Findings you can check
- 103 local governments raised property taxes in 2024, and 65 in 2025
From the State Tax Commission's own rate tables: every city, school district, county and special district whose final rate was above its no-increase (certified) rate. Each government's page shows its record year by year.
Every government and its tax record → - Dozens of 2025 tax increases that boards voted for never took effect
37 governments proposed 2025 increases but ended at the no-increase rate. For 28 of them, the board's own minutes show a vote to raise taxes; the Tax Commission denied many under the new notice law (S.B. 202). Each vote is linked to the minutes.
The votes, member by member → - 60 local governments voted to raise property taxes in 2026
68 proposed an increase on their counties' notices. The site has 64 of the final votes from the official minutes, with each member's yes or no.
Who voted to raise, and who voted no → - Every Utah property tax bill, line by line, in all 29 counties
Enter any address to see which governments get each dollar and who set each rate. Box Elder values come from the county's own records; the other 28 counties from the state's parcel maps and Weber County's assessor.
Look up a property tax bill → - 31 sitting legislators won't be back in January
From the state's election results, added up by district (unofficial until the November 24 canvass): 31 sitting legislators lost or weren't on the ballot. Each legislator's page says who won the seat.
Every legislator → - Every vote, bill and floor remark from the 2025 and 2026 sessions
Each legislator's votes, attendance, bills and what they said on the record, with links to the roll calls and the moment in the video. Campaign money from their own reports since 2024, and the PACs that fund them.
