Kane County Property Assessor 2026: Search & Tax Records

Kane County Utah Property Records Guide

Search Kane County UT Property Values, Tax Records, Parcels and Deeds

Kane County property information is divided between the Assessor, Recorder and Treasurer. The Assessor lists and values taxable real and personal property; the Recorder maintains ownership, legal-description and recorded-document information; and the Treasurer handles property-tax bills, payment history and delinquent balances.

The county’s online system can also display records from those offices on different timelines. That means current ownership or acreage can appear beside an earlier tax-year value or a bill associated with a previous owner. This 2026 guide shows how to identify the correct parcel, separate current ownership from tax-year data, verify the 45% primary-residential exemption, appeal a market value, check tax relief, investigate Greenbelt land and confirm deed or tax status before acting.

What Kane County Property Owners Should Do in August 2026

The 2026 valuation-review season is active. Kane County’s Assessor page lists September 15 as the annual deadline for filing valuation appeals with the Board of Equalization, while the county’s 2026 Commission schedule identifies October 1, 2026 for Board of Equalization business.
Property search EagleWeb is available for public property retrieval. Public users can enter without creating a paid account for basic property information.
Valuation appeal Review your disclosure notice, market value, exemption status and comparable evidence before the county’s published September 15 deadline.
Property-tax relief Several Utah homeowner relief, blind, military and senior-deferral programs use a September 1 filing deadline.
Primary residential exemption Verify that a qualifying full-time residence is receiving the 45% reduction rather than being taxed on the full market value.
2026 property tax Kane County lists November 30 as the annual property-tax payment deadline.
Recorder fees Kane County Recorder announced a $5 increase in document and map recording fees beginning May 6, 2026. Verify the live fee before recording.
Do not assume all EagleWeb fields refer to the same year. The county warns that current recorded ownership and acreage can appear beside prior-year values and taxes that may apply to a previous owner.

Assessor, Recorder and Treasurer Handle Different Property Records

Kane County Assessor

  • Fair market value
  • Primary-residential exemption
  • Real and personal property appraisal
  • Property characteristics
  • Farmland / FAA treatment
  • Valuation questions
  • Board of Equalization preparation
  • Business personal property

Kane County Recorder

  • Current recorded ownership
  • Recorded deeds
  • Mortgages and deeds of trust
  • Liens and releases

Kane County Treasurer

  • Tax bills
  • Tax-record search
  • Payment history
  • Online payment
  • Delinquent property taxes
  • Current payoff questions
  • Tax-notice delivery issues
  • Annual November payment deadline
The Assessor does not set the final tax bill. The Assessor establishes taxable property values under Utah law. Taxing entities levy rates, and the Kane County Treasurer collects the resulting property tax.
Utah works differently from Florida. For a useful cross-state comparison, see the existing Orange County Property Appraiser guide, where the Property Appraiser and Tax Collector roles follow a different structure.

Start With the Exact Kane County Property Task

Find a property Open EagleWeb, enter as a public user and search the available owner, parcel, account, address or legal-description information.
Check taxable value Verify whether the property receives the 45% primary-residential exemption and identify the correct tax year.
Challenge market value Compare the disclosure notice with market evidence and prepare a Board of Equalization filing before the published deadline.
Find tax bill or payment Switch to the Treasurer’s EagleWeb tax search after copying the parcel or account information.
Check a deed or ownership change Use the Recorder because online Assessor and tax-year ownership can lag a recently recorded transfer.
Research rural land Check parcel maps, Greenbelt status, water availability, subdivision restrictions and legal access separately.

Kane County EagleWeb warning

Why Ownership, Acreage, Value and Taxes Can Show Different Timelines

Current recorded ownership A new deed can update the Recorder’s ownership and acreage record before the next annual assessment cycle has fully caught up.
Tax-year valuation The taxable or assessed value can still relate to the annual tax year even when the ownership record has changed.
Prior owner’s taxes A live property screen can show taxes calculated for a prior owner or earlier assessment period.
Kane County’s own EagleWeb notice warns about this exact issue. Current recorded acreage and ownership may display with last year’s values and taxes applying to a previous owner.

Recent buyer workflow

Confirm that the deed recorded. Start with the Recorder before asking the Assessor to change an owner record.
Check the January 1 tax-year owner. The Recorder states that tax and valuation notices are mailed to the legal owner of record as of January 1.
Do not assume a post-January transfer instantly changes assessment ownership. Kane County says ownership changes after January 1 generally do not become effective on assessment records until the following year.
Check notices anyway. The Recorder says its office may forward new notices to new owners as a courtesy.
Verify the mailing address shown on the recorded deed. That address is an important source for property-tax notice mailing.

