Summit County officials announced Tuesday that property owners should check their mailboxes for official Notice of Valuation statements, which must be reviewed by a September 15 deadline. The county is urging taxpayers to verify that their properties are coded correctly and to confirm they are receiving all available exemptions before the upcoming deadline.
Reviewing Property Valuations
According to a notice from Summit County, the assessment process requires residents to stay vigilant regarding market changes that could impact their tax liabilities. The county emphasized that taxpayers should check their statements to ensure their property is coded accurately and that they are receiving any applicable tax benefits.
One such benefit highlighted by the county is the Primary Residence Exemption. Property owners can check their eligibility and submit applications for this exemption through the county's official website, provided they do so by the September 15 deadline.
Appeals and Resources
To assist residents navigating the assessment process, Summit County provides several dedicated resources. Taxpayers can access specific property valuation details through the county assessor's website at summitcountyassessor.org.
For those who disagree with their property's assessed value, the county offers step-by-step guidance on filing an appeal. These appeals are handled through the Board of Equalization, and the deadline to submit an appeal is September 15.
Taxpayer Assistance Efforts
The county has also established a centralized location for general property tax questions to help serve the needs of the community. Residents can find information regarding how individual property offices can best serve them at summitcounty.info/propertytaxes.
This notification comes as part of the county's ongoing efforts to manage property assessments and tax transparency. The county previously highlighted various initiatives, including the 2026 Truth in Taxation and the Highland Flat parcel acquisition for open space and community use.
Local Municipal Ordinances
While Summit County focuses on property valuations, other local government entities maintain established regulatory frameworks. In Moab, the city maintains a collection of 2021 ordinances that govern local municipal operations and requirements.
Upcoming Deadlines
As the September 15 deadline approaches, Summit County officials remind the public that timely review of valuation statements is essential for accurate tax billing. Residents are encouraged to utilize the provided digital tools to verify their status and secure any available exemptions before the window closes.
County Administrative Updates
The county continues to manage various community projects and public notifications, ranging from fire restrictions to land acquisitions for community use, as part of its broad administrative mandate.
