Vacant Land in Salt Lake City: 7,594 Parcels, 28,140.4 Acres
Of the 67,578parcels inside Salt Lake City's boundary, 7,594 carry no structure in Salt Lake County Assessor records — defined here as $0 improvement value and zero building square footage. That is 11.2% of all parcels, concentrated heavily in open space, airport, and agricultural districts, with meaningful pockets in residential and mixed-use zones.
A caution before treating this as a buy list: fully tax-exempt government and institutional parcels can show $0 improvement value even where minor structures exist, and utility right-of-way slivers are rarely developable. The signal is strongest on privately held vacant parcels in residential and mixed-use districts.
