November 2018, Wasatch County Residents authorized a $10 million open lands bond. The bond will be issued in $5 million increments over a ten year period from the initial sale of the bond for 30 years. The cost of the bond for a primary residence valued at $300,000 is less than the cost of four movie tickets. For the total $10 million issuance, it will cost the average homeowner $19.97 per year. Federal funding and private funding can be used to leverage bond funds.
