Moving here Marriott-Slaterville
Four districts, one bill, five schools and a counter that closes on Friday
Moving to Marriott-Slaterville
Marriott-Slaterville was incorporated in 1999 to be as small a city as a city can be, and almost everything a household meets here follows from that. The drinking water comes from a district that also bills the garbage, the recycling, the storm water and the sewer on one statement. The irrigation water comes from a different district. There are five public schools inside the line and no city police department, and the counter closes on Friday. This page covers who serves what, what the property record actually says, and the questions worth answering before you make an offer.

The short answer
An address in Marriott-Slaterville is served by districts rather than by a city hall with a large staff. Bona Vista Water Improvement District supplies the drinking water and, in the district's own words, bills the city's other lines alongside it so residents pay one bill a month rather than two or more. Central Weber Sewer Improvement District takes the sewer. The Pioneer Special Service District handles the secondary irrigation water. The city runs its own storm water program and publishes a flood plain notice. Weber School District runs the schools, and five public schools sit inside the city line. The city has no police department of its own. Knowing who serves what, and asking the few questions the land itself raises, is most of what moving here involves.

Who to call
Who you actually call here
Start with the water district, because in this city it is the utility that touches the most lines. Bona Vista Water Improvement District, at 2020 West 1300 North in Farr West on 801-621-0474, provides drinking water to residents inside its boundaries, which take in Plain City, Farr West, Harrisville and Marriott-Slaterville. The cities have contracted with it to bill for services they offer their residents, such as garbage, recycling and storm water, so that residents pay a single bill each month instead of two or more. One envelope, four things.
One point the district makes itself, and that people get wrong: it provides drinking water, not secondary water. Pressurized irrigation is the Pioneer Special Service District, which the city names under its own departments. If the pasture is dry, that is a different phone number from the one on the water bill.
For everything municipal, the number is 801-627-1919. The city publishes a staff directory of extensions, so a specific question can go straight to the clerk, the recorder or community development rather than through a form. In a city of about 2,290 people that directory is not a formality; ringing the right person is genuinely faster than any web page.
The one to sort out before you need it is policing. The city runs no police department of its own, and it does not name the agency that covers it instead. Fire cover comes from the Weber Fire District, which Weber County describes as serving all unincorporated county ground plus Hooper, West Haven, Marriott-Slaterville, Farr West and Huntsville. Neither is a reason to worry and both are reasons to ask, so confirm with the city on 801-627-1919 before an offer rather than assuming.
The city runs no police department of its own and does not name the agency that covers it instead, so ask before you need the answer. Public safety sits under the city's administrative services. Fire cover comes from the Weber Fire District, which Weber County describes as serving all unincorporated county ground plus Hooper, West Haven, Marriott-Slaterville, Farr West and Huntsville. Neither of these is a reason to worry and both are reasons to ask. One call to 801-627-1919 before an offer settles who answers a non emergency call at your address, and it is a better question than any statistic.
Who serves what
Four districts and a single monthly bill
This is the table to keep. Marriott-Slaterville was incorporated in 1999 as a deliberately small city, and the practical result is that most of what a household uses comes from a special district rather than from the municipality. Every row names the body behind it.
| What | Who provides it | How you meet it |
|---|---|---|
| Drinking water | Bona Vista Water Improvement District, Farr West, on 801-621-0474 | The monthly bill, which also carries the city billed lines |
| Garbage, recycling and storm water | The city, billed through Bona Vista | Same bill. The district says the arrangement exists so residents pay once rather than twice |
| Sewer | Central Weber Sewer Improvement District | A line on the same Bona Vista bill |
| Secondary irrigation water | Pioneer Special Service District | Separate. The water district states plainly that it does not supply secondary water |
| Storm water program | The city itself, with its own plan and a flood plain notice | Public works, through the city offices on 801-627-1919 |
| Fire | Weber Fire District, on Weber County's description of its coverage | Confirm at the city or the district before you rely on it |
| Schools | Weber School District, not Ogden City District | Five public schools sit inside the city line |
No utility rate appears here; the amounts are on the district's own sheet, and they change.
Two things follow from that table, and both are worth having straight before an offer. The first is that a light municipal tax line and a light monthly bill are not the same thing. This city was designed to keep the municipal side small, and the services still have to be paid for, so they arrive as district fees rather than as a city levy. Budget the whole ledger, not the headline.
The second is that a question about your address usually has a specific owner. Water pressure is the water district. A dry pasture is the irrigation district. A blocked storm drain is the city's own public works. A sewer line is Central Weber. Nobody hands a new arrival that list, and having it is worth an afternoon.
