Proxy Statement

Introduction

The purpose of the Notice preceding this Proxy Statement is to advise you of the time, place and purposes of an Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of Tax-Free Fund For Utah (the “Fund”). The purpose of this Proxy Statement is to give you information on which you may base your voting decisions.

The Fund’s Manager (the “Manager”) is Aquila Investment Management LLC, 380 Madison Avenue, Suite 2300, New York, NY 10017, a subsidiary of the Fund’s founder, Aquila Management Corporation. The Fund’s principal underwriter (the “Distributor”) is Aquila Distributors, Inc., 380 Madison Avenue, Suite 2300, New York, NY 10017.

A copy of the Fund’s 2011 annual report was sent to shareholders of record as of August 30, 2011, a copy of the Fund’s 2012 annual report will be sent in August 2012, and a copy of the Fund’s most recent semi-annual report was sent to shareholders of record as of February 28, 2012. Additional copies are available on the Fund’s website at www.aquilafunds.com or without charge upon written request to the Manager, at the above address, or by calling 800-437-1020 toll-free or 212-697-6666.

The Notice, this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card are first being mailed to shareholders on or about August 21, 2012. This material is also available on the Fund’s website at www.aquilafunds.com. You may call 800-437-1020 toll-free or 212-697-6666 for information and directions if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

You should read this Proxy Statement prior to voting. If your shares are registered in the name of your broker or someone other than yourself, you may authorize that person to vote your shares. If your shares are registered in your name, then you may vote in one of three ways:

(1) Internet Voting

To vote your shares by the Internet, please visit the website at the Internet address shown on your proxy card. You will be prompted to enter the control number on your proxy card. Follow the instructions on the screen, using your proxy card as a guide. If you vote by the Internet, you need not return the proxy card by mail.

(2) Telephone Voting

To vote your shares by telephone, please call the toll-free number on your proxy card. You will be prompted to enter the control number on your proxy card. Follow the recorded instructions using your proxy card as a guide. If you vote by phone, you need not return the proxy card by mail.

(3) Proxy Card

The enclosed proxy card authorizes the persons named (or their substitutes) to vote your shares; the Fund calls these persons the “proxy holders.” As to the election of Trustees you may authorize the proxy holders to vote your shares for the entire slate indicated below by marking the appropriate box on the proxy card or by merely signing and returning your proxy card with no instructions. Or you may withhold the authority of the proxy holders to vote on the election of Trustees by marking the appropriate box. Also, you may withhold that authority as to any particular nominee by following the instructions on the proxy card.

As to the other matter listed on the proxy card, you may direct the proxy holders to vote your shares on this proposal by marking the appropriate box “For” or “Against” or instruct them not to vote your shares on the proposal by marking the “Abstain” box. If you return your signed proxy card and do not mark a box on the proposal, the proxy holders will vote your shares for that proposal.

General Information

You may end the power of the proxy holders to vote your shares by: (i) so notifying the Fund in writing; (ii) signing a new and different proxy card (if the Fund receives it before the old one is used); (iii) voting your shares at the meeting in person or by your duly appointed agent; or (iv) calling the toll-free number provided or visiting the website at the Internet address, both of which are detailed on your proxy card, entering your control number, and revoking your previous vote.

Only shareholders of record as of the record date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

One-third of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, counted together as a single class, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum. “Broker non-votes” occur when a broker or nominee holding shares in “street name” indicates on the proxy card that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

With respect to Proposal No. 1, nominees must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting at which a quorum exists. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are not considered “votes cast” and, therefore, do not constitute a vote “FOR” a proposal. Thus, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will have no effect on the voting for the election of Trustees in Proposal No. 1, because only votes “FOR” are considered in a plurality voting requirement. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” have the same effect as negative votes with respect to the ratification or rejection of the selection of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm in Proposal No. 2.

The Fund is sending you this Notice and Proxy Statement in connection with the solicitation by its Trustees of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting to be held at the time and place and for the purposes indicated in the Notice or any adjourned or postponed meeting or meetings. Whenever it is stated in this Proxy Statement that a matter is to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, this means the Annual Meeting held at the scheduled time or any adjourned or postponed meeting or meetings.

