Applications – Appeal applications and all supporting facts must be filed or postmarked with the Davis County Tax Administration, who is the Clerk of the Board of Equalization, no later than the date printed on the 2026 Notice of Property Market Valuation. Each property serial number requires a separate application. Evidence and supporting documentation will need to be included with each application at the time of filing. Incomplete applications will be subject to dismissal.

Owner(s) Statement of Fair Market Value – In the space provided, fill in the value that you are asking to be placed on the property for 2026. This statement must be completed or the application will be considered incomplete.

Submit Copy of Notice – A copy of your current “Notice of Valuation and Tax Change” must be included with this application.

Basis for Adjustment – The Davis County Board of Equalization has been established to consider matters related to the valuation (market value) of property for tax purposes. Only the current year’s market value can be appealed. Taxes and issues other than valuation CAN NOT be considered by the Board of Equalization.

Burden of Proof – Evidence must be submitted to support your claim that the Assessor’s market value on your property is incorrect. All evidence should be submitted with the filing of this appeal and must support the value as of Jan. 1, 2026. If you fail to present such facts, the Board will issue a “Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Appeal” which allows you 10 calendar days to submit the information requested by the Board. If the information is not submitted within the allowed timeframe, your request for Property Valuation Appeal will be dismissed. Qualified

Qualified Real Property– A qualified real property is real property subject to appeal in the current year and 1) was appealed in the previous year and had its value lowered; and 2) was NOT improved (e.g. renovations, additions) in the previous year.

Falsifying Evidence – An appellant or representative found to be misrepresenting, concealing, or falsifying information is subject to a penalty as set forth by law. (UCA 59-2-309(2))

Authorization to Represent Owner – The appellant has the right to be represented by legal counsel or other representatives at any stage of the equalization process. While legal representation and assistance is the option of the appellant, failure to use this assistance is not grounds for complaint at a later stage in the process. This portion of the application must be completed if a representative is appealing the market value of your property on your behalf. A Business representative must include a legal, valid state license number. Failure to obtain timely representation is not grounds for complaint subsequent to the filing deadline.
