About City of Saratoga Springs

The City of Saratoga Springs is an exciting new pro-development community located on the northwest shores of Utah Lake in the center of Utah’s Wasatch Front Metropolitan Area. The City incorporated in December of 1997. From its very beginning, the City experienced rapid growth and today there is more development interest in the City than at any other time in its short history. The City’s population is estimated at approximately 26,000 residents, a suburban population that works along the Wasatch Front, but desires a quiet suburban area in which to live. The City is among the top ten highest growth cities in Utah. As a region, the northern Utah County area has also experienced rapid development and growth in recent years. Saratoga Springs is only partially developed and it is expected that the build-out population of the City will be over 100,000 residents. Only about 25% of the land area within the City has been developed or is currently planned to be developed. There are six elected officials that make up the governing body—a mayor and five council members. The form of government adopted in the City is a “City Manager by ordinance” form allowed by Utah Statute. The City Manager oversees all City departments and reports directly to the Mayor and City Council.
