1. 2024 Election INFO Page! – Ballots are arriving October 15, 2024. We have your school board candidate interviews, and all the supporting DATA from our recent Election Postcard Mailer, too. These are the most pivotal races this November with 3 seats (out of the total 5 seat school board) in play. About 70% of your property taxes go to our school district or state education. See ALL Ballot info too! Go here to inform yourselves on this upcoming election!
2. Wasatch County Property Tax Alert! We have been fighting for you and your taxes for the past 6 years with the County Assessor, County Council, our State Legislature, and the State Tax Commission. The Legislative Auditor’s Office released their Property Tax Audit to the Audit Committee on April 17, 2024! It shows the many inconsistencies that we originally reported in the county assessor offices around the state, and a lack of oversight by the The Utah Tax Commission who failed for years to ensure a fair and equitable tax system in our County alone! Click here to see the new audit, and the latest 2024 tax info!
3. UDOT asked Wasatch County and the municipalities to hold off an any new annexations, development approvals or conservation easements until they determine their “preferred routes” maybe not until the beginning of 2025! BUT WAIT, now UDOT says it will be at least 2 years from now! How long does the county citizens have to wait to get UDOT to finish their process? Go here for more info.
