Rate Breakdown

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

How Property Tax Works in Weber County

Property taxes in Weber County are calculated based on the assessed value of your property and the applicable tax rates (millage rates). The Weber County Assessor's Office determines the assessed value by evaluating market conditions, property characteristics, and recent sales data. Utah law requires that residential properties be assessed at 55% of their fair market value.

• Millage Rates: Tax rates are set by local taxing entities (e.g., school districts, cities, and counties) and are applied per $1,000 of assessed value. For example, if the combined millage rate is 0.0105 and your home's assessed value is $200,000, your annual tax would be $2,100.
• Notice of Valuation: Property owners receive an annual notice in July detailing their assessed value. Taxes are due in November and can be paid in two installments.

Available Exemptions

Weber County offers several property tax exemptions to eligible residents:

• Primary Residence (Homestead) Exemption: Reduces the taxable value of a primary home by up to 45% of its fair market value, capped at $1,000 in tax savings.
• Senior Citizen Exemption: Available to homeowners aged 65+ with income limits. This exemption can reduce taxable value by up to $1,750.
• Disabled Veteran Exemption: Veterans with a service-connected disability of 10% or more may qualify for a reduction in taxable value, with 100% exemptions for total disability.
• Circuit Breaker Program: Low-income seniors or disabled individuals may qualify for a tax credit based on income and property tax burden.

Applications for exemptions must be submitted to the Weber County Assessor's Office by September 1.

Payment Schedule & Deadlines

Weber County property taxes are due annually, with flexible payment options:

• Full Payment Deadline: November 30. Pay the entire tax bill by this date to avoid penalties.
• Installment Option: Split payments into two installments—due November 30 and May 31—with no interest if paid on time.
• Late Payments: A 2% penalty is added in December, plus 1% interest monthly thereafter. Delinquent taxes may result in a tax lien or auction.

Payments can be made online, by mail, or in person at the Weber County Treasurer's Office.

Appealing Your Assessment

If you believe your property's assessed value is incorrect, you can appeal to the Weber County Board of Equalization:

• Required Documentation: Provide evidence such as recent appraisals, comparable sales data, or photos of property defects.
• Process: Submit a written appeal to the Weber County Clerk’s Office. If unsatisfied with the result, you may appeal further to the Utah State Tax Commission.
