Valuation Notices & How to Read Them

We've created a YouTube video tutorial to help you through this process. Take three minutes and watch the video before applying online!

The Davis County Controller's Office wants to inform you about important changes to your annual property tax valuation notice, per Utah Code 59-2-S919.1

What's New on Your Valuation Notice?

  • Voted Debt Services Breakout: Previously, voted debt services were included within an entity's general tax rate. Utah Code 59-2-S919.1 indicates this applies to property valuation and tax changes, specifically notice requirements. You will now see a separate line item specifically for voted debt services on your valuation notice.
  • Truth in Taxation Information: Under the "Truth in Taxation Information" section, you will now find the dollar amount of additional ad valorem tax revenue that would be generated annually for an entity if a proposed tax increase is approved. This is designed to provide greater transparency and accountability regarding potential tax increases.

Understanding the Changes:

  • Voted Debt Services: This refers to the portion of your property taxes that goes towards repaying debts that were approved by voters. By showing this as a separate line item, you have a clearer picture of how your property tax dollars are allocated.
  • Truth in Taxation: Utah's Truth in Taxation laws require taxing entities to provide public notice and hold hearings if they plan to increase property tax revenue beyond the previous year's collections (excluding new growth). The new information on your notice provides a clear monetary figure for potential increases if they are approved.

Why These Changes Matter:

These changes aim to enhance transparency in your property tax valuation and collection processes, providing you with more detailed information about how your tax dollars are being used and the potential impact of proposed tax increases.

Where to Find More Information:

For further details, please refer to your Davis County Property Tax Valuation Notice mailed by the Davis County Controller's Office. You can also visit the Davis County Assessor's and Controller's websites for more information, or contact their offices directly if you have specific questions.
