Salt Lake County Utah Property Records
Search Salt Lake County Parcel Values, Tax Notices, Maps and Recorded Property Documents
Salt Lake County’s property-tax system is divided among several elected offices. Assessor Chris Stavros determines fair market value and maintains parcel and business-personal-property records. Treasurer Sheila Srivastava bills and collects property taxes and administers homeowner tax-relief programs. Recorder Rashelle Hobbs maintains deeds, mortgages, liens, legal descriptions, subdivision records and the county’s Property Watch service.
This 2026 guide shows how to search Salt Lake County property by owner, street address or parcel number, confirm the Utah 45% primary-residential exemption, find the Notice of Valuation, file a current Board of Equalization appeal by September 15, review the 2026 county tax increase, calculate taxable residential value, use Circuit Breaker and senior-deferral programs, pay taxes by November 30, research delinquency and tax sale rules, and search recorded property history without confusing an Assessor record with legal title.

August 2026 property-tax status
The 2026 Salt Lake County Property Valuation Appeal Window Is Open
Property owners can currently challenge their 2026 market value. Salt Lake County began accepting 2026 real-property valuation appeals on August 1. The regular Board of Equalization deadline is September 15, 2026, or 45 days from the original mailing of the valuation notice when that produces a later statutory deadline.
2026 valuation date
Real property is valued according to its status and fair market value as of January 1, 2026.
Appeals opened
August 1, 2026.
Regular appeal deadline
September 15, 2026.
Tax relief deadline
Most Treasurer-administered homeowner relief programs require application by September 1 unless an extension applies.
Tax notices
Official tax bills are mailed by November 1.
Tax payment deadline
November 30, 2026.
Do not wait for the November tax bill to appeal value: the valuation appeal period occurs before the annual property-tax payment deadline. By the time the bill arrives, the regular 2026 Board of Equalization value-appeal window is normally closed.
Important 2026 county budget change
Salt Lake County’s 2026 Tax Increase Is Separate From Your Assessed Value
County portion increase
Salt Lake County reports an approximately 14.65% increase in the County portion of property tax approved with the 2026 budget.
Average-home illustration
The County estimates the increase at less than $6 per month for an illustrative $638,000 home.
Only one portion of the bill
Salt Lake County says its general county portion represents roughly 17% of the total property-tax bill for an average property.
Why this matters: your final bill typically contains roughly eight to ten taxing entities, such as a school district, city, Salt Lake County, library, water or sewer districts and other service entities. One entity’s increase does not describe the entire bill.
An Assessor appeal cannot erase an adopted tax increase: a Board of Equalization appeal challenges the property’s market value. Tax-rate changes and Truth-in-Taxation decisions are handled through the taxing-entity budget and public-hearing process.
Start at the correct office
Salt Lake County Property Records Are Split Across Four Offices
Assessor
- Fair market value
- Land and building valuation
- Parcel-search records
- Primary-residential exemption
- Greenbelt assessment
- Business personal property
- Property-characteristic corrections
Treasurer
- Annual property-tax bill
- Online payment
- Delinquent taxes
- Monthly prepayments

- Senior deferral
Auditor / Recorder
- Auditor mails valuation notices
- Auditor serves as BOE clerk
- Auditor calculates certified rates
- Recorder keeps deeds
- Recorder keeps mortgages and liens
- Recorder provides parcel maps
- Recorder operates Property Watch
Different from Texas appraisal districts: Utah divides property-tax responsibilities among several county offices. For comparison, see the
Dallas County Assessor Property Search guide, where appraisal and tax administration follow a different state structure.

