little warmer at both ends, with a last freeze near April 8 and a first near October 31. Gardeners on the upper streets should plan on later spring dates and earlier fall dates.
Highlights
- A normal January day: high 40°F, low 25°F.
- A normal July day: high 94°F, low 66°F.
- About 15.5 inches of rain and melted snow a year. April is the wettest month and July the driest.
- Last spring freeze about April 18. First fall freeze about October 22. About 185 frost-free days.
- The upper streets run cooler and snowier, with no station to measure it.
Fire season is part of the picture on the hillside edge. The Camp Williams section tells the story of the 2010 fire.
Good to know. The east edge of Herriman and the highest streets are about 850 feet apart in height. Ask which part of the city a home is in, because spring and winter can feel different.
For the day to day side, see Herriman on The Local.
Snow
How much snow does Herriman get?
Short answerAbout 52 inches in a normal year, mostly November through March. The upper streets run snowier.
Herriman gets about 52 inches of snow in a normal year. That is close to Bountiful, and less than Logan or Cottonwood Heights. Most of it falls from November through March. This number comes from the Salt Lake City airport, the nearest station with snow normals.
Source: NOAA climate normals, 1991 to 2020, the weather station in each town. Herriman uses the Draper Point of the Mountain station for temperatures and the Salt Lake City airport station for snow.
January is the snowiest month, with about 12.7 inches. December brings about 12.1 and February about 10.7. November adds about 7, March about 6, and April about 3. October gets only a trace. No snow falls from June through September.
Winter brings about 35 inches of the total, spring about 9, and fall about 7.5. Snow cover is short. At the airport, the ground holds an inch of snow or more on about 45 days a year.
The highest streets in Herriman sit about 1,000 feet above the Point station. They catch more snow than the airport number shows. No station measures it, so I will not give a number.
Highlights
- About 52 inches a year at the airport station.
- January is the snowiest month, then December and February.
- No snow falls from June through September.
- The ground holds an inch or more on about 45 days a year.
- The upper streets run snowier. There is no official number.
Good to know. The airport number is not your snow number. Ask what a street is like after a storm, especially on the hillside.
Summer temperatures
How hot does Herriman get in summer?
Short answerJuly highs average about 94°F, with about 78 days a year at 90°F or hotter and about 13 at 100°F or hotter.
Summers are hot and dry. A normal July afternoon reaches about 94°F, which is the warmest of the four towns below. Nights fall to about 66°F, so the house cools off slowly. June is milder, with highs near 85°F. August is close to July, near 92°F.
Source: NOAA climate normals, 1991 to 2020, the weather station in each town. Herriman uses the Draper Point of the Mountain station for temperatures and the Salt Lake City airport station for snow.
Hot days are common. In a normal year, about 78 days reach 90°F or hotter. About 13 days reach 100°F or hotter. Evenings cool off more on the upper streets.
The hot stretch
July and August highs sit in the low 90s. June runs about ten degrees cooler.
Warm nights
A July night drops to about 66°F at the Point station.
Dry air
July is the driest month, with about half an inch of rain. August is dry too.
Highlights
- A July high of about 94°F.
- About 78 days a year reach 90°F or hotter.
- About 13 days a year reach 100°F or hotter.
- July nights fall to about 66°F.
Summer is also a season for poor air. The air quality topic below has the numbers.
Wind
Is Herriman windy?
Short answerSpring brings gusty days, but no station in Herriman reports wind. The nearest record is the Salt Lake City airport, 18 miles north.
Spring brings gusty days to the Salt Lake Valley, and Herriman has them too. No weather station in Herriman or the southwest valley reports wind. The nearest record is at the Salt Lake City airport, 18 miles north on flat ground. There, the average wind runs about 8 mph. The strongest gusts each year reach 55 to 69 mph. That is the airport, not Herriman.
Wind matters most on the open hillside, where homes have less cover. Look at the roof, the fences and the trees. Ask the neighbors what the last big wind did. Wind also plays a part in fire. High winds and dry brush pushed the 2010 fire toward city streets. The Camp Williams section tells that story.
Open hillside
Homes on the open hillside have less cover than streets with mature trees.
On a tour
Look at the roof, the fences and the trees. Ask how the home did in the last big wind.
Spring
Gusty days are common in spring. Plan to visit then as well as in summer.
Highlights
- No Herriman station reports wind. The airport averages about 8 mph.
- The airport’s strongest yearly gusts reach 55 to 69 mph.
- Spring brings the gusty days.
- Ask about the roof, fences and trees on any home on open ground.
Source: NOAA, Salt Lake City airport station, yearly summaries for 2016 to 2025.
Straight talk. Wind is easy to miss in a daytime showing. Visit a home on a breezy evening and ask the neighbors what the last big wind did.
Air quality and inversions
Does Herriman get inversions?
Short answerYes, in winter. Summer ozone brings poor air days too, and EPA still lists the county as Serious for ozone.
Yes, Herriman gets inversions. An inversion is when cold air gets trapped in a valley under a lid of warmer air. On calm winter days, haze builds in that trapped air. A storm usually clears it out. Summer ozone brings poor air days too. No air monitor sits in Herriman, so there is no Herriman reading. The numbers below are for Salt Lake County.
Winter haze
The air quality index starts at 0. A reading of 50 or less is good. Above 50 is moderate, and above 100 is unhealthy for sensitive groups. This table counts December through February days over 50 in Salt Lake County.
| Winter | Days above 50 |
|---|---|
| 2024 to 2025 | 46 of 90 |
| 2025 to 2026 | 42 of 90 |
Source: EPA AirData, daily air quality index for Salt Lake County. The county figure uses the worst monitor of the day, and those monitors are mostly in the north valley. It is not a Herriman reading.
Summer ozone
Ozone is a gas that forms on hot, sunny days. In 2025, Salt Lake County had 15 days that were unhealthy for sensitive groups and 1 that was unhealthy for everyone. Fourteen of those 16 poor days were ozone days, between May and early September.
Dust from the Great Salt Lake
The Great Salt Lake has shrunk, and that leaves bare lake bed that can blow. The state says the dust reaches the whole Wasatch Front on some spring and summer days. Herriman is about 25 to 30 miles from the exposed lake bed. The state gives no Herriman figure.
What the EPA says
Salt Lake County is in the Northern Wasatch Front area for the 2015 ozone standard. EPA lists the area as Serious, so it does not yet meet that standard. For fine particles, called PM2.5, EPA ruled that the Salt Lake City area meets the standard. That took effect on December 19, 2025. The area is now a maintenance area, with a plan to keep it that way.
Highlights
- Winter days over 50 were 46 of 90 in 2024 to 2025 and 42 of 90 in 2025 to 2026.
- In 2025, 14 of the 16 poor air days were summer ozone days.
- Salt Lake County is in the ozone area EPA lists as Serious.
- For fine particles, the Salt Lake City area has been a maintenance area since December 19, 2025.
- Lake dust reaches the whole Wasatch Front on some days.
Here is what I would do. Check the air each day on the state’s air quality site, the way you check the weather. If air matters to you, visit during a gray winter stretch and a hot summer afternoon before you buy. Car emissions tests are part of the same story. The first 90 days topic covers the test.