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the Notice, the Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card, will be borne by the Fund. The Fund pays the costs of the solicitation. Proxies are being solicited by the use of the mails; they may also be solicited by telephone, facsimile and personal interviews. Brokerage firms, banks and others may be asked to forward this Notice and Proxy Statement to beneficial owners of the Fund’s shares so that these owners may authorize the voting of their shares. The Fund will pay these firms their out-of-pocket expenses for doing so.

In the event that at the time any session of the Annual Meeting is called to order a quorum is not present in person or by proxy, the persons named as proxies may vote those proxies that have been received to adjourn

the Annual Meeting to a later date and the Annual Meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. In the event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes in favor of the proposal have not been received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to such proposal and the Annual Meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of more than one half of the shares of the Fund present in person or by proxy at the session of the Annual Meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of any such proposal in favor of such an adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted against any such proposal against any such adjournment. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals in the proxy statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes for its approval have been received and it is otherwise appropriate. Such vote will be considered final regardless of whether the Annual Meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal. If the Annual Meeting is postponed, the Fund will give notice of the postponed meeting to shareholders.

On the record date, the Fund had three classes of shares outstanding. All shareholders of the Fund are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each shareholder on the record date is entitled to one vote for each dollar (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fraction of a dollar) of net asset value (determined as of the record date) represented by full and fractional shares of any class held on the record date.

On the record date, the net asset value per share of each of the Fund’s outstanding classes of shares was as follows: Class A Shares, $10.39; Class C Shares, $10.38; and Class Y Shares, $10.42. The Annual Meeting is expected to act only upon matters that affect the Fund as a whole: the election of Trustees and the selection of an independent registered public accounting firm. Therefore, all shareholders of all classes of shares of the Fund are entitled to vote at the meeting, and will vote together as a single class at the meeting.

On the record date, the total number of shares outstanding for each class of shares was as follows: Class A Shares, 25,039,967; Class C Shares, 9,390,773; and Class Y Shares, 7,405,331.

On the record date, the following holders held 5% or more of a class of the Fund’s outstanding shares. On the basis of information received from the institutional holders, the Fund’s management believes that all of the shares indicated are held by them for the benefit of clients.

The Fund’s Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aquila Management Corporation (“AMC”), founder and sponsor of each fund in the Aquila Group of Funds. As of June 30, 2012 these funds had aggregate assets of approximately $3.3 billion, of which approximately $2.95 billion consisted of assets of the tax-free municipal bond funds. AMC’s address is the same as that of the Manager. AMC, which was founded in 1984, is owned, directly, and through certain trusts, by members of the family of Mr. Lacy B. Herrmann. No individual holds with the power to vote, directly or indirectly, more than 24.9% of the voting shares of AMC.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Fund paid $1,944,425 in management fees.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, $467,376 was paid under Part I of the Fund’s Distribution Plan to Qualified Recipients with respect to the Class A Shares, of which $14,608 was retained by the Distributor. With respect to Class C Shares, during the same period, $662,552 was paid under Part II of the Plan and $220,851 was paid under the Shareholder Services Plan. Of these total payments of $883,403, the Distributor retained $180,247. All of such payments were for compensation.

The Distributor currently handles the distribution of the shares of the funds in the Aquila Group of Funds, including the Fund. Under the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor is responsible for the payment of certain printing and distribution costs relating to prospectuses and reports as well as the costs of supplemental sales literature, advertising and other promotional activities. The shares of the Distributor are owned 24% by Diana P. Herrmann, 74% by Mr. Herrmann and other members of his immediate family and the balance by Aquila Investment Management LLC.

Other Information on Trustees

The Trustees have appointed a standing Audit Committee consisting of all of the Trustees who are “independent” and are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. The members of the Audit Committee are Tucker Hart Adams, Ernest Calderón, Thomas A. Christopher, Gary C. Cornia, Grady Gammage, Jr., Lyle W. Hillyard, John C. Lucking and Anne J. Mills. The Committee (i) selects the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (subject to shareholder ratification); (ii) reviews the methods, scope and results of audits and the fees charged; and (iii) considers the auditors’ comments with respect to the Fund’s financial policies, procedures and internal accounting controls and management’s responses thereto. Selection of the independent registered public accounting firm is also ratified by the Board of Trustees. The Audit Committee held two meetings during the Fund’s last fiscal year. The Board of Trustees has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee.

