Is my property over-assessed in Salt Lake County?

You're over-assessed when the County's value is higher than what your home would actually sell for — and then you're over-paying every year until you appeal. Utah appeals to the County Board of Equalization are due September 15, or 45 days after a value-change notice (whichever is later), per Utah Code §59-2-1004. Utah is a NON-DISCLOSURE state — sale prices are not public — so the over-assessment-via-sale check cannot run; argue from comparable assessed values and any appraisal you commission.

Honest null: Salt Lake County is in a non-disclosure state — sale prices aren't public — so no service (including us) can prove your over-assessment from a sale comparison. Instead, argue from comparable assessed values (the equity argument) and any independent appraisal. The deadline above still applies and is the thing not to miss.

How to appeal your Salt Lake County assessment — and who files it for you

  1. Pull your current assessed value from the Salt Lake County assessor portal.
  2. Find your market value — a recent sale of your home, or comparable nearby sales.
  3. If the County's number is higher, file an appeal with the County Board of Equalization by September 15.
  4. Present your comparables (and any appraisal) at the hearing.

Most owners who win use a contingency property-tax appeal firm — it costs nothing unless they cut your bill, then takes a share of the first-year saving. About 95% of over-assessed owners never appeal, so the saving is usually left on the table.
