Davis County Property Assessor 2026: Search & Tax Records

by
Davis County Utah Property Records 2026

Davis County Utah Parcel Search, Market Values and Property Tax Records

Davis County has an unusually convenient property-record system because one map-based application connects parcel information, property characteristics, ownership context and tax history. But different county offices still control different pieces of the record: the Assessor determines market value, the Recorder maintains ownership and legal land records, the Treasurer collects property taxes, and Tax Administration handles real-property appeals and tax-relief abatements.

This 2026 guide shows how to search Davis County Property Search 2.0 by address or Property Tax ID, use Recorder searches for owners and recorded documents, verify the 45% primary-residential exemption, understand why a qualifying home is generally taxed on 55% of market value, file a valuation appeal before the 2026 deadline, check up to 10 years of tax history, pay the November tax bill, review Greenbelt eligibility, update your tax-notice address and protect the title with free Property Watch alerts.

Three Davis County Deadlines That Matter Right Now

August 2026 is an active decision period for Davis County property owners. Real-property valuation notices are mailed in late July, the 2026 real-property appeal deadline is September 15, and most county tax-relief abatement applications have a September 1, 2026 deadline.
September 1, 2026 Standard deadline for Davis County’s 2026 low-income, blind, disabled-veteran and other Tax Administration abatement programs.
September 15, 2026 Davis County’s 2026-specific deadline for real-property valuation appeals.
November 30, 2026 Real-property taxes are due by 5:00 p.m. under the county’s published payment rules.
Appeal-page discrepancy: Davis County’s Tax Administration page still contains one generic line saying “September 16 of the current year,” but the same page’s 2026-specific section states that the 2026 real-property appeal deadline is September 15, 2026. The Assessor’s Real Property page also uses September 15. Follow the 2026 application and deadline printed on your valuation notice.
Missing valuation notice? The Assessor says real-property valuation notices are normally mailed around July 23. If yours did not arrive, contact Tax Administration at 801-451-3329.
Four-office property system

Assessor vs Recorder vs Treasurer vs Tax Administration

Assessor

  • Fair market value
  • Property characteristics
  • Primary/secondary classification
  • 45% residential exemption
  • Real property appraisal
  • Personal property
  • Greenbelt classification

Recorder

  • Current ownership
  • Ownership history
  • Legal descriptions
  • Recorded deeds
  • Mortgages / trust deeds
  • Liens and plats
  • Property Watch

Treasurer

  • Property-tax collection
  • Tax-payment history
  • Online payment
  • Delinquent tax balance
  • Prepayment program
  • Electronic tax notices
  • Tax receipts

Tax Administration / BOE

  • Valuation notices
  • Real-property appeals
  • Board of Equalization
  • Late appeal requests
  • Circuit Breaker
  • Blind / veteran abatements
  • Delinquent tax sale
Most common routing mistake: Property-value questions go to the Assessor. Ownership, tax-unit and legal-description questions go to the Recorder. Tax-payment questions go to the Treasurer. Formal value appeals and abatements go through Tax Administration.
Different state, different terminology: Utah uses County Assessor, Recorder and Treasurer offices. Florida typically separates similar functions into a Property Appraiser, Clerk and Tax Collector. For comparison, see this existing Volusia County Property Appraiser guide.

One of the most important Utah tax rules

Davis County Primary Residential Exemption: 45% Exempt

How the Utah primary-residence rule works

A qualifying primary residence receives a 45% exemption from fair market value for property-tax purposes. That leaves 55% of the home’s market value as taxable value before the applicable tax rate is applied.

55% taxable value + 45% residential exemption = 100% market value.

