The Farmington Tithing Office, at 110 N. Main St. in Farmington, Utah, was built during 1907-1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]

It is significant, according to a 1984 Utah State Historical Society review, "as one of 32 well preserved tithing buildings in Utah that were part of the successful "in-kind" tithing system of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS church) between the 1850s and about 1910."[2]:2

Formerly used as Farmington's town hall, the building now houses the Farmington Historical Museum.