Homes and money
What it costs, what you can buy, where in Herriman people live, and what to check.
Cost of living
Is Herriman affordable?
Short answerHousing is the big cost, and the commute is the longest of the nearby cities. Police and fire have their own tax levies.
Housing is the big cost in Herriman. The glance box at the top of this page shows the latest typical home value, from the U.S. Census. I do not quote a cost-of-living index for Herriman, because no single index settles it. Taxes, city bills, and the drive to work follow public numbers, and the next topics walk through them.
The drive is a real cost here. The mean commute is 27.1 minutes by the Census survey for 2020 to 2024. That is the longest of the nearby cities on the same survey. It costs fuel and hours before you price the house. The economy topic has the full commute numbers.
The tax bill is built a little differently from most. The city has a very small tax of its own. Police and fire are paid through two service areas, and both raised their rates in 2025 and again in August 2026. The next topic explains each line.
Housing
Mostly single-family homes, plus townhomes and apartments. The glance box shows the latest typical home value.
Property tax
Salt Lake County averages about 0.55% of a home's value a year. A primary home is taxed on 55% of its value.
Police and fire
Two service areas pay for them, and each takes about an eighth of a typical tax bill. Both raised their rates again in 2026.
The commute
27.1 minutes on average, the longest of the nearby cities. Budget the drive, not only the house.
City bills
Water, secondary water, a park fee, and storm water come on the city bill. The utilities topic has the details.
Home age
The median home was built in 2013, so most systems are newer. The market topic has the detail.
How does Herriman compare with the cities next door? The median home here was built in 2013. In Riverton it was built in 2001, so Herriman has newer homes and Riverton has streets that are long finished. Bluffdale and South Jordan touch Herriman too. Ask me and I will run the numbers side by side for the cities you are weighing.
Highlights
- Housing is the big cost. The glance box shows the latest typical home value.
- The mean commute is 27.1 minutes, the longest of the nearby cities.
- Police and fire have their own tax levies, and both went up again in 2026.
- Property tax averages about 0.55% in Salt Lake County.
- Utility bills are easy to check one by one in the utilities topic.

Taxes
What taxes will I pay in Herriman?
Short answerSales tax is 7.45%. Police and fire have their own levies, both raised in 2025 and August 2026, and a primary home is taxed on 55% of its value.
Three taxes matter most when you move here: sales tax, state income tax, and property tax. Herriman's property tax bill has a few quirks, so it gets its own block below.
| Tax | Rate | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Sales tax | 7.45% | The full rate in Herriman, set by the Utah State Tax Commission, in effect from October 1, 2026. |
| Groceries | 3.00% | Food from the grocery store is taxed at a lower rate. Restaurant meals are 8.45%. |
| State income tax | 4.45% | One flat rate for everyone, for tax years starting in 2026. |
| Property tax | About 0.55% | The Salt Lake County average for 2025, as a share of a home's market value. Your own bill depends on your tax area. |
Three of the sixteen lines belong to the city
A Herriman tax bill can carry up to 16 lines, one for each group that taxes the parcel. Herriman City controls three of them. The first is the city's own small tax. The city says it is about 1.6% of the total bill.
The other two are service areas. The Safety Enforcement Area pays for police. The Fire Service Area pays for fire and emergency medical care. The city says each one adds about 12 to 14% to the bill. That is roughly an eighth of the bill for each.
Both service areas raised their rates in 2025, and again on August 12, 2026, when the boards adopted the new rates by a unanimous vote. The city's own rate did not change. The police area also raised its rate in 2023. It held the rate in 2024.
There is a reason these two lines exist. Herriman started its own police department in 2018, when it left the Unified Police Department, and the police levy pays for it. Herriman left the Unified Fire Service Area in January 2021 and pays the Unified Fire Authority to run the fire service.
What a typical bill looks like
Most Herriman tax areas printed the same total rate for 2025, 0.010826. That is a little above the county average. Jordan School District takes the largest share. Salt Lake County, its library, and the water, sewer, and mosquito districts are on it too. The Central Utah Water Conservancy District is also raising its rate for 2026. The 2026 totals are not posted yet.
Some newer neighborhoods pay more. Olympia, in the northwest, sits inside a public infrastructure district. That is a special district that pays for roads and water lines before homes are built. It adds a levy of 0.004000, so an Olympia parcel's 2025 total ran about 37% higher than the main Herriman area. The city approved two more of these districts in December 2024 for the south hillside, called Panorama and South Hills. No levy was listed for them yet. So check the tax area of any parcel you like.
The primary home exemption
Utah gives a tax break to the home you live in. A primary home is taxed on 55% of its market value. Second homes and nightly rentals are taxed on all of it. Look at your tax notice for the primary home line to see that the break is applied.
Highlights
- Sales tax is 7.45%. Groceries stay at 3.00%.
- 4.45% flat state income tax for 2026.
- Herriman City controls three of the 16 lines: its own small levy, police, and fire.
- Both service areas raised rates in 2025 and on August 12, 2026.
- Most tax areas printed 0.010826 for 2025. Olympia parcels add an extra district levy.
- A primary home is taxed on 55% of its value.
Good to know. The city's own tax page was written before the August 2026 votes, so it can show older rates. Check the parcel's tax area with Salt Lake County.
Sources: the Utah State Tax Commission, Herriman City (Property Tax page), the August 12, 2026 meeting minutes of the police and fire service areas, and Salt Lake County 2025 tax rates. Questions about your own bill go to the county assessor.

