Hyde Park City is preparing for a public hearing on August 26, 2026, regarding a proposed property tax increase. Under Utah's Truth-In-Taxation law, the city must provide clear public notice and hold a hearing before adopting a rate that would generate more revenue than the previous year, excluding revenue from new growth.
Purpose of the hearing
The purpose of the upcoming Truth-In-Taxation hearing is to hear comments regarding the proposed increase and explain the reasons for it, according to Utah Code 59-2-919(6)(b)(ii).
Estimated impact on taxpayers
The city has released a preliminary FY2026-2027 estimate of the annual impact of the proposed change on Hyde Park homes and businesses. This property tax impact schedule uses estimated values provided by Cache County as of May 13, 2026, though figures are subject to revision before the public hearing.
How to attend and participate
Concerned citizens are invited to attend the scheduled public hearings. Official notices including the date, time, and location for the August 26 meeting are available through the city's official documentation.
