What Magna homeowners should know
Magna is a former mining town on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, near the Kennecott copper mine. It operated as a metro township, a form of semi-independent local government under Salt Lake County, until Utah House Bill 35 let it incorporate as its own city on May 1, 2024. The historic town center has older housing tied to the mining era, and starting in the 1970s, inexpensive land south and east of downtown was developed into moderately priced single-family homes, which still make up a large share of the city’s housing stock. Magna was the epicenter of a magnitude 5.7 earthquake on March 18, 2020, which was followed by more than 850 aftershocks; damage was generally light, though some historic buildings with unreinforced brick walls were affected. Homes near the historic core built before modern seismic codes are worth a closer look for anyone concerned about that history.

Why Magna owners sell as-is
Older mining-era homes near downtown
The historic core of Magna has housing tied to its mining-town origins, and some of the oldest buildings there have unreinforced brick construction that predates modern seismic building codes. These homes are more likely to need structural, electrical or plumbing updates than the 1970s-era subdivisions built later.
2020 earthquake awareness
Magna was the epicenter of a 5.7 magnitude earthquake in March 2020, followed by hundreds of aftershocks. Reported damage was generally light across the city, but some older unreinforced masonry buildings were affected, and it’s a reasonable question for buyers of older Magna homes to ask about any past repairs.
Basement and radon concerns in older homes
Like much of the Wasatch Front, older Magna homes can have basement moisture issues, and radon is a known regional concern. These are common inspection items on a traditional sale, but they don’t have to be addressed before an as-is sale.

Did the 2020 earthquake cause lasting damage to Magna homes?
Reported damage from the March 2020 magnitude 5.7 earthquake was generally light across most of Magna, though some older buildings with unreinforced brick walls in the historic core were affected. If you’re buying or selling an older Magna home, it’s reasonable to ask whether any earthquake-related repairs were made.
Is Magna a city or a township?
Magna operated as a metro township, a form of local government under Salt Lake County, for several years before officially becoming its own city on May 1, 2024, under Utah House Bill 35.
Where is probate or foreclosure handled for a Magna property?
Magna is in Salt Lake County, so probate cases are filed in the Third District Court. Most Utah foreclosures are non-judicial trustee sales handled outside of court, and Salt Lake County runs its own annual May tax sale for long-delinquent properties.

No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