Real estate overview
What do homes cost in Herriman?
Short answerPrices move. The glance box at the top of this page shows the latest typical home value. The median home was built in 2013.
The glance box at the top of this page shows the latest typical home value for Herriman, from the U.S. Census. That number is what owners think their homes are worth, averaged over five years. It is not a sale price. So price any home against recent sales of homes like it nearby.
Herriman is a young city. The Census counts about 18,000 homes. About 91% were built in 2000 or later, and 52% were built in the 2010s alone. The median home was built in 2013. Only about 5% are older than 1990.
About 64% of homes are single-family houses on their own lots. About 18% are townhomes or other attached homes, and about 16% are in buildings of five or more units. The median home has 7.0 rooms. About 79% of homes are owner-occupied. Very few are seasonal, so Herriman is a year-round city. The city counts differently and says 41% of its homes are townhomes or apartments.
Know the age of the home before you trust the average
An average mixes very different homes. A house from the early 2000s and a new house on the south hillside do not move together. Judge every home by its lot, its age, and its street.
The oldest ground
A few homes older than 1990 sit around the old town and Herriman Main Street, often on larger lots. Ask how old the roof, furnace, and wiring are.
The 2000s
The first big wave of building came with Rose Creek, the first streets of Rosecrest, and the east side. The age of the main systems starts to matter at inspection.
The 2010s and 2020s
Anthem in the north, the southwest hills, and Olympia hold the newest homes. The higher streets bring views and trail access, and also wind and snow that stays longer.
What to check on any home
Secondary water service, the tax levies on the parcel, and the school for the address. To the west or south, ask what the next phase of building puts behind your fence.
Home search sites split the city into areas with names like East Herriman and Herriman South. Few homes sell in each one, so use those names for direction, not for prices.
Ask me how fast homes like the one you want are selling right now. A partner agent I trust in Salt Lake County can walk through recent sales with you. Prices shift through the year, so a number from last season can mislead.
Highlights
- The glance box shows the latest typical home value, from the Census.
- About 64% of homes are single-family houses, and about 79% are owner-occupied.
- The median home was built in 2013, and 91% were built in 2000 or later.
- About 18% are townhomes or other attached homes, and 16% are in buildings of five or more units.
- New building is still going on in Olympia and on the south hillside.

Neighborhoods and communities
Where in Herriman should I look for a home?
Short answerThink in seven areas, from the middle outward: Towne Center, Anthem, the northwest, the old town, the south hillside, the east side, and the south edge.
Herriman runs from about 11800 South, at the South Jordan line, down to the hills above Camp Williams. It runs from Riverton and the Mountain View Corridor on the east to the Oquirrh foothills on the west. The ground climbs from about 4,650 feet on the east edge to about 5,500 feet where the highest homes sit. The areas below run from the middle outward.
- The middleTowne CenterAbout 4,850 feetCity Hall, the county's J.L. Sorenson Recreation Center, and J. Lynn Crane Park and Plaza sit together here. Apartments and townhomes fill the blocks around them. The Commons is on 13400 South, just west of the Mountain View Corridor. The shopping topic has the stores.
- The northAnthemAbout 4,860 to 4,910 feetAnthem Park Boulevard runs here at about 12000 to 12400 South. This is north Herriman, not the south side. Bastian Elementary and Herriman High sit at its edges, and WinCo has an Anthem Center store.
- The northwestTeton Village, Jackson and OlympiaOlympia is about 5,085 feetTeton Village and Jackson are Wright Homes communities near 12000 South and 6200 West. Olympia lies southwest of Herriman Boulevard and 6400 West and is the newest big project. Its story is in the new construction topic.
- Center westThe old town and Rose CreekNear Herriman Main StreetThe few homes built before 1990 are here, with the old farm lots. They sit around Herriman Main Street and Butterfield Park. Rose Canyon Road runs west from here to the foothills.
- The south hillsideRosecrest, Herriman Heights and Lake RidgeAbout 5,000 feet up to 5,500 feetRosecrest Road starts at about 5,000 feet. Herriman Heights and Lake Ridge by Blackridge Reservoir sit higher, and the highest streets reach about 5,500 in the southwest hills. The Rosecrest, Panorama, and South Hills plans will add more homes here. The views are the draw, and wind and snow come with them.
- The east sideBy the Mountain View CorridorAbout 4,750 to 4,800 feetThe Zions Bank Real Academy, the Herriman campus, Mountain Ridge High, and the Juniper Canyon trailhead are here. So are Academy Village and Lee's Marketplace. Juniper Crest Road and Real Vista Drive now reach the Mountain View Corridor. Mountain View Village in Riverton is about 4 minutes away.
- The south edgeBy Camp WilliamsThe edge of the cityHomes here sit next to the National Guard training post. Builders must tell buyers about the nearby site, and some lots get extra noise insulation. The Camp Williams section tells the story.
The ground, the view, and the next phase of building change street by street. A partner agent I trust walks it with you. Some places that sound like Herriman are just outside the city line. They are Hi Country Estates, the Yellow Fork and Rose Canyon county parks, and the Butterfield Canyon gate.
Want the story on a certain block? Tell me what you are after. My Herriman guides on The Local cover the parks, the reservoir, and more.
Highlights
- Seven areas, from the middle outward: Towne Center, Anthem, the northwest, the old town, the south hillside, the east side, and the south edge.
- Anthem is in north Herriman. The south side is Rosecrest, Panorama, and South Hills.
- The city climbs from about 4,650 to about 5,500 feet where homes sit.
- Homes by Camp Williams come with a builder's notice about noise.
- Hi Country Estates and the county canyon parks are outside the city line.
Elevations come from the U.S. Geological Survey. Area names follow the ground and the roads. A home's school depends on its exact address, so check with the district.
New construction
Are there new homes in Herriman?
Short answerYes. Olympia in the northwest has homes on sale now, and the south hillside is next, with Fieldstone's Panorama coming soon.
Here is the straight answer. Herriman is still building, and it has more building ahead than most cities. The city says about 14,000 more homes are already approved for builders, most of them in multi-family buildings. The growth story tells more. Building is going on in two big places: Olympia and the northwest, and the south hillside.
Olympia, the northwest corner
Olympia is a 933-acre development in northwest Herriman. The city annexed the land in 2021 along with a master development agreement. That is a deal that sets what a builder may build and in what order. The council approved the plans on September 29, 2021, and updated them in January 2024. The city says it is being built in phases over several years.
The story is short. The first plan, called Olympia Hills, covered about 930 acres and asked for more than 8,700 homes. It was vetoed. A revised plan came back for 6,330 homes and apartments, and that plan came into Herriman in 2021. Houses and apartments, shops, and open space are all part of it.
Homes are on sale now. Wright Homes lists Joshua Tree Townhomes and Joshua Tree Single Family as now selling. Olympia carries an extra tax levy, which the taxes topic explains, and its own water rate table, which the utilities topic covers.
Other new homes in the northwest
Wright Homes also lists homes at Teton Village and at Jackson, both near 12000 South and 6200 West.
The south hillside
The city approved master development agreements for Rosecrest, Panorama, and South Hills in November 2024. Roads, water lines, and other basics get built before homes, and a public infrastructure district helps pay for them. The plans call for a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments. Denser homes go near the Mountain View Corridor, and larger lots sit farther up the hillside.
About 30 acres of shops are planned at Juniper Crest Road and Academy Parkway. Jordan School District owns land in Panorama for a future elementary school. Fieldstone Homes lists Panorama as coming soon, with no date. Juniper Crest Road and Real Vista Drive opened to the Mountain View Corridor on October 6, 2026, which makes the hillside easier to reach.
A newer home in Herriman can come one of three ways. You can buy in a community that is selling now. You can wait for a hillside phase. Or you can buy a resale home from the 2000s or 2010s. Each path has its own budget and timeline. Check what is actually for sale before you plan around a project.
A checklist for a new home
Phase availability
Ask which lots and homes are open now, and which phases are only planned.
Secondary water
Ask if the lot gets secondary water, which is untreated water for the yard. It changes the summer bill.
What builds next door
Ask what the next phase puts behind your fence, and when.
School by address
Ask Jordan School District which school serves the exact address.
The tax area
Look up the levies on the parcel. Olympia and other new districts add one.
Wind and snow
The higher the lot, the more wind and snow you get. Visit in bad weather.
Highlights
- Olympia is 933 acres in the northwest, annexed in 2021 and built in phases.
- Wright Homes lists Joshua Tree homes in Olympia as now selling.
- The south hillside plans for Rosecrest, Panorama, and South Hills were approved in November 2024.
- Fieldstone Homes' Panorama is coming soon, with no date.
- Juniper Crest Road and Real Vista Drive opened on October 6, 2026.
Builders often cover the buyer agent fee, and your agent puts that in writing before you sign. Buying new works differently from buying a resale home, so read how it works before you tour.

