Rate Breakdown

Property taxes in Daggett County are calculated by multiplying the assessed value (minus exemptions) by the total local millage rate.

How Property Tax Works in Daggett County

Property taxes in Daggett County are calculated based on the assessed value of your property and the current millage (tax) rate. The process involves:

• Assessment: The Daggett County Assessor's Office determines the taxable value of your property annually, typically at 55% of its fair market value for residential properties.
• Millage Rate: Tax rates are set by local taxing entities (e.g., school districts, county government) and are applied per $1,000 of assessed value. For example, a millage rate of 0.001 means $1 in tax per $1,000 of assessed value.
• Calculation: Multiply your property's assessed value by the combined millage rates to estimate your annual tax bill.

Available Exemptions

Daggett County offers several exemptions to reduce property tax burdens for eligible residents:

• Primary Residence (Homestead) Exemption: Homeowners may qualify for a reduction on the taxable value of their primary residence.
• Senior Citizen Exemption: Residents aged 65+ with limited income may apply for a partial exemption.
• Disabled Veteran Exemption: Veterans with a service-connected disability may qualify for a full or partial exemption, depending on disability rating.
• Indigent Abatement: Low-income homeowners may apply for temporary tax relief through the county.

Applications for exemptions must be submitted to the Daggett County Assessor's Office by the annual deadline, typically in September.

Appealing Your Assessment

If you believe your property's assessed value is incorrect, follow these steps to appeal:

• Step 1: Contact the Daggett County Assessor's Office to discuss your valuation. Errors may be resolved informally.
• Step 2: File a formal appeal with the Daggett County Board of Equalization (BOE) by September 15 (or the postmarked deadline). Include evidence such as recent appraisals or comparable property values.
• Step 3: Attend the BOE hearing to present your case. If unsatisfied with the outcome, you may appeal to the Utah State Tax Commission within 30 days.

Note: Appeals must be based on incorrect valuation, not tax rates or bills.
