Property-tax appeals in Utah
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in Utah.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | Application to the county board of equalization on or before the LATER of September 15 of the current year or the last day of a 45-day period beginning the day the county auditor provides the valuation notice (Utah Code 59-2-1004(3)). |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | County Board of Equalization (the county commission), which must decide within 60 days of the application; then the Utah State Tax Commission (Form TC-194), with further review in district court. |
Notices of valuation mail in July. Counties commonly run an August 1 to September 15 filing period (e.g., Salt Lake and Morgan Counties). A late appeal may be accepted only under narrow statutory criteria, in Utah County practice through March 31 of the following year — do not rely on it. Primary residences are taxed on 55% of fair market value (45% primary residential exemption). The assessor must share its supporting evidence at least 5 days before the hearing.
What wins in Utah
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
