Most of what sells here is land, not houses. Vacant ground in this ZIP comes with a different set of questions: water rights, septic slope limits, which roads get plowed. What to check before you write an offer on Fairview land.
What “Fairview” actually covers
ZIP 84629 takes in a good deal more than the town. Fairview city had 1,203 residents at the 2020 Census. The ZIP also covers Milburn, Indianola, the ground running up Fairview Canyon, and Skyline Mountain Resort, a gated recreational subdivision a few miles southeast of town. When you see a listing count for Fairview, most of it sits up there rather than in town.
That distinction matters, because the three areas run on different rules. Town lots connect to city water and sewer. Resort lots buy water from a public special service district and pay dues to a property owners association. Upper mountain ground may have neither.
The market here sells more land than houses
In the twelve months to September 2026, ZIP 84629 closed 74 land sales against 45 residential sales. There were 167 lots on the market, which is roughly 27 months of supply at the current pace. Houses were running on about a third of that.
If you are shopping Fairview, the odds are you are shopping ground, and the questions are different ones.

What it costs to own inside Skyline Mountain Resort
These came from the resort office in September 2026. Dues are $60 a month. Common area taxes vary by lot and come to somewhere around $40 a year. The transfer fee at closing is $500, dropping to $50 if the buyer already owns property in the association. The current governing documents are the 2015 CC&Rs, which the office will send on request along with the Rules and Regulations.
On winter access, the office names the year-round sections as A, B, C, GC and E. Everything below the snow gates is plowed. Above the gates, access is by tracked vehicle after a snowfall. A few lots in sections M and D may also be year-round, but the office was clear that has to be confirmed lot by lot.
No wells, anywhere in the district. No wells may be drilled inside the Skyline Mountain Special Service District boundaries or on Skyline Mountain Resort property. Not difficult, not a question of buying a right: not permitted. On a resort lot it is a district connection or it is hauling water. Water is bought from the district monthly, at a rate that depends on where the lot sits and whether it has been hooked up, so an unconnected lot is not automatically a lot with no water bill.