  • The exemption applies to qualifying residential property and up to the first acre of land.
  • Land over one acre does not receive the residential exemption solely because it accompanies the home.
  • A qualifying home can be occupied by the owner or a tenant.
  • The county uses a minimum 183-consecutive-day occupancy standard.
  • Short-term rentals and vacant houses generally do not qualify.
How to check your classification online: Search the property → View Parcel Detail → Property Characteristics → Classification. “Primary” indicates the exemption is being applied; “Secondary” indicates it is not.
Davis County default: Because Davis County is not treated as a destination-home area like Park City or Bear Lake, the Assessor says homes are generally presumed to be primary residences unless information indicates otherwise.
Mailing address changed? Davis County may require a Residential Property Declaration when the mailing address and physical property address do not match. Follow the deadline printed on the declaration or Assessor letter you receive.
Primary Residence Information Check qualification rules, declaration forms and instructions for restoring or verifying the exemption.
Utah property-tax value flow

Market Value → Residential Exemption → Taxable Value → Tax

Property characteristics Size, use, improvements, condition and market evidence support the appraisal.
Correct factual errors first.
Fair Market Value The Assessor values real property at fair market value.
This is the appealable value.
Taxable Value A qualifying primary residence is generally taxed on 55% of market value.
Secondary property is different.
Property Tax Applicable taxing-entity rates are applied to taxable value.
Treasurer collects.
Example primary residence $600,000 market value × 55% taxable portion = $330,000 taxable value before applying the tax-area rate.
Example secondary property A secondary residence that does not qualify for the residential exemption can be taxable at its full market value rather than 55%.
Do not compare two Davis County tax bills by market value alone. Primary-residence status, taxing district, special districts, abatements and rate differences can change the result.
2026 filing window is open

Davis County Property Assessment Appeal 2026

Valuation date Appeal evidence should support market value as of January 1, 2026.
Valuation notice County pages describe late-July mailing.
Current status 2026 appeal window remains open.
Abatements Major tax-relief application deadline.
Real property appeal 2026-specific filing deadline.
Tax payment Property tax due by 5 p.m.
Read your notice Write down market value, Property Serial Number and the filing deadline shown on the valuation notice.
State your value Davis County requires the owner’s opinion of fair market value as of January 1 of the current year.
Submit evidence Closing documents, certified appraisal, comparable sales, income evidence or proof of a factual error can support the appeal.
BOE review The Davis County Commission serves as Board of Equalization and makes final county-level valuation decisions.

Evidence Davis County specifically identifies

  • Complete signed closing documents
  • Certified appraisal
  • Three or more comparable sales
  • Sales close to January 1, 2026
  • Income approach for rental/commercial property
  • Proof of square-footage error
  • Basement / garage / carport correction
  • Property-condition documentation
  • Current property serial number
  • Owner’s requested market value
You cannot appeal the tax rate through the property-value appeal. Davis County states that the appeal is for the market value placed on the property.
45-day rule: Utah law generally provides 45 days after valuation notices are mailed or September 15, whichever is later. For 2026, Davis County’s specific materials use September 15, 2026.
Late appeal: A request submitted after September 15 must include the 2026 late-appeal form explaining why the deadline was missed. The Board of Equalization first decides whether the late filing can be accepted; it does not decide property value at that preliminary step.
“I am appealing Davis County property serial number __________. The 2026 valuation notice shows a market value of __________. My opinion of fair market value as of January 1, 2026 is __________. I am supporting that value with __________.”

Davis County Property Tax Relief and Abatements

Most 2026 Davis County abatement applications must be submitted by September 1, 2026. The County Commission may extend certain filings through December 31 when good cause exists, but a late explanation is required.
Circuit Breaker Designed for qualifying low-income homeowners age 67 or older and qualifying low-income widows/widowers.
Indigent / Disability Davis County describes this program for qualifying lower-income homeowners age 66 or younger.
Blind Abatement Qualifying legally blind homeowners can apply for specific property-tax relief.
Disabled Veteran Separate Utah relief exists for qualifying veterans with service-connected disability and qualifying survivors.
Active Duty Armed Forces Qualifying active-duty/reserve ownership and deployment circumstances can support an exemption.
Annual applications Davis County states that abatement programs must be applied for each year.
Early filing benefit: Davis County says that qualifying 2026 low-income or veteran-related relief received by June 30 could be reflected on the July valuation notice.
Do not wait for the November tax bill to investigate relief. The ordinary 2026 abatement deadline arrives September 1—months before the November 30 property-tax payment deadline.

