Property taxes / Who raised them
Who raised property taxes in Utah
Each year every local government gets a “no-increase” rate from the State Tax Commission: the rate that brings in the same money as last year, plus new construction. Going above it takes a public hearing and a vote of that government's own board. These are every one that did, ranked by how far above it they went. A big percent on a small levy can be a few dollars a year; look up your address to see what each one added to your bill.
Where the increases came from
| Year | School districts | Cities and towns | Counties | Special districts | Legislature |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 (votes so far) | 6 | 46 | 0 | 8 | 0 |
| 2025 | 10 | 19 | 8 | 28 | 0 |
| 2024 | 8 | 50 | 6 | 39 | 0 |
Local property tax increases are decided by local boards: city councils, school boards, county commissions and special district boards. The Legislature sets one rate for the whole state, the Statewide School Basic Levy, and doesn't vote on local rates. What the Legislature did to state taxes and fees is on the legislator rankings: who wrote and who voted for each increase.
2026: 60 increases
Boards that voted to raise their 2026 rate, from the minutes, with the percent on the county's notice of proposed increases. The State Tax Commission posts the final 2026 rates next year.