Official Assessor parcel lookup
How to Search Salt Lake County Assessor Property Records
Search by owner, address or parcel number.
The Assessor’s current page provides all three routes.
Select the address from the dropdown.
When searching by address, use the county-generated suggestion rather than simply typing free text and stopping.
Use the full parcel format when available.
Salt Lake County parcel numbers commonly use the format 00-00-000-000-0000.
Open the matching parcel.
Confirm owner, property address and parcel number before trusting the value.
Review land and improvement values.
Check whether the Assessor’s property characteristics agree with the physical property.
Confirm residential exemption status.
A qualifying primary residence should receive Utah’s 45% residential exemption.
Use the parcel ID for every next step.
Reuse it for valuation notices, tax-payment search, Recorder records and map research.
Older detailed search still exists: the Assessor’s legacy parcel search allows owner, address and parcel-ID searches, including partial parcel searches by area/block. Use the newer county valuation search first unless you need the older detailed interface.
Understand the parcel before using the value
Salt Lake County Property Record Field Decoder
| Field |
What it means |
What to verify |
| Parcel number |
Unique identifier linking Assessor, Auditor, Treasurer and Recorder systems. |
Match the full number before paying taxes or ordering records. |
| Owner |
Ownership information used in the property-tax system. |
Use the Recorder when legal title must be established. |
| Property address |
Physical situs of the property. |
Do not confuse it with tax-mailing address. |
| Market value |
Assessor’s opinion of fair market value as of January 1. |
Compare with relevant market sales and correct property characteristics. |
| Land value |
Market value attributed to the site. |
Lot area, access, zoning, location and development limitations. |
| Improvement value |
Value attributed to houses and other taxable improvements. |
Living area, year built, quality, condition and additions. |
| Residential exemption |
45% exemption from fair market value for qualifying primary residential property. |
Only 55% should remain taxable when the full exemption applies. |
| Taxable value |
Value to which local tax rates are applied after applicable exemptions. |
Do not automatically use 100% of market value for a qualifying primary residence. |
| Taxing entities |
County, city, school and service districts levying tax on the parcel. |
Nearby properties can have different combinations. |
| Recorded legal description |
The Recorder maintains the official property-document record. |
Use deed and plat records rather than an abbreviated tax description for legal work. |
New interactive tax-map platform
Use Salt Lake County’s Interactive Parcel Map to Verify Location
Locate the parcel.
Search by property address or parcel number and select the correct parcel polygon.
Compare map and tax records.
Verify the parcel identifier, location and neighboring tracts.
Check ownership and map context.
Use the map as a cross-check rather than your only ownership source.
Use recorded plat information when relevant.
Subdivision, condominium or boundary research may require Recorder Data Services.
Do not treat map lines as a survey.
Precise legal boundaries require recorded survey/plat evidence and, when necessary, a licensed surveyor.
Mapping platform change: the Recorder’s GIS/Cadastral team has moved county tax-map information to a new Parcel Fabric interactive platform. Static tax-map updates were discontinued, although historical maps remain available through Data Services.
One of Utah’s most important property-tax rules
How Salt Lake County’s 45% Primary Residential Exemption Works
Utah exempts 45% of the fair market value of qualifying primary residential property from taxation. That means a fully qualifying primary residence is generally taxed on 55% of its market value.
Example: if the Assessor’s fair market value is $600,000 and the entire property qualifies as primary residential, the residential exemption is $270,000 and the remaining taxable value is approximately $330,000 before applying local tax rates.
Primary domicile
The dwelling must serve as someone’s primary residence.
183-day rule
Primary-residence qualification generally involves occupancy for at least 183 consecutive days.
One household exemption
Only one Utah primary-residential exemption may generally be claimed per household.
Tenant can qualify property
A residence can qualify when it is the tenant’s primary residence; the tenant can be a family member and does not have to pay rent.
Vacation properties
Vacation homes, recreational cabins and second homes do not qualify merely because they are residential buildings.
Rental-pool condominiums
Condominiums used in transient rental pools do not qualify as primary residential property.
Check the valuation notice: the county may send a residential-exemption verification request when the owner mailing address does not match the property address. Do not ignore it if the home is actually your primary residence.
Review the Residential Property Exemption
Confirm the property’s use, 183-day qualification and whether the Assessor requires verification for the parcel.
No one countywide combined rate
How to Find the Correct Salt Lake County Property Tax Rate
Salt Lake County’s Auditor calculates certified tax rates for the property-tax entities operating across the county. The final combined rate depends on the specific city, school district and service districts attached to the parcel.
Select “Tax Rates by Area.”
This is the useful route when you know where the parcel is located and want the combined taxing-area rate.
Use “Tax Rates by Entity” for one jurisdiction.
Choose this when researching a specific city, school district, county levy or special district.
Match the current year.
Do not apply an older combined rate to a 2026 valuation.
Calculate from taxable value.
For a fully qualifying primary residence, use the taxable value after the 45% residential exemption rather than 100% of market value.
Compare the result with the official tax notice.
The Treasurer’s bill is the final practical check because it reflects the parcel’s actual entities and approved tax rates.
Certified tax rate: Utah’s certified-rate system is intended to produce the same property-tax revenue as the previous budget year from existing property unless a taxing entity follows Truth-in-Taxation procedures to increase revenue.
Notice of Valuation & Tax Change
How to Read Your 2026 Salt Lake County Valuation Notice
Property value
Review the Assessor’s current market value as of January 1.
Primary-residential status
Verify whether the parcel receives the 45% exemption when eligible.
Taxing entities
Review the county, city, schools and service providers attached to the property.
Proposed tax changes
The notice can show tax effects from proposed or previously approved entity budget changes.
Truth-in-Taxation hearings
Review listed hearing information before assuming the Assessor controls a tax increase.
Appeal timing
Use the notice promptly because the regular appeal period runs only through mid-September.
Look Up Your Valuation Notice
Enter the property address or parcel number, select the applicable year and download the available valuation notice.