Utah Farmland Assessment Act

Davis County Greenbelt Agricultural Property

Core Greenbelt qualification checks

  • Generally at least five contiguous acres.
  • Actively devoted to agricultural use.
  • Reasonable expectation of profit.
  • Agricultural use for the two preceding years.
  • Production above 50% of the applicable average level.
  • New applications normally due May 1.
Productive value Greenbelt assesses qualifying agricultural land according to productive capability rather than prevailing development-market value.
Land classes Davis County describes irrigated, dry farm, grazing, orchard and meadow classifications.
Leased land Leased agricultural land can qualify when acreage and production requirements are satisfied.
Rollback tax: When Greenbelt land becomes ineligible, Davis County can calculate the difference between taxes paid under Greenbelt and taxes that would have been paid at market value for up to five years.
Rollback payment timing: The county says rollback tax is due within 30 days after notification. Late rollback taxes are subject to the applicable statutory penalty.
2026 application status: The ordinary May 1 deadline for new 2026 Greenbelt applications has passed. Ownership-change, legal-description-change or Assessor-request situations can follow different application timing, so contact the Greenbelt specialist before assuming the property cannot qualify.

Davis County 2026 Property Tax Search and Payment

2026 tax-payment essentials

  • Property taxes are due November 30 at 5:00 p.m.
  • Mailed payments must be postmarked on or before the deadline.
  • Online and IVR payments become delinquent after 5:00 p.m. on the deadline.
  • The county accepts major credit cards and electronic check for online payment.
  • Electronic check is identified by the Treasurer as a no-fee option for delinquent online payments.
  • Tax-payment records are updated after county receipt; the Treasurer says online records normally reflect a received payment within 24 hours.
Find the parcel in Property Search 2.0. Copy the Property Tax ID / land serial number.
Open the Treasurer. Use Davis County Treasurer.
Use Property Search for tax information. The county map application links tax records directly to the parcel.
Verify the tax year. Do not accidentally pay a prior-year delinquency when you intended to pay the current tax.
Review payment method and fee. Card processors charge a transaction fee; check the live payment screen before authorizing.
Save the payment confirmation. Confirm the county’s tax record updates after receipt.
Late-payment penalty: Davis County says a late payment is subject to the greater of $10 or 2.5% of tax due for each parcel.
Reduced early delinquency penalty: If the entire tax is paid by January 31 immediately following delinquency, the Treasurer says the penalty is reduced to the greater of $10 or 1% for each parcel.
Escrow homeowner? Receiving the county tax notice does not necessarily mean your mortgage servicer failed to pay. Davis County sends the notice to inform the property owner and recommends checking the tax record to verify whether the mortgage company’s tax service has actually transmitted payment.
Davis County-specific cash-flow option

Property Tax Prepayment Program

Davis County offers both ACH and coupon-based prepayment options for owners who prefer to spread anticipated property taxes across the year.

Nine prepayments Payments run January through September.
About one-tenth Each prepayment is based on one-tenth of the prior year’s total tax, rounded to the nearest dollar.
No October installment Davis County skips October so prior prepayments can appear on the tax notice.
ACH choice Automatic withdrawals can be scheduled for the 5th or 20th.
Coupon option Coupon payments show the 5th as the monthly payment date.
Final balance Any remaining balance still must be paid by the November property-tax deadline.
This is prepayment—not installment billing after taxes are due. Missing the final required balance or authorization can still lead to penalties and interest.

