Tremonton at a glance

Box Elder County · Utah

Tremonton is a Box Elder County city in the Bear River Valley, and it calls itself the City of Connections. Its Parks and Recreation department, based at 614 N. 1000 W., describes eight parks, about 35 sports leagues and programs offered each year, more than 1,400 youth participants a year and 12 community events hosted yearly.

The city's older core is a National Register of Historic Places district. The city's page says the district runs between 1000 North and 600 South and between 300 East and 400 West, and that a National Register listing does not by itself restrict what owners can do with their buildings; local zoning still governs alterations or demolition, and Tremonton has no zoning rules specific to historic preservation. The page notes that owners of contributing buildings may qualify for Utah's historic preservation tax credit, which it describes as 20% of rehabilitation costs. Anyone planning work on an older building should read the city's tax-credit documents and ask the Community Development department what applies.