The Fund has a Nominating Committee, consisting of all of the non-Interested Trustees. The Nominating Committee held one meeting during the last fiscal year. The Nominating Committee's charter provides that, in evaluating candidates for Trustee, among other things, the Nominating Committee shall: (a) maintain an appropriate ratio between the non-Interested and Interested Trustees, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; (b) seek Board composition

providing relevant talents from a broad and diverse range of backgrounds, business and/or professional experiences and personal qualities; and (c) seek Board composition that reflects an appropriate balance by giving consideration to, where appropriate, the nominee’s state-specific knowledge, involvement and residence, as well as the nominee’s service and experience as a Trustee of any of the other funds in the Aquila Group of Funds. In evaluating the individual characteristics of a potential nominee, the Nominating Committee charter provides that the Nominating Committee shall (i) consider as Trustees people with the broad and relevant experience, sound judgment and conscientious attitude needed to discharge the duties of Trustees; (ii) consider as candidates people who have personal qualities and traits that facilitate forthright, articulate, objective and thoughtful dialogue among Trustees, management and shareholders; (iii) consider persons whose experience, background and, as appropriate, state profile can be expected to enhance investor confidence in the Fund and the stature of the Board (mutual fund trustee and/or other significant experience on other boards is desirable); (iv) seek as new Trustees those who will be capable of serving for a substantial period; and (v) seek as nominees those who will actively prepare for and participate in person in all Board meetings and related activities. The committee considers diversity in identifying candidates but has no formal policy. The committee will consider nominees recommended by the shareholders who may send recommendations to the committee in care of the Manager at 380 Madison Avenue, Suite 2300, New York, NY 10017. Recommendations of nominees from shareholders are not treated differently than proposals from other sources. The charter of the Nominating Committee is available on the Fund’s website at www.aquilafunds.com.

During the Fund’s last fiscal year, the Board of Trustees held four meetings. Each current Trustee was present for at least 75% of the total number of Board meetings and meetings of committees of which such Trustee was a member.

The Fund does not have a policy on Trustee attendance at the Annual Meeting. At the 2011 Annual Meeting, five Trustees were present.

Shareholder communications intended for the Board of Trustees (or one or more specified Trustees) may be sent to them in care of the Manager at the above address.

Since the beginning of the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, no Trustee purchased or sold more than 1% of the outstanding shares of any class of shares of the Manager or its parent or subsidiaries.

The Board seeks continuously to be alert to potential risks regarding the Fund’s business and operations as an integral part of its responsibility for oversight of the Fund.

The Fund faces a number of risks, such as investment risk, counterparty risk, valuation risk, reputational risk, risk of operational failure or lack of business continuity, and legal, compliance and regulatory risk. The goal of risk management is to identify and address risks, i.e., events or circumstances that could have material adverse effects on the business, operations, shareholder services, investment performance or reputation of the Fund. Under the overall oversight of the Board, the Fund, the Manager or other service providers to the Fund, employ a variety of processes, procedures and controls in an effort to identify, address and mitigate risks.

The Board has a Chair who is a non-Interested Trustee. The Board and its Chair address risk management as a regular part of their oversight responsibilities through contact with the Chief Compliance Officer and other key management personnel, and through policies and procedures in place for regulation of the Fund’s activities and conduct.

In addition, a Risk Identification Group, consisting of the Chief Compliance Officer, President, Executive Vice President and Treasurer of the Fund, as well as the Co-Presidents of the Distributor, meets and reports to the Board as to significant risks and compliance matters. Issues raised are considered by the Board as it deems appropriate. Service providers to the Fund, such as the Fund’s independent accountants, also make periodic reports to the Board with respect to various aspects of risk management.

The Chair also participates in discussions with the Chairs of other funds in the Aquila Group of Funds, to facilitate the orderly and efficient flow of information to the trustees of such other funds. These discussions can include risk and compliance matters as appropriate which the Chair can refer to the Board for appropriate action, including reports by others.

The Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified, that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the Fund’s goals, that the processes, procedures and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness, and that some risks are simply beyond the control of the Fund, the Manager or other service providers. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Board’s risk management oversight is subject to substantial limitations.

The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate because it serves to facilitate the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Trustees from management, including the Manager, and otherwise enhance the Board’s oversight role. The Board has also determined that its leadership structure is appropriate given the circumstances that the Fund invests in obligations issued by the State of Utah, its counties and various other local authorities, and the Board uses the local knowledge of its Trustees as well as their business experience.

Vote Required

To be elected, each nominee must receive the affirmative votes of a plurality of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting at which a quorum exists.

The Board of Trustees of the Fund unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of each of the nominees.

Ratification or Rejection

of Selection of

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

(Proposal No. 2)

Tait, Weller & Baker LLP (“TWB”), which currently serves as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, has been selected by the Fund’s Audit Committee and ratified by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the non-Interested Trustees, as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. Such selection is submitted to the shareholders for ratification or rejection.

The following table represents fees for professional audit services rendered by TWB for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements, and fees billed for other services rendered by TWB, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2012.

	2011	2012

Audit Fees	$19,600	$21,100
Audit related fees	0	0
Audit and audit related fees	$19,600	$21,100
Tax fees (1)	$3,400	$3,400
All other fees	0	0
Total	$23,000	$24,500

(1) Tax fees consisted of fees for tax consultation and tax compliance services.

No non-audit services were rendered to the Fund or any affiliated entity for the preceding two fiscal years. TWB did not perform any services during the last two fiscal years for the Fund’s investment adviser (the Manager) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager that provides services to the Fund.

All audit and non-audit services performed by TWB on behalf of the Fund or non-audit services performed on behalf of affiliated entities within the investment company complex where such engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund are pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Services to be considered between meetings of the Audit Committee are pre-approved by a selected member of the Audit Committee in accordance with applicable regulations and subject to additional procedures established by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee has reviewed all services performed and fees charged by TWB and has accepted TWB’s representation that it is independent in recommending re-appointment of it for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

TWB has no direct or indirect financial interest in the Fund or the Manager. It is expected that representatives of TWB will not be present at the meeting but will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

Vote Required

Approval requires the affirmative votes of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting at which a quorum exists.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of such shares are so present or represented, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, with one (1) vote for each dollar (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fraction of a dollar) of net asset value (determined as of the record date) represented by full and fractional shares of all of the Fund’s outstanding classes of shares.

The Board of Trustees of the Fund unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR this proposal.

Shareholder Proposals

Under the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, shareholder proposals meeting tests contained in those rules may, under certain conditions, be included in the Fund’s proxy statement and proxy card for a particular annual meeting. One of these conditions relates to the timely receipt by the Fund of any such proposal. Under these rules, proposals submitted for inclusion in the proxy material for the Fund’s next annual meeting after the meeting to which

this Proxy Statement relates must be received by the Fund not less than 120 days before the anniversary of the date of this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, a shareholder proposal intended to be presented at the Fund’s 2013 annual meeting must be received by the Fund by April 22, 2013 in order to be included in the Fund’s proxy material relating to that meeting. The date for such submission could change, depending on the scheduled date for the next annual meeting; if so, shareholders will be notified.

The fact that the Fund receives a shareholder proposal in a timely manner does not insure its inclusion in the Fund’s proxy material, since there are other requirements in the proxy rules relating to such inclusion.

A shareholder wishing to provide notice of a proposal in the manner prescribed by Rule 14a-4 (c)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 must submit written notice of the proposal to the Fund by July 5, 2013.

Other Business

The Fund does not know of any other matter which will come up for action at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter or matters properly come up for action at the Annual Meeting, including any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote the shares which your proxy card, Internet or telephone vote entitles them to vote, in accordance with their judgment on such matter or matters, except as noted. That is, by signing and returning your proxy card or by voting by the Internet or telephone, you give the proxy holders discretionary authority as to any such matter or matters.