The schools
Five public schools inside the line
Names, addresses, grade spans and the state's October 2025 counts. This site does not rate schools; look each one up on GreatSchools or Niche for reviews and scores, and use the district boundary tool for the exact assignment at an address.
| The school | Grades and district | October 2025 count |
|---|---|---|
| Pioneer Elementary, 250 North 1600 West | Kindergarten to grade 6, Weber School District | 363 on the October 2025 count |
| Venture Academy, 495 North 1500 West | Kindergarten to grade 12, its own charter | 784 |
| Weber Innovation High School, 1007 West 12th Street | Grades 6 to 12, Weber School District | 318 |
| Two Rivers High, 955 West 12th Street | Grades 7 to 12, Weber School District | 155 |
| Horizon Academy, 955 West 12th Street | Grades 6 to 12, Weber School District | 57 |
From the Utah State Board of Education's October 2025 count. Three of the five sit on one block of 12th Street. Weber School District's own material gives a different, undated figure of about 550 for the elementary; the dated October count is the one used here.
The arithmetic is the striking part. Those five schools hold 1,677 pupils between them, in a city with about 2,290 residents. Three Weber District secondary programs sit on one block of 12th Street, a kindergarten to grade twelve charter of 784 sits off 1500 West, and the elementary sits on 250 North. Nothing about that is visible from the road, and it is the single most surprising civic fact about this place.
It is also worth stating plainly, because most descriptions of this city name two schools and there are five. Weber Innovation High, Two Rivers High and Horizon Academy are the three that get left out, and all three stand inside the city line despite printing Ogden addresses on their own paperwork.
If school assignment matters to a purchase, the district's boundary tool is the next step rather than any page, because an address here can feed schools in Farr West and Plain City for the later years, and the assignments are the district's to publish. Ask the district, and ask it about the specific address rather than about the city.
The land
What the property record says
The property record here is small and worth reading carefully. The Census Bureau's 2020-2024 five year survey counts about 736 housing units and roughly 710 households, and puts the median year a structure was built at 1993. The median value of owner occupied units on the same release, table B25077, is $593,100, with a margin of error of about $49,528. That is a five year survey estimate, not a current sale price, and it is the only price figure here; for what is actually selling, the practical city guide is the page.
The build year is the fact that reframes the place. A city that talks about 1850s settlements and open space is, in its housing, an early nineties city. On the ground that means brick and stucco houses on generous lots rather than pioneer cottages or new subdivision, and it means the ordinary maintenance of a house in its early thirties: roof, furnace, water heater, and whatever a previous owner did to the outbuildings.
The land itself is the product, and the neighbors are part of it. Working agriculture is what this city was designed to keep, so equipment on the road, animals over the fence and field operations at odd hours are the arrangement rather than the exception. Anyone weighing an acre lot here should drive it at harvest as well as on a Sunday afternoon, and should ask what the neighboring parcel is zoned for as well as what it currently grows.
And then there is the water, in both senses. Confirm which irrigation water serves the parcel and how it is billed, because that is a separate district from the one on the drinking water bill. On any ground running toward the Weber, pull the current federal flood map, ask the city about its flood plain notice and any overlay, and treat an elevation certificate as money well spent. The city runs its own storm water program and publishes the notice; the parcel specific answer is a conversation with the city, not a page.
City offices
Short weekday hours, closed Friday
The city offices at 1570 West 400 North are the whole municipal estate, and they are also the hall, the park booking desk and the venue for half the city's calendar. The building keeps weekday hours and is closed on Friday, which is the single most useful administrative fact about this city, and the one that catches new arrivals with a Friday afternoon permit question.
Several things here are counter jobs rather than online ones. Park and bowery reservations are made in person, in a window that runs from 15 April to 15 October, and a booking is not finalized until the rental agreement and rules are read, the form completed and the fee paid. The municipal code lives on a separate hosted portal rather than on the city's own site, so a code question is usually faster asked than searched.
None of that is a complaint. A city of about 2,290 people running its own storm water program, publishing its facilities with hours and terms, keeping a monthly newsletter and a senior calendar, and answering a phone with named extensions is doing more than its size suggests. It just does it between Monday and Thursday, at a counter, and knowing that saves a wasted trip.
Living here
The trade an address here asks you to make
The honest summary of an address here is a trade, and both sides are easy to name. What you get is land: acre lots, pasture, open fields and a river bottom, on a valley floor with about thirty feet of relief across the whole built area, minutes from Ogden. What you also get is a small city that publishes its rules plainly and answers its phone.
What you do without is a short list. No swimming pool, no recreation center and no library branch inside the limits, and no police department of the city's own. Add a counter that closes on Friday. Every one of those has an answer nearby, and none of them is inside the city.