Before you buy
What should I check before I buy a home here?
Short answerCheck the soil, slope, and flood maps, test for radon, and ask about Camp Williams noise and the state wildfire map.
Every town has its own list of things to check. None of these should scare you off. They are the questions I would ask about any home in Herriman. A map or a test can answer each one for a single address, so check them one home at a time.
Check the map
The fault
No mapped fault runs through Herriman. The nearest active one is the Provo section of the Wasatch fault. It is about 4 miles from the city's southeast tip and about 9 from City Hall. The Oquirrh fault zone is about 6 miles west. Look up any lot on the state hazard portal.
Ask for the report
Soil on the lower streets
The state maps show collapsible soil and expansive soil on the lower streets, which means soil that can settle or swell. On a newly built home, ask for the soils report.
Check the map
Liquefaction
This is when loose, wet soil acts like liquid in a strong quake. The county-adopted map reads "Very Low" at every point tested in Herriman.
Ask for the report
Slides on the hillside
The state maps show landslide and rockfall ground on the hillside, with mapped slides above Blackridge and on the southwest hills. On a hillside lot, get a geotechnical report, which is a study of the soil and slope. The east side is not mapped at this scale, and "not mapped" does not mean "no hazard".
Check the map
Flood and creeks
FEMA puts most of the city in Zone X, the low-risk zone. A regulated floodway runs along a creek across the north end, near 11800 to 12000 South. Flood strips follow creek channels in the west and center. Check the exact address. The city says flooding mostly hits hillside lots that slope toward a home.
Test the home
Radon
Radon is a gas from the ground that you cannot see or smell. In 2019 state test data, 42.4% of short-term tests in ZIP code 84096 were at or above the fix-it level. Salt Lake County was 33.2%, and state maps show a high radon hazard across the mapped city. A test is cheap, so test every home.
Wildfire and the state map
Utah has a state wildfire program that began on January 1, 2026. The state maps high-risk wildland areas, and some properties inside that map may pay a yearly fee. The state sets the fee and the county collects it. The city says some Herriman addresses are likely to be affected. I give no amount, because the state sets it. Look up the address on the state wildfire risk map, called UWRAP, and ask about insurance early.
Living next to Camp Williams
Camp Williams is the Utah National Guard's training post. It sets the south edge of Herriman and covers about 24,000 acres. Two things come with it, and both are worth knowing before you buy.
The first is noise. Under the south hillside agreements, homes in set high-noise areas are built with more insulation. Buyers must be told that the training site is near. The only reliable test is to visit the street at different times, including evenings, and listen for yourself.
The second is the 2010 Machine Gun Fire. It started on September 19, 2010, at about 3:30 p.m., during Guard machine gun training on the post. High winds and dry brush pushed it toward the Cove and Herriman Heights neighborhoods. It burned about 4,000 acres and destroyed three homes. More than 1,400 homes were evacuated, some with only 15 minutes of notice, and Herriman High was the shelter.
After the fires of 2010 and 2012, the camp started prevention work. Unified Fire does fuel work on the post, and the camp now has its own weather station. I tell this story to help you prepare, not to alarm you. Herriman's foothill edge touches wild land, and fire season is part of life here.
The post
About 24,000 acres of National Guard land set the south edge. Training sound can reach the edge streets.
The 2010 fire
About 4,000 acres burned, three homes were lost, and more than 1,400 homes were evacuated.
The homework
On the foothill edge, ask about defensible space, check the lot's plants and road access, and talk to an insurer early.
Guns, snakes, and coyotes
A city rule bans firing guns and bows inside the city, with some exceptions. The city also says Herriman is home to rattlesnakes and coyotes, so watch your step on the trails.
Also worth a look
- No mapped fault inside the city. The Provo section of the Wasatch fault is about 4 miles from the southeast tip.
- Liquefaction: "Very Low" at every point tested on the county-adopted map.
- Radon: ZIP 84096 ran above the county rate, so test every home.
- Hillside lots: ask for a geotechnical report. The east side is not mapped.
- Insurance: the state notes that a normal homeowner policy may not cover ground hazards.
- The law: Utah does not make agents check for ground hazards, so the check is yours to make.
Ask me about any of these on a home you like, and I will tell you what the record shows. Your agent on the ground can set up the radon test and the inspection.