Long-term delinquency process

Davis County Delinquent Property Tax Sale

Fifth year of delinquency Davis County’s annual real-property tax sale involves parcels that have reached their fifth year of delinquency.
Usually mid-May Property lists are normally published about 30 days before the sale.
Redemption before sale Delinquent property may be redeemed by paying the required tax, interest, penalties and costs before the sale begins.
Current next-sale information: The county’s current delinquent-tax page now identifies May 12, 2027 at 10:00 a.m. as the next scheduled tax sale and says additional information will be posted in April 2027. The 2026 sale has already concluded.
Buyer beware: Davis County states that successful tax-sale buyers receive a Tax Deed similar to a quitclaim deed—not a warranty deed. The county does not warrant buildability, zoning compliance, condition or title quality.

2. Recorder Verify ownership, legal description, deed and recorded encumbrances.
3. Treasurer Verify current tax payment and delinquency status.
4. Tax Administration Review appeals, abatements and delinquent-sale questions.
Buyer due diligence: Add zoning, floodplain, survey, utilities, easements, HOA restrictions, building permits and title-company research when those issues affect the property. Davis County’s online parcel system is extremely useful, but it is not a substitute for a legal title review.

4. How does the Utah primary residential exemption work in Davis County?

A qualifying primary residence receives a 45% exemption from fair market value for property-tax purposes, so the home is generally taxed on the remaining 55% of market value. The exemption also applies to up to the first acre of land associated with the qualifying residence.

5. How can I tell whether my Davis County property is classified as Primary or Secondary?

Open Davis County Property Search 2.0, search the property, choose View Parcel Detail and review the Classification line in Property Characteristics. “Primary” indicates the primary residential exemption is being applied; “Secondary” indicates it is not.

6. When are Davis County property taxes due in 2026?

Davis County property taxes are due November 30, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Mailed payments must be postmarked by the deadline. A late payment is generally subject to the greater of $10 or 2.5% of the tax due for each parcel.

9. What is Davis County Greenbelt property assessment?

The Utah Farmland Assessment Act, commonly called Greenbelt, allows qualifying agricultural property to be assessed according to productive capability instead of prevailing market value. New applications are normally due May 1, and withdrawal or disqualification can create rollback tax for up to five years.

10. What should I do if the Davis County online property record is wrong?

First identify which field is wrong. Contact the Assessor for market value or property-characteristic errors, the Recorder for ownership, address, tax-unit or legal-description issues, the Treasurer for tax-payment questions and Tax Administration for a formal valuation appeal. Bring the Property Tax ID and documents supporting the correction.

County Property Search, Homestead & Tax Help Toolkit

Use this free helper to find the right county office, prepare a property search, understand appraised value, review homestead exemption steps, and organize TRIM notice or tax bill questions before using official county websites.

Built for Florida county property guides
Helps users find official resources
No fake database or approval claim
Useful after every article

Find the Correct County Office

Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Clerk, GIS, and VAB offices do different jobs. Pick your task below.

Quick rule: Property Appraiser = value, records, parcel details, exemptions. Tax Collector = bill and payment. Clerk/Recorder = deeds and recorded documents. VAB = formal value disputes.

Official Property Search Helper

Use this when a county article tells you to search by owner, address, parcel number, folio, PCN, STRAP, or alternate key.

Search tip: If address search fails, try only the house number and main street name. Avoid typing Street, Avenue, Road, Drive, unit numbers, or punctuation unless the official portal requires it.

Homestead Exemption Readiness Check

This helps homeowners prepare before filing through the official county Property Appraiser website.

Important: This is not an eligibility decision. The official county Property Appraiser decides approval, required documents, late filing options, and exemption status.

TRIM Notice & Value Review Helper

Use this to organize your questions before calling the Property Appraiser or preparing an appeal.

Your preparation checklist

Value term Simple meaning
Market value The appraiser’s estimate of the property’s value as of the assessment date.
Assessed value The value after limits or caps may be applied.
Exemptions Approved reductions such as homestead or other exemptions.
Taxable value The value used by taxing authorities after exemptions.

Property Tax Bill Direction Helper

The Property Appraiser values property, but the Tax Collector usually handles the actual bill and payment.

Florida timing reminder: Many Florida tax bills are mailed around November and become delinquent if unpaid after March 31. Always verify exact dates, discounts, and payment fees with the official county Tax Collector.
