Understanding

Your Tax Notice

Utah State Law requires the County to issue the Tax Notice each year for real property.  This Tax Notice not only has taxes collected by the County, but also other taxing entities in the area.  Such as: State School Board, Special Service Districts, City Government, Local School Board and possibly others.

The amount that the County collects from you each year, is then distributed to each of the entities listed on your Tax Notice.

Below you will find an image that will help you understand the many sections of the Tax Notice.  These areas all come from each of the tax offices of the county.

The Assessor decides the Property Type, and Market Value

The Recorder reports the Owner, Legal Description, Acreage, and Parcel Number

The Auditor works with the Commission to set the Tax Rate for the county.  The other tax rates come from the respective entities.

The Treasure will collect the Total Amount Due, and then distribute the funds to all of the entities.
