Rate Breakdown

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

How Property Tax Works in Juab County

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

• Assessment: The Juab County Assessor's Office determines the taxable value of your property annually, based on market conditions and property characteristics.
• 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, if your home is valued at $300,000 and the combined mill rate is 0.01, your annual tax would be $3,000.
• Tax Calculation: Final tax bills are issued by the Juab County Treasurer after applying exemptions (if eligible).

Available Exemptions

Juab County offers several property tax exemptions to qualifying residents:

• Primary Residence (Homestead) Exemption: Reduces the taxable value of a primary home by up to 45% of its fair market value.
• Senior Citizen Exemption: Residents aged 65+ may qualify for a reduction based on income limits.
• Disabled Veteran Exemption: Veterans with a service-connected disability of 10% or higher may be eligible for partial or full exemptions.
• Indigent Abatement: Low-income homeowners may apply for temporary relief.

Applications for exemptions must be submitted to the Juab County Assessor’s Office by the annual deadline (typically September 1).