The questions that actually decide a purchase here are narrower than that list. Which end of 12th Street the parcel sits on, because the traffic changes by a factor of four across the city. Whether the ground runs toward the river, because the flood map and the elevation certificate live there. What the zoning allows and what the neighbor is farming. And which districts bill the address. The practical city guide carries the market and the purchase side; the page on the roads carries the corridor.
The city was incorporated in 1999 to be as small as a city can be. Everything that follows from that, the districts, the single bill, the counter and the Friday closure, is the design working rather than the design failing.
Quick answers
Moving here, answered
Bona Vista Water Improvement District, at 2020 West 1300 North in Farr West on 801-621-0474, supplies the drinking water. The district states that its boundaries take in Plain City, Farr West, Harrisville and Marriott-Slaterville, and that the cities have contracted with it to bill for services they offer their residents, such as garbage, recycling and storm water, so that residents pay a single bill each month instead of two or more. The district is also explicit that it provides drinking water and not secondary water.
The Pioneer Special Service District, which the city names under its own departments. This matters because the drinking water district says plainly that it does not supply secondary water, so pressurized irrigation is a separate provider with a separate phone number. Confirm which irrigation water serves a specific parcel and how it is billed before you buy, because on acre lots and pasture ground that answer is part of what the land is worth and it is not something a listing reliably carries.
No. The city runs no police department of its own, public safety sits under its administrative services, and it does not name the agency that covers the city instead. That is not a reason to worry and it is a reason to ask, so call 801-627-1919 before an offer and find out who answers a non emergency call at the address. Fire cover comes from the Weber Fire District, which Weber County describes as serving all unincorporated county ground plus Hooper, West Haven, Marriott-Slaterville, Farr West and Huntsville.
Weber School District, the county district, rather than Ogden City School District, which is a distinction worth knowing in a city that borders Ogden and shares its ZIP code. Five public schools sit inside the city line: Pioneer Elementary on 250 North, Venture Academy off 1500 West, and Weber Innovation High, Two Rivers High and Horizon Academy on 12th Street. For assignments beyond the elementary years, use the district's own boundary tool and ask about the specific address rather than about the city.
Five public schools, holding 1,677 pupils between them on the state's October 2025 count, in a city of about 2,290 residents. Three of the five are Weber School District secondary programs on one block of 12th Street: Weber Innovation High with 318, Two Rivers High with 155 and Horizon Academy with 57. Venture Academy, a kindergarten to grade twelve charter, records 784, and Pioneer Elementary records 363. All five print Ogden addresses on their own paperwork and all five sit inside the city boundary.
The American Community Survey 2020-2024 five year estimate of median value for owner occupied units, table B25077, is $593,100, with a margin of error of about $49,528. That is a five year pooled survey estimate for a very small city rather than a current sale price, and in a place with roughly 710 households a handful of transactions move every statistic. For what is actually selling and what it is selling for, the practical Marriott-Slaterville city guide on this site is the right page.
The median year a structure was built here is 1993, on the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 five year survey, give or take about four years. That is a useful corrective to the pioneer framing the city's own history invites: this is 1850s farm ground with mostly early nineties houses on it. Practically, it means the ordinary maintenance questions of a house in its early thirties, and it means outbuildings and pasture infrastructure that may be considerably older than the house in front of them.
The city offices at 1570 West 400 North keep weekday hours Monday to Thursday and are closed on Friday. That is the single most useful administrative fact here, because several things are counter jobs rather than online ones: park and bowery reservations are made in person, between 15 April and 15 October, and a booking is not finalized until the fee is paid, the rules read and the form completed. The number is 801-627-1919.
On any ground running toward the Weber River, yes, and it is the first item rather than the last. The city runs its own storm water program and publishes a flood plain notice on its public works pages, and the federal flood maps for Weber County have been under revision. Pull the current federal map for the specific parcel, ask the city about its flood plain notice and any overlay on the address, get a flood insurance quote during due diligence, and treat an elevation certificate as money well spent.
A small city by design, and a short list of questions before an offer
Marriott-Slaterville does not ask a household many questions, but the ones it asks are specific. Which end of 12th Street the parcel sits on, because the traffic across this city changes by a factor of four and the two ends are different places to live. Whether the ground runs toward the river, because that is where the federal flood map, the city's own flood plain notice and an elevation certificate all matter. What the zoning allows and what the neighboring parcel is farming, because working agriculture here is the plan rather than the leftovers. And which special districts bill the address, because in a city with a deliberately small municipal side the utilities arrive as fees. Tell me what you are weighing and I will introduce you to a Weber and Morgan partner agent who works this side of the valley, and stay on the file for the research and the financing side.
