A complete community strikes a balance between sustaining an exceptional quality of life and managing a thriving mountain town, while continuing to preserve and enhance the natural environment. A complete community is one where representatives of all factions of the community are able to live in town. The City’s affordable housing program provides opportunities to households with limited incomes to remain part of Park City’s complete community.

Income Limits and Net-Worth Limits

Income limits and Net Worth limits are based on US Department of Housing and Urban Development calculations of Area Median Income (AMI) which adjusts with household size. Net-Worth is the total assets accumulated by all household members such as stocks, bonds, retirement accounts, property, and cash. The following charts illustrate current income and net-worth limits. Limits adjust in April of each year.
