How First-Time Buyers in Utah Can Use the $20,000 Down Payment Assistance Program (2025 Guide)
By Lone Rock Condos — Hurricane, Utah
For many first-time homebuyers in Utah, the biggest challenge isn’t the monthly payment — it’s coming up with the down payment and closing costs required to get into a home. In an effort to help new buyers break into the market, the State of Utah created one of the most appealing homeownership incentives in the country: a $20,000 interest-free loan for qualifying first-time buyers.
This program has already helped thousands of Utah residents become homeowners, and it’s available right now for qualified purchases, including newly built condos in Hurricane and Washington County.
Here’s how the $20,000 program works — and how buyers at Lone Rock Condos can use it today.
⭐ What Is Utah’s $20,000 First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Program?
Utah created the First-Time Homebuyer Assistance Program to help residents overcome the rising cost of down payments, closing fees, and interest rates. Eligible buyers can receive:
💰 A $20,000 loan from the State of Utah
0% interest
No monthly payments
Not due until the home is sold or refinanced
This money can be used for:
Down payment
Closing costs
Buying down your interest rate (a major benefit with today’s rates)
Or a combination of all three
The loan is designed to make homeownership possible, affordable, and immediate for families who might otherwise remain stuck renting.
🏡 Who Qualifies for the $20,000 Program?
Most first-time buyers in Utah qualify. You must:
Be a first-time homebuyer (no home ownership in the last 3 years)
Purchase a newly constructed home or condo
Meet Utah Housing income requirements
Use an approved lender
Because Lone Rock Condos is a brand-new construction community in Hurricane, every single unit qualifies for this $20,000 assistance program — making our condos among the most affordable new homes in the state.
💵 How Far Does $20,000 Go at Lone Rock Condos?
Here’s where the program becomes incredibly impactful.
Our new-build condos start at:
$225,000 – $235,000
With the $20,000 assistance:
✔ Down payment covered
✔ Most or all closing costs covered
✔ Option to buy down your interest rate for a lower monthly payment
For example, a buyer purchasing a $225,000 condo with the $20,000 program can reduce their upfront cost to nearly zero and lock in a more comfortable payment.
📍 Why Lone Rock Condos Are a Perfect Match for This Program
Washington County needs affordable housing, and Lone Rock Condos is one of the few modern, new-construction options under $250,000. Our community includes:
2-bed, 1-bath newly built condos
Pool, pickleball courts, and walking paths
Beautiful views of Hurricane
FHA approval — ideal for first-time buyers
Low-maintenance living and a well-run HOA
Move-in-ready units (with our newest building ready December 18th)
For young families, newlyweds, college students, and anyone priced out of the single-family home market, these condos offer a rare combination: new construction and true affordability.
🏘️ Long-Term Rentals Are Allowed
For parents buying for their kids, buyers planning to relocate in a few years, or small investors looking for a stable long-term rental:
✔ Long-term rentals are allowed at Lone Rock Condos.
This opens the door to using the $20,000 program now and renting later — something many projects in Washington County don’t permit.

🚀 Don’t Miss Out — These Are the Last Four Buildings
Lone Rock Condos is entering the final phase of construction. Once these buildings are sold, the project is complete — and based on rising construction and land prices in Washington County, we may never see new-build condos at these price points again.
If you’ve been priced out of the Utah housing market, this program is your chance to get in.
