Requested Agenda Title:
Consideration by the Council to Provide Additional Resources Not to Exceed $10,000 for the County Auditor to Provide Additional Notice About Property Tax Relief and Deferment Programs in the Annual Notice of Valuation Mailing
Requested Agenda Item Description: Salt Lake County provides several property tax relief programs for eligible residents consistent with state law. The Council also approved the 2023 implementation of a property tax deferral program for eligible seniors at its April 25, 2023 meetings. While the County Treasurer is responsible for implementing these tax relief and deferral programs, taxpayers will benefit from receiving earlier notice about these programs - along with the applicable dates for applying - when the County Auditor transmits the annual notice of valuation (NOV) to taxpayers. This proposed budget adjustment will provide the County Auditor with a budget adjustment not to exceed $10,000 for the actual cost of producing an additional insert with information about the Treasurer’s tax relief and deferment programs that will be included in the NOV mailed to taxpayers. In addition to the mailed insert, the County Council will work with the Auditor and Treasurer’s offices, as well as the County’s communication teams, to better provide information about tax relief and deferral programs to the County’s taxpayers.
