|---|---|---|

Assessment and valuation workflow
The Assessor estimates fair market value; the Treasurer sends the bill after rates and tax entities are applied. Utah Truth in Taxation notices provide value and estimated tax context and include appeal information.
Exemptions, reductions and tax relief
Residential exemption, Greenbelt, charitable/religious/educational exemption and other relief programs have separate applications and documentation. Confirm whether the issue is classification, exemption eligibility, valuation or ability-to-pay relief.
Assessment appeals and review
The Board of Equalization appeal is administered by Council-Tax Administration with the Auditor as clerk. For 2026 the official page lists July 31 through September 15 for timely appeals. Submit market evidence and factual corrections through the official system and keep confirmation.
Greenbelt and property classification
Agricultural Greenbelt valuation and residential exemption status can materially change taxable value. Use the dedicated division and forms rather than describing every reduction as a homestead exemption.
Correcting a property or ownership record
The Assessor accepts property-characteristic information throughout the year. Recorded ownership questions go to the Recorder. Provide the parcel number, current record and supporting deed or appraisal evidence.
