ULCT Property Tax Discussion tonight in South Ogden

The Utah League of Cities and Towns is hosting a Property Tax Discussion tonight in South Ogden. Interestingly, the ULCT is the same group who supported HB466, the infamous bill that allowed Powder Mountain to file for incorporation.

The text is quite small, so we will copy it here:

MARCH 26TH – SOUTH OGDEN CITY HALL 7:00 – 8:00PM 3950 S. ADAMS AVE, COUNCIL CHAMBER (PARKING ON EAST SIDE)

BRING YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT TRUTH-IN-TAXATION AND LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES. THERE IS NO COST TO ATTEND.
Does anyone really know how property tax rates are determined? What is truth-in-taxation? How can property tax revenue not increase during times of significant increases in property values? How are the homes assessed in your community? Citizens often turn to their local mayors and city council members to answer these questions…but answering these questions is not always easy. (A shorter version of this same presentation will be part of the agenda at our Midyear Conference in St. George April 9-11.)

Roger Tew, ULCT Sr. Policy Analyst, will partner with your local county assessor to provide a short presentation and answer your property tax questions…so you can be better prepared this budget season to respond to any property tax questions your constituents may have.