Financing your move
How do I pay for a home here?
Short answerGet pre-approved before you shop. USDA loans do not apply in Herriman.
Sort the financing before the search. The best first step is to get pre-approved. That means a lender checks your finances and tells you how much you can borrow. It shows what you can spend, and it makes your offer stronger.
Herriman's tax bill is built differently from its neighbors', so budget from a real bill. The city has a small levy, and police and fire have their own. The school district and the county are on it too. A lender can fold that into your plan. Pull the full bill for the parcel you like, and do not guess from a neighboring city.
New construction adds a timeline. On a new phase, the builder sets the build schedule and your loan timeline has to line up with it. Talk to a lender before you sign a build contract, not after. Water matters too. Whether a house has secondary water or waters its yard with drinking water changes the summer budget, so ask up front.
One loan type does not apply here. USDA loans are for rural homes, and the USDA map shows every Herriman point tested as ineligible. Conventional, FHA, and VA loans are the ones to look at.
Highlights
- Get pre-approved first. It shows what you can spend and makes your offer stronger.
- The tax bill has city, police, and fire lines, plus school and county lines.
- On a new home, the build schedule and loan timeline have to line up.
- Secondary water or drinking water on the lawn changes the summer budget.
- The USDA map shows every Herriman point tested as outside the loan area.
- The loan guides on this site explain each loan type in plain English.

Employment centers
Where do people work in Herriman?
Short answerMost people drive to work, and the average trip is 27.1 minutes. Lehi is about 19 minutes south, and downtown Salt Lake City about 32 minutes north. About 24 workers in 100 work from home.
Herriman has homes first and jobs second. Most people who live here drive out to work. The average trip to work is 27.1 minutes (Census, 2020 to 2024). That is the longest of the nearby cities on the same survey. Riverton runs 24.8, South Jordan and West Jordan 24.1, Draper 24.0, and Bluffdale 21.1.
About 62 workers in 100 drive alone, and about 11 in 100 carpool. About 24 in 100 work from home, which is close to 1 in 4. About 1 in 100 ride transit. These numbers count Herriman residents, wherever the job is.
People drive to Lehi and Draper along I-15, to South Jordan, to downtown Salt Lake City, and to the airport area. Lehi, where the Silicon Slopes offices are, is about 19 minutes away. Downtown Salt Lake City is about 32 minutes north.
Jobs inside the city
Jobs inside Herriman come mostly from public places. They include the Jordan School District schools, the city itself with its own police department, the Herriman campus, and the Zions Bank Real Academy. The city does not give job counts, so I do not rank them.
The city is also working to add business. On December 11, 2024, the City Council voted 4 to 0 for agreements on The Commons at Herriman Towne Center. They include property tax and sales tax incentives meant to attract businesses. The shopping topic tells what has opened there.
Salt Lake County as a whole had about 806,300 jobs in March 2026 (BLS). The average weekly wage was $1,666. If you work from home, my guide for remote workers in Utah covers what to check before you move.
Highlights
- The average trip to work is 27.1 minutes, the longest of the nearby cities.
- About 24 workers in 100 work from home.
- About 1 in 100 ride transit to work.
- In-city jobs are mostly schools, the city, the Herriman campus, and the Real Academy.
- The council voted for business incentives at The Commons in December 2024.
- Lehi is about 19 minutes away, and downtown Salt Lake City about 32.

Healthcare
Is there a hospital in Herriman?
Short answerNo, but Herriman has a 24-hour emergency center, and Intermountain Riverton Hospital is about 6 minutes from City Hall.
There is no hospital inside Herriman, but there is an emergency room. Herriman Emergency Center, part of Lone Peak Hospital, is at 13306 South Fort Herriman Parkway. It is open 24 hours, with 10 exam rooms and X-ray, CT, and ultrasound on site. It has no hospital beds, so a patient who needs to stay goes to a hospital. The phone is 385-488-5600.
The closest hospital is Intermountain Riverton Hospital at 3741 West 12600 South, about 6 minutes from City Hall. It is a full community hospital with 97 beds. It opened on November 2, 2009, and its emergency room is open all day, every day.
Trauma centers are ranked from Level I, the most complete, to Level V. The Riverton emergency room is Level IV. Primary Children’s runs outpatient services on the same campus. The main phone is 801-285-4000.

