Salt Lake County Auditor on the Notice of Valuation

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s new this year on the Notice of Valuation?

Per 2022 Legislative Session SB (Senate Bill) 200, certain rates are shown on the Notices. The Utah State Tax Commission’s Property Tax Division calculated “frozen” rates for the State Basic School Levy based on 2018 HB (House Bill) 293, and the Multi-County Assessing and Collecting Levy based on 2020 SB 141 and 2022 SB 20. The “increases” resulting from the differences between the 2022 rates in columns “If Tax Increase Approved” and “If No Budget Change” for these two Funds are not subject to the public hearing requirements for tax increases but are shown so you’ll know the impact of those House and Senate Bills. The rates are uniform in all school districts and counties in Utah. Contact your State legislators and the bill sponsors if you have concerns.

Who is having a Tax Increase this year?
