Southern Utah desert city — the gateway to Zion National Park (45min east) and a mid-century-built Mormon-pioneer town. Downtown St. George and the Bluff Street commercial axis are the walkable cores. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Utah has state income tax (4.65% flat). The structural draws are dramatic red-rock geography (Snow Canyon State Park is in town), year-round-dry climate, and proximity to Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon North Rim (3-4h). Summer heat is real (July averages 40°C). Heavy LDS Church cultural presence.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