Schools and education
What schools serve Herriman?
Short answerJordan School District serves Herriman, with Herriman High and Mountain Ridge High in the city, and five charter schools sit inside the line. Boundaries change, so check by address. I do not rate schools.
Jordan School District serves Herriman. The district has 68 schools and 55,819 students across Bluffdale, Copperton, Herriman, Riverton, South Jordan, and West Jordan (October 1, 2025). In 2009 Canyons School District split off from Jordan, and Herriman stayed in Jordan. Canyons was the first school district created in Utah in nearly 100 years.
Elementary school runs from kindergarten to grade 6. Middle school is grades 7 to 9, and high school is grades 10 to 12. The state school map puts 17 public schools inside the city line: 12 Jordan District schools and 5 charter schools. The city counts 18 schools, with 8 new schools opened in the last decade.
| Jordan District school | Grades | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Herriman High | 10-12 | 11917 South Mustang Trail Way. Opened in 2010. 2,561 students. |
| Mountain Ridge High | 10-12 | 14100 South Sentinel Ridge Boulevard. Opened in 2019. 2,613 students. |
| Fort Herriman Middle | 7-9 | 14050 South Mirabella Drive. 1,204 students. |
| Copper Mountain Middle | 7-9 | 12106 Anthem Park Boulevard. 1,064 students. |
Student counts are for October 1, 2025, from the Utah State Board of Education. Opening years come from the state school map.
Eight Jordan District elementaries sit inside the city. They are Bastian, Blackridge, Butterfield Canyon, Herriman Elementary, Oak Leaf, Ridge View, Silver Crest, and Juniper. Most run kindergarten to grade 6. Ridge View and Juniper are a pair: Ridge View runs kindergarten to grade 3, and Juniper runs grades 4 to 6.
Charter schools are public schools run apart from the district. Five sit inside the city. Providence Hall runs kindergarten to grade 12, and Advantage Arts Academy runs kindergarten to grade 6. Salt Lake Academy High School runs grades 9 to 12. Salt Lake Academy West Herriman has two schools, one for kindergarten to grade 5 and one for grades 6 to 8. All five were open in the 2025 to 2026 school year, so check each one for the year you need.
Your address may go to another town
Herriman High takes students from parts of Herriman and from Daybreak in South Jordan. The district lists these feeder schools. The elementaries are Aspen, Bastian, Daybreak, Eastlake, Golden Fields, Oak Leaf, and Silver Crest. The middle schools are Copper Mountain and Mountain Creek. Some of those schools sit in South Jordan.
Boundaries change often in a growing city. In November 2025 the school board moved the Midas Creek area, in Riverton, to Riverton High. Those students used to go to Herriman High or Mountain Ridge High, and the change starts in the 2026 to 2027 school year. Now the district is weighing changes for 2027 to 2028 in parts of Herriman, among them Homestead at Butterfield and Juniper Crest. A final decision is expected on November 24, 2026. Confirm the school for any address with Jordan School District, and do not guess from a listing or a street name.
I do not rate schools, and I would be wary of anyone who says which one is best. Check boundaries and programs yourself, with what matters to you in mind. The links below go to the district and to independent sites.
What to know
- Herriman is in Jordan School District: elementary K-6, middle 7-9, high 10-12.
- Herriman High opened in 2010 and Mountain Ridge High in 2019. Both are in the city.
- The state map puts 17 public schools in the city, 5 of them charter schools.
- Some feeder schools for Herriman High are in Daybreak, in South Jordan.
- The district is weighing 2027 to 2028 boundary changes in parts of Herriman.
- Confirm by address with the district, because boundaries change.
The boundary news comes from the Jordan School District board summary of November 2025 and its boundary site, read in October 2026. Ratings and boundaries come from independent third parties and the district, not from me.
Higher education
Is Herriman a college town?
Short answerNot quite, but it has a Salt Lake Community College campus, run with the University of Utah, about 7 minutes from City Hall.
Herriman has a college campus of its own, and it is a short drive from most streets. Beyond it, more colleges sit within a half hour or so. A student can live here and drive to class.
The Herriman campus
The Salt Lake Community College Herriman Campus is at 14551 South Sentinel Ridge Boulevard, about 7 minutes from City Hall. Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) runs it with the University of Utah. Students can earn associate degrees there, and the U offers bachelor’s options on the same campus. The building is over 91,000 square feet. It opened in August 2023. UTA Route 126 stops along Sentinel Ridge Boulevard, by the campus.
Programs and classes change from term to term. Check the SLCC campus page for what is offered now.
| School | Where | Drive from City Hall |
|---|---|---|
| Salt Lake Community College, Herriman Campus | Herriman | About 7 minutes |
| Salt Lake Community College, Jordan Campus | West Jordan | West Jordan is about 16 minutes away |

| Mountainland Technical College | Lehi | Lehi is about 19 minutes away |
| University of Utah and Westminster University | Salt Lake City | Downtown is about 32 minutes away |
| Utah Valley University and Brigham Young University | Orem and Provo | South of Lehi, past the Point of the Mountain |
Times are map estimates to each town in normal traffic, not to the campus door. Rush hour changes them.
Highlights
- The SLCC Herriman Campus is in the city, about 7 minutes from City Hall.
- It is run with the University of Utah: associate degrees, with bachelor’s options through the U.
- The building opened in August 2023 and is over 91,000 square feet.

- Utah Valley University and BYU are south, in Orem and Provo.
Traffic and commute
How bad is traffic in Herriman?
Short answerThe average trip to work is 27.1 minutes. The Mountain View Corridor is the main road, and UDOT is designing a freeway for it. I-15 and Bangerter Highway are east, through Riverton.
The Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) is the main north-south road in Herriman. The city says it runs about 7 miles through the city, along the east side. It opened in 2012, and it is still a divided road with traffic signals at the cross streets. Traffic counts the city prints include 29,000 vehicles a day at 12600 South (2019).
UDOT is designing a freeway along the road from Porter Rockwell Boulevard in Herriman north to Old Bingham Highway in West Jordan. The plan has two general lanes each way, built inside the existing median, and 25 new bridges. Thirteen of the bridges carry cross streets. UDOT says construction is expected to begin in 2027. Check UDOT before you count on a date. UDOT repaved the road from 13400 South in Riverton to Porter Rockwell Boulevard in August and September 2026.
The east-west roads are 11800 South, Herriman Boulevard at 12600 South, 13400 South, and Herriman Parkway. Bangerter Highway and I-15 sit east of the city, through Riverton, so a freeway trip starts on surface streets. Juniper Crest Road and Real Vista Drive opened to the Mountain View Corridor on October 6, 2026.

