Thinking about a mountain home in Park City? Before you start touring, it helps to have the basics down. Here are the quick answers: Park City is in Summit County, Utah. Its zip codes are 84060 and 84098, plus 84068 for PO boxes. And the city is home to roughly 8,400 full-time residents, with a much larger community living just outside city limits.
Those numbers matter more than you might think. The county you buy in sets your property taxes, your school district, the rules you live under, and the zip code on a listing doesn't always tell the whole story. Below, Mike Gooch breaks down each fact and what it means for your home search. For a closer look at the lifestyle side, check out the Park City neighborhood guide.
What County Is Park City, Utah In?
Park City is in Summit County, Utah. The vast majority of the city sits in Summit County, with a few small portions on its southeastern edge extending into neighboring Wasatch County.
Here are a few related facts buyers often ask about:
Park City is not the county seat. The Summit County seat is Coalville, about 25 minutes northeast, which is where the county assessor and recorder offices are based.
Park City is the largest city in Summit County. It is also the county's economic hub, anchored by Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort.
Not every "Park City" address is inside the city. City limits end around the McPolin Barn on State Route 224. Popular areas like Kimball Junction and Canyons Village are part of unincorporated Summit County, even though they use a Park City mailing address.
So when someone asks what county Park City, Utah is in, the answer is Summit County nearly every time. The exceptions are worth knowing, and we cover them in the county line section below.
Park City, Utah Zip Codes and Where Each Sits
Park City has three zip codes: 84060, 84098 and 84068. Only two of them cover homes. Here is where each one sits.
84060, Park City Proper
This is the zip code for Park City itself. It covers historic Old Town and Main Street, Deer Valley, Park Meadows, Thaynes Canyon, Prospector and the neighborhoods closest to both resorts. If you picture walking to dinner on Main Street or skiing back to your front door, you are picturing 84060.
Most of 84060 is in Summit County, but this zip code does cross into Wasatch County in a few spots, so a small number of 84060 addresses fall under Wasatch County taxes and schools. You can browse current Park City homes for sale to see what is available in this area today.
84098, Snyderville Basin
The 84098 zip code covers the Snyderville Basin just north and west of town, including Kimball Junction, Jeremy Ranch, Pinebrook, Summit Park, Silver Springs, Canyons Village and Promontory. These areas sit outside Park City limits in unincorporated Summit County, but residents still have a Park City mailing address and are served by the Park City School District.
With about 20,000 residents, 84098 is home to more than twice as many people as Park City proper. Buyers here often find larger lots, newer construction, and quick access to I-80 for the drive to Salt Lake City.
84068, PO Boxes Only
The 84068 zip code is reserved for PO boxes at the Park Avenue post office. It does not cover a neighborhood, so you won't see homes listed under it. If you are setting up mail for a second home, though, it is worth knowing it exists.
Nearby Addresses That Feel Like Park City
Some homes marketed as "Park City area" carry entirely different zip codes. Hideout, for example, overlooks the Jordanelle Reservoir just minutes from Deer Valley's new East Village, yet it is its own town in Wasatch County with an 84036 zip code. Always check the city and county fields on a listing, not just the headline.
Park City Population and Growth
Park City has roughly 8,400 full-time residents within city limits, based on the latest U.S. Census Bureau estimates. That number has stayed fairly steady over the last several years.
The bigger picture looks different. Here is how the population breaks down across the area:
Park City proper: about 8,400 residents
Greater Park City (84060 and 84098 combined): close to 29,000 residents
Summit County: about 43,100 residents as of 2025
On top of that, visitors regularly outnumber full-time residents, especially during ski season and major events. It is part of what gives Park City its energy, and part of why demand for homes here stays so strong.
Why has the city itself stayed so steady? Land inside city limits is limited, and much of it is already built out or protected open space. Growth has shifted to the Snyderville Basin and the wider Wasatch Back. Just down the road, Heber City added nearly 700 residents in 2025 alone, according to the University of Utah's Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, making it one of the fastest-growing cities of its size in Utah. If you love the area but want more room for your budget, Heber homes for sale are well worth a look.
Wasatch vs Summit County Lines
Summit County covers Park City, the Snyderville Basin, the Kamas Valley and Coalville. Wasatch County, directly to the south, covers Heber City, Midway and the Jordanelle Reservoir area, including Hideout and Deer Valley's new East Village development. The line between them runs right along Park City's southeastern edge, which is why a few homes with Park City addresses end up on the Wasatch side.
That line matters because the county decides:
Your property tax rate and which assessor values your home
Your school district, either the Park City School District or the Wasatch County School District
Planning, zoning and building rules for additions, remodels and new construction
Which local government you contact for services, permits and public records
Neither side is better or worse. Many buyers love the Jordanelle and Heber Valley for their views, lake access and value. It simply pays to know which county you are buying in before you write an offer. Our Heber neighborhood guide is a great starting point if the Wasatch side has caught your eye.
What It Means for Park City Home Buyers
Summit County Taxes and the Primary Residence Exemption
Utah offers a 45 percent property tax exemption on a qualifying primary residence, which means you are taxed on only 55 percent of your home's market value. Second homes and vacation properties don't qualify, so they are taxed on their full market value. In Summit County, second homes make up a big share of the tax base, generating roughly 60 percent of property tax revenue.
If Park City will be your full-time home, here is what to keep in mind:
The exemption is not automatic. Summit County and Wasatch County residents need to apply with their county assessor.
Deadlines matter. If you miss the county's annual deadline, your home can be taxed at its full market value for that year.
Rules are changing. Utah is adding new filing requirements for some property owners starting in 2027, so confirm the current process with the assessor after you close.
Choosing Between 84060 and 84098
Both zip codes offer a true Park City lifestyle, but they live differently.
84060 puts you closest to Main Street, Old Town and the resorts, with ski-in, ski-out options and walkable dining. Homes here are typically the most in demand and the most limited in supply.
84098 offers more space, newer neighborhoods, golf communities like Promontory and easy access to Kimball Junction shopping and I-80. It is a favorite for full-time families and commuters.
Confirm the Rules for Your Address
Because some homes sit inside city limits, some sit in unincorporated Summit County and others sit in Wasatch County, the rules for things like nightly rentals, remodels and HOA requirements can vary from one street to the next. Before you buy, confirm which jurisdiction the property falls under and review any HOA documents closely.
