The City of Tooele announced on September 2, 2026, that officials are currently analyzing market data from 2025 to determine property valuations for the 2026 tax year. According to the city, the residential market has remained relatively stable with slight increases in specific areas, while the commercial market continues to fluctuate based on location and property type.
Residential Market Trends
Residential Market Trends
The residential real estate market has shown signs of stability according to city officials. The analysis for 2026 tax valuations utilizes market information available from 2025. While the market is described as relatively stable, the city noted that certain areas have experienced slight increases in value.
To account for these shifts, the city has applied appropriate adjustments to residential properties. A significant driver of recent activity in the residential sector is the high volume of new growth. The city specifically highlighted an increase in the development of condos and twin homes.
City officials indicated that further residential development is currently in progress throughout the county. This ongoing growth is expected to be reflected in the tax rolls during the 2027 tax year.
Commercial Property Fluctuations
Commercial Property Fluctuations
The commercial market presents a different landscape than the residential sector. The City of Tooele noted that commercial values fluctuate depending on both the specific location and the type of property involved.
New construction is playing a significant role in the current tax landscape. The city reported that many new buildings are currently being constructed, and these structures will be included on the tax rolls this year.
To manage these changes, officials have incorporated a new commercial land guide. This guide was updated to include the latest market information and current zoning regulations as of January 1, 2026.
Commercial property owners should expect to see fluctuations in both land values and improvement values. The city stated these changes result from detailed reviews, site inspections, and comprehensive market reviews conducted to ensure overall commercial values are accurate.