What can be appealed
Total current-year market value.
What cannot be appealed
The Board does not reduce the tax rate or simply change one component such as only land value.
State appeal
A final County Board decision can be appealed to the Utah State Tax Commission under applicable deadlines.
What the County requires with an appeal
- Completed property-tax appeal form
- Your opinion of market value
- Comparable market sales
- Independent appraisal when available
- Photos documenting property condition
- Repair or remediation estimates
- Correct square footage or acreage evidence
- Restrictions or easement documentation
- Income evidence for income-producing property
- Commercial confidentiality/authorization forms when required
Evidence is mandatory: Salt Lake County states that an appeal must include both the appeal form and evidence supporting the owner’s opinion of value. An unsupported “the assessment is too high” filing can be returned or dismissed.
Taxes remain due: an unresolved appeal does not postpone the November 30 property-tax payment deadline.

2026 exemption ranges from $53,546 at a 10% qualifying disability level up to $535,459 at 100%. |
| Active Duty Relief |
Certain service members serving more than 200 consecutive days of federal active duty outside Utah. |

| Senior Deferral |
Age 75+, 2026 household income no more than $81,680, plus home-value, ownership and asset rules. |

2026 Circuit Breaker income table: the maximum homeowner credit is $1,412 for the lowest income tier and phases down as 2025 household income approaches the $44,221 maximum.
Deferral is not forgiveness: the Senior Deferral postpones tax. It is different from an abatement or exemption and should be reviewed carefully before filing.
Utah Farmland Assessment Act
Salt Lake County Greenbelt Assessment and Rollback Tax
Minimum acreage
Qualifying farmland generally needs at least five contiguous acres, subject to statutory exceptions.
Agricultural use
Land must be actively devoted to agricultural use with a reasonable expectation of profit.
Prior-use requirement
The land generally must have been devoted to agricultural use for the two successive years before the requested tax year.
Regular new application
New applications for a tax year are due May 1.
Ownership/legal change
Certain ownership or legal-description changes can trigger a 120-day filing requirement.
Rollback exposure
Disqualification can produce rollback tax using up to five prior years.
Buyer warning: before purchasing Greenbelt land, ask for the current market value as well as the agricultural value and investigate potential rollback tax. A low current tax bill can hide significant deferred exposure if the land is developed or removed from qualifying use.
Open Greenbelt Requirements
Review acreage, production history, qualifying use, ownership-change filing rules and rollback consequences before changing land use.

Five-year redemption / tax-sale cycle
What Happens When Salt Lake County Property Taxes Stay Delinquent
December 1
Current-year real-property taxes become delinquent after the November 30 deadline.
Initial penalty
Greater of 2.5% or $10 for each parcel.
Reduced penalty opportunity
Pay the delinquent balance and penalty by January 31 to reduce the penalty to the greater of 1% or $10.
Interest after January
Remaining delinquency receives statutory interest retroactive to January 1.
Redemption period
The county tax-sale process generally reaches property whose taxes have remained delinquent through the statutory multi-year redemption period.
2026 sale status
Salt Lake County states that the 2026 property-tax sale has concluded.
Do not rely on partial payments to stop a tax sale: Salt Lake County states that redemption requires the full delinquent amount including taxes, interest, penalties and administrative costs. Payments are applied under Utah law and may not cure the oldest delinquency first.
“I am calling about Salt Lake County parcel __________. Please confirm the oldest delinquent tax year, total payoff through __________, all penalty and interest, whether the parcel has entered the Auditor tax-sale process, and the payment form required to redeem it.”
Open Salt Lake County Property Tax Sale Information
Check current sale status, redemption instructions and the next published tax-sale information rather than relying on an old auction list.

What is the 45 percent primary residential exemption in Salt Lake County?
