The South Salt Lake City Council scheduled a public hearing for Tuesday, August 11, 2026, to receive public input regarding a proposed increase to property tax revenue. The meeting is scheduled to commence at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located at 220 East Morris Avenue, Suite 200.
According to a August 7 statement, the proposed tax increase would impact residential and business properties differently. For a $470,000 residence, the tax would increase from $644.44 to $727.94, representing an annual increase of $83.50. For a $470,000 business, the tax would rise from $1,171.71 to $1,323.52, an annual increase of $151.81.
If the proposed budget is approved, the City of South Salt Lake would receive an additional $1,839,537 in property tax revenue per year. This would represent a 12.99% increase in the property tax budgeted revenue compared to the previous year, excluding eligible new growth.
The meeting agenda includes a presentation by Stewart Okobia for the City to provide information and answer questions. Following the presentation, the public hearing will open for input before the Council moves to discussion and potential action. Potential actions include adopting the proposed Public Safety Service Levy Property Tax rate or adopting each fund budget separately by ordinance.