Utilities and getting set up
Who do I call to set up utilities?
Short answerCall the city utility billing office first. It handles water and secondary water. Sewer, trash, power, and gas come from separate companies.
Herriman splits your setup between the city and a few other groups. Start with the city’s utility billing office. The phone is 801-446-5323, and the office is open Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. You need a water application and the settlement statement from your closing. When a home sells, the city reads the meter for a final bill. The new owner then has ten days to transfer the service. For a newly built home, the builder signs up at the building permit, and you set up service after the final inspection.
| Service | Who provides it | How to start |
|---|---|---|
| Water and secondary water | Herriman City | City utility billing, 801-446-5323 |
| Sewer | Jordan Basin Improvement District | 801-571-1166, or visit 1253 West Jordan Basin Lane in Bluffdale |
| Garbage and recycling | Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District | Billed by the district, not the city. Sign up on the district site |
| Electricity | Rocky Mountain Power | Start online or by phone |
| Natural gas | Enbridge Gas Utah | Start online or by phone |
| Internet | Several companies | See the next topic |
Check each provider for fees and hours. Confirm each provider for the exact address.
Two lines
Water
The city sells two kinds of water. Culinary water is the drinking water for the house. Secondary water is untreated water for the yard, and it is not for drinking. Secondary water is only available to some areas, so ask whether the home has it. The season runs from about the start of May to mid-October. Before first use, the city requires a sprinkler inspection and a meter. A home that uses a swing line also needs a backflow test, which keeps yard water from flowing back. Herriman is a wholesale member of Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District.
Billed by the district
Sewer
The sewer district used to be named South Valley Sewer District. It is now Jordan Basin Improvement District. It bills on its own bill, about $35 a month for most homes. Confirm that with the district for the address. Owners must tell the district within 15 days of a change.
Billed by the district
Garbage and recycling
The district’s basic service is $26 a month. It covers weekly garbage and recycling cans, leaf pickup, and Christmas tree pickup. Green waste is a separate subscription.
Set up on your own
Power and gas
Rocky Mountain Power supplies electricity, and Enbridge Gas Utah supplies natural gas. Both bill apart from the city. Set up both when you take the keys.
What the city bill covers
The city bills once a month. Meters are read on the first business day, and the bill is due on the last day of the month. It carries culinary water, secondary water, a $5 monthly park fee, and a stormwater fee.
Water rates rise with elevation, because the city bills by pressure zone. A pressure zone is a band of streets at about the same height. For 2026 to 2027, a home in zones 1 to 4 on a standard meter pays a base of $34.37 a month without secondary water. It pays $22.90 with secondary water. Higher zones pay more. Olympia, in the northwest, has its own and higher culinary rate table. Ask the city for the rate for the exact address, then add the sewer and trash bills yourself.
Police and fire
Herriman has its own police department at City Hall, 5355 West Herriman Main Street. Its first patrol was on September 30, 2018. Herriman left the Unified Police Department in 2018, a year before Riverton did. The non-emergency dispatch line is 801-840-4000. Police are paid through the Herriman City Safety Enforcement Area.
Unified Fire Authority provides fire and emergency medical service under contract. Two stations sit in the city. Station 103 is at 5916 West 13100 South and is being rebuilt. Station 123, called Rosecrest, is at 4850 Patriot Ridge Drive. Herriman left the Unified fire taxing district in January 2021. It now pays through its own Fire Service Area. The police and fire levies are two entries on the tax bill, as the taxes topic explains.
Highlights
- The city sells drinking water and secondary water. Secondary water is only in some areas, so confirm yours.
- Water rates rise with elevation, and Olympia has its own rate table.
- Sewer is the Jordan Basin Improvement District, and trash is the Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District. Both bill on their own.
- Power is Rocky Mountain Power, and gas is Enbridge.
- Herriman has its own police department. Unified Fire Authority runs two stations in the city.
- Call Blue Stakes at 811 before you dig.

Internet and cell
What internet can I get in Herriman?
Short answerCable and several fiber companies report service. Fiber is thinner on the west and southwest foothill side, so check the exact address.
The state broadband map shows cable and several fiber companies reporting service in Herriman. Across the 73 map points inside the city line that show wired service, Xfinity cable is reported at every one. Fiber is reported at 55 of the 73. CenturyLink fiber and Quantum Fiber show up most, then UTOPIA Fiber, All West, SenaWave, HiCountryNet, Google Fiber, and Xfinity fiber. This list shows who reports service, not speeds or prices.
The points with no fiber sit on the west and southwest foothill side of the city. If you are looking at a home there, check the address before you count on fiber.
In June 2025 the city and All West Communications reached an agreement. The city gets fiber for its own buildings, parks, streetlights, and water system. All West may also use some public utility easements, so crews may dig in part of a front yard. Utah law requires them to repair the grass, sprinklers, and concrete. Other fiber companies may still build their own networks. The city dropped its own network plan because costs rose in late 2023.
That is what the companies report, not a promise for a given house. Service can change from one street to the next. For cell service, look at each carrier’s own coverage map for the address.
Highlights
- Xfinity cable is reported at every wired point on the state map.
- Fiber is reported at 55 of 73 wired points.
- The points with no fiber sit on the west and southwest foothill side.
- The All West agreement of June 2025 lets crews use some easements.
- Look up any address on the state broadband map or the federal one.

After you move
What do I need to do after I move to Herriman?
Short answerStart the utilities, get a Utah driver license, register your car within 60 days, and get an emissions test. Herriman mail goes through the Riverton Post Office.
Moving day is only the start. Here is the short list for your first 90 days in Herriman, in a sensible order.
- Turn on the utilitiesCall the city at 801-446-5323 for water, and the sewer district at 801-571-1166. Sign up with the trash district. Then set up Rocky Mountain Power and Enbridge Gas Utah. Do this a week before you move in.

- Look up the wildfire mapIf the home is on the foothills, check the state wildfire map and ask about insurance early. The home checks topic tells why.
The emissions test
Salt Lake County is one of five Utah counties that require an emissions test. Davis, Utah, Weber, and Cache are the others. A car less than six years old is tested every two years. An older car is tested every year. Stations set their own prices. The county also adds a $3.00 air pollution fee when you register a car in Salt Lake County.
The county is reviewing changes to its emissions rule, but they are not in force. Check the county page for the current rule.
Quick facts

Short answerHerriman has a city reservoir with a sandy swim beach and a hillside trail system. County trails and canyons lie just past the west line.
Herriman is built against the Oquirrh foothills, so the trails start where the streets end. The city runs a reservoir with a sandy swim beach, a hillside trail system, and about 50 parks. Salt Lake County runs two more trail areas on the west side. The city counts 55 miles of trails, 30.8 of them paved.

