Two HOA fees. New construction pricing. Washington County property tax. The budget items buyers at Regency need to confirm before closing.
Regency at Desert Color sits within the larger Desert Color master-planned community. That means buyers pay two HOA fees: one to the Regency HOA (which governs the 55+ section's amenities and rules) and one to the Desert Color master HOA (which covers the lagoon, shared infrastructure, and community-wide amenities).
As of mid-2026, the specific fee amounts for both the Regency HOA and the Desert Color master HOA are not consistently published in public-facing sources. This is common for actively selling new-construction communities — Toll Brothers sets and adjusts fees as the community builds out. The questions to ask before you sign: (1) What is the current Regency HOA monthly fee? (2) What is the current Desert Color master HOA monthly fee? (3) What does each cover? (4) Are there any planned fee increases as Phase 1 amenities complete?
The cost structure below uses estimated ranges based on comparable Toll Brothers Regency communities in other markets. These are for planning purposes only — verify actual fees with the Toll Brothers sales team before any purchase decision.

*Washington County 0.37% effective rate on 55% of purchase price. New construction: assessed at purchase price for first year. Estimate only.
Until the HOA fees are confirmed, a complete monthly budget cannot be built. For context: Toll Brothers' Regency communities in other markets (Arizona, Nevada, Florida) typically run $200–$400/month combined for the section HOA plus master HOA. That range gives you a working planning figure, but the actual number for Desert Color may differ.
New construction properties in Washington County are assessed at their purchase price for property tax purposes. Unlike some states where new construction assessments lag the market, Utah assesses on the sale price from the date of closing. This means your year-one tax bill reflects your actual purchase price — including any design upgrades.
At Washington County's 0.37% effective rate on 55% of market value: a $600K Regency home pays approximately $185/month in property taxes. A $750K home pays approximately $231/month. These are post-exemption figures — remember to apply for the residential exemption with the Washington County Assessor after closing.