Blackridge Reservoir and Juniper Canyon
Blackridge Reservoir is a city reservoir with a sandy swim beach, a playground, and a trailhead. It sits at 15000 South Ashland Ridge Drive, about 9 minutes from City Hall. It is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. It has four small pavilions, one large pavilion, and restrooms that are open April through October.
A few rules shape a visit. From May 1 to early September, the lot charges a parking fee on weekends and holidays, and only cards are taken. The streets around the reservoir are permit parking, and other cars risk a fine. No lifeguard is on duty. The water is untreated, and some swimmers have reported swimmer's itch, a skin rash from tiny water organisms. Dogs are not allowed on the beach or in the water. Fishing, diving, and motorboats are not allowed. Paddleboards and kayaks need the state's boater course, which is about invasive mussels.
The state tests the water for E. coli and algae. Every 2026 update through September 29 reported no health advisory. Conditions can change quickly, so check the Utah Department of Environmental Quality page before you go. Trails climb the hillside behind the reservoir.
Juniper Canyon Recreation Area is the city's other big project. When it is done it will cover 72 acres, linking the east side of the Mountain View Corridor to the hillside trails. The east trailhead opened on November 2, 2022, at 4094 West Autumn Spring Drive, about 7 minutes from City Hall. It has a bike playground called the Pit, a pump track, a repair station, restrooms, and a pavilion. A paved trail 3,500 feet long, opened on November 20, 2024, climbs from there to the hillside streets. A west trailhead and a bike jump park are being built.
City trails and parks
City trails are paved and dirt. Horses and bikes are welcome. Motor vehicles are not allowed on any of them, and dogs must stay on a leash. The city warns that rattlesnakes and coyotes live along the trails.

Butterfield Canyon Road is a county road. It starts just past the city line, at the west end of Herriman Main Street. A flash flood washed out part of it on July 22, 2026. The county closed it to cars and says it stays closed until further notice. The trails remain open. The road also closes every winter, from about November to June. The Local has a full guide.
Rose Canyon and Yellow Fork Canyon are county canyons just past the southwest line, about 14 minutes from City Hall. People hike, run, ride horses, and watch birds there. Bikes are allowed only in set areas, and motor vehicles are not.

Ski access
How close is skiing?
Short answerSnowbird and Alta are about 41 minutes from City Hall. Solitude is about 52, Brighton about 53, and Park City about 58.
The Oquirrh Mountains have no ski lifts, so the foothills here are for boots and tires. The ski areas are across the valley in the Wasatch Mountains. Snowbird and Alta, up Little Cottonwood Canyon, are about 41 minutes from City Hall. Solitude and Brighton, up Big Cottonwood Canyon, are about 52 and 53 minutes. Park City is about 58 minutes.
| Ski area | From City Hall | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Snowbird | About 41 minutes | In Little Cottonwood Canyon, on State Route 210. |
| Alta | About 41 minutes | At the top of the same canyon, past Snowbird. |
| Solitude | About 52 minutes | In Big Cottonwood Canyon, on State Route 190. |
| Brighton | About 53 minutes | At the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon, past Solitude. |
| Park City | About 58 minutes | East over the mountains. Its page on this site covers the town. |
Both Cottonwood roads dead-end at the resorts. In a storm they can slow down or close. When the beacons outside a canyon flash, the traction law is on, so check what your vehicle needs. The Utah Department of Transportation posts live road status, ski bus routes, and parking reservations on its Cottonwood Canyons page. Resorts usually open in late November.
Highlights
- Snowbird and Alta are about 41 minutes away.
- Solitude is about 52 minutes, and Brighton about 53.
- Park City is about 58 minutes.
- The Oquirrhs have no lifts, so skiing means a drive across the valley.
- The traction law is on when the beacons outside the canyons flash.
Drive times are map estimates from City Hall, in normal traffic, and they grow on a powder day. Resorts post their own opening dates each fall. Check road conditions before you go.

The stuff only a local tells you
No brochure says this part. Here is the honest version of buying in Herriman, the way the homework reads it.
Most of the city tax is police and fire
Herriman City’s own levy is small. Two service areas, one for police and one for fire, each add about an eighth of the bill. Both raised their rates in 2025 and again on August 12, 2026. Olympia parcels add one more levy. Pull the full bill for one real parcel before you compare towns. The taxes topic has the pieces.
Ask which water system the home uses
Herriman sells both drinking water and secondary water, which is untreated water for the yard. Secondary water is only available in some areas, and it runs from about the start of May to mid-October. Rates rise with elevation, and Olympia has its own table. A swing valve in the garage can be a clue. The utilities topic has the setup steps.
The rodeo and Towne Days are two events
The rodeo runs in late May, and Towne Days runs in late June. Both are at W&M Butterfield Park. The city posts the schedules each year. The events topic has the usual calendar.
School lines move here
Herriman is still filling in, so Jordan School District redraws its lines often. A change for 2026 to 2027 moved a Riverton area out of Herriman High and Mountain Ridge High. More changes for 2027 to 2028 are being weighed in parts of Herriman now. Check the school for the exact address before you write an offer. The schools topic has the links.
Five grocery stores are in town
Lee’s Marketplace, Trader Joe’s, Smith’s, Walmart Neighborhood Market and WinCo are all inside the city. Costco and the big shopping centers are in Riverton. A Target is being built at The Commons. The shopping topic has the list.
Check the fiber map before you pick a house
The state map shows fiber at most wired points inside the city. The points with no fiber sit on the west and southwest foothill side. Check the exact address on the state broadband map. The internet topic has the providers.
Your mail comes from the Riverton Post Office
Herriman has no post office of its own, though most of the city uses ZIP 84096. All mail goes through the Riverton Post Office. That matters when you give an address for a form, so the city page is a good place to confirm it. The first 90 days topic covers the move-in list.
The upper streets run cooler and snowier
City Hall sits about 340 feet above the weather station that gives the temperatures. The highest streets sit about 1,000 feet above it. No station measures the difference. Ask what a street is like after a storm. The snow topic has the numbers.

Salt Lake Academy High School, a charter school, is in the city too. Starting in 2026 to 2027, the Midas Creek area in Riverton moved from both district high schools to Riverton High. The district expects to decide more changes for 2027 to 2028 on November 24, 2026. Confirm the school for an address with the district. I do not rate schools.

The Camp Williams section tells the rest.
Near the south edge, you may. Under the south hillside agreements, homes in set high-noise areas are built with more insulation. Buyers must be told the training site is nearby. Visit a street at different times, including evenings, and listen. The Camp Williams section has the details.

Yes, at the sandy beach, but there is no lifeguard. The water is untreated, and some swimmers have reported swimmer’s itch. The state tests it, so check the Utah DEQ page before you go. Dogs are not allowed on the beach or in the water. A parking fee applies on weekends and holidays from May to early September. The Blackridge section has more.