Major Utah tax benefit

Kane County Primary Residential Exemption

Qualifying primary residential property receives a 45% reduction in value for property-tax purposes. That means the qualifying property is generally taxed on the remaining 55% of market value.

Kane County states that the exemption can apply when qualified residential property is occupied full-time by the owner or by a full-time tenant. Short-term rentals, vacation homes, timeshares and similar transient housing do not qualify.

45% exempt Qualifying primary residential value is reduced by 45% for property-tax calculation.
55% taxable A qualifying residence is generally taxed on the remaining 55% of market value.
Up to one acre Kane County says the exemption applies to qualifying improvements and up to one acre of land.
One per household Utah limits the owner-occupied primary-residence exemption to one primary residence per household.
Full-time tenant can qualify A residential rental may qualify when used by the tenant as a full-time primary residence.
Transient use does not qualify Vacation rental, short-term rental and similar transient use is excluded.
Application timing can require care: the Assessor’s important-date list identifies April 15 for signing the residential exemption, while the county’s current application also describes later-year filing consequences. Use the current Assessor form and ask the office how your filing date affects the tax year.
Do not assume the exemption follows a sale automatically. A new owner should verify the exemption status and file the required owner declaration/application.

2026 valuation review

How to Appeal a Kane County Property Value in 2026

Start by checking the Assessor’s market value—not simply the dollar amount of the tax bill. Kane County’s Assessor page identifies September 15 as the annual valuation-appeal deadline, and the county’s 2026 meeting schedule lists Board of Equalization business for October 1.

Review disclosure notice Confirm parcel, market value, exemption and tax year.
Contact Assessor Ask how the value was developed and correct factual property errors first.
File BOE request Submit the required owner, parcel, value estimate and supporting evidence by the applicable deadline.
Further appeal A Board decision can be appealed to the Utah State Tax Commission under applicable procedures.

Minimum information the county expects

  • Owner name and address
  • Property serial number
  • Your estimate of fair market value
  • Explanation of why the county value is wrong
  • Comparable-property evidence when relevant
  • Property-condition evidence
  • Supporting documents
  • Taxpayer / petitioner signature
Incomplete appeal risk: Kane County’s Board of Equalization materials say an incomplete claim can be rejected unless the defect is cured within the allowed correction period.
Evidence should answer one question: What would this property have sold for in the relevant market, or why is its assessment unequal compared with genuinely comparable property?
“I am reviewing Kane County parcel __________ for the 2026 tax year. The county market value is __________ and my estimate is __________. My evidence includes __________. Please confirm the Board of Equalization filing deadline, whether an informal review is available first and what documents must accompany my appeal.”
September 1 deadline programs

2026 Utah Property Tax Relief Available to Kane County Residents

Utah’s current 2026 property-tax relief publication includes several programs administered through county or state offices. For many Kane County homeowner programs, September 1, 2026 is an important filing date.

Call Kane County at 435-644-2458 for county application instructions and verify your eligibility before relying on the summaries below.

Homeowner low-income abatement 2025 household income must generally be below $44,221, with additional ownership, residence and age/surviving-spouse criteria. Utah lists a September 1 application deadline.
Low-income abatement Qualifying owner-occupied households may receive 50% of current-year tax or up to $1,412, whichever is less, subject to statutory eligibility.
Veteran disability exemption Qualifying service-disabled veterans can receive a prorated exemption based on disability percentage, subject to current Utah rules.
Active / reserve military Qualifying service outside Utah can provide a primary-residence taxable-value exemption when service and filing conditions are met.
Blind exemption Utah’s 2026 publication lists up to $11,500 of taxable real or tangible personal property value, with a September 1 filing date.
Mandatory senior deferral Owners age 75+ may qualify for annual deferral when income, home value/ownership history, mortgage, delinquency and liquid-resource tests are satisfied.
2026 senior-deferral income limit: Utah’s current publication lists maximum 2025 household income of $88,442, along with additional requirements including a primary single-family residence and no delinquent property taxes.
A deferral is not a cancellation. Deferred tax accrues interest and becomes payable under the program’s statutory termination rules.

Farmland Assessment Act

Kane County Greenbelt / FAA Property Records

Utah’s Farmland Assessment Act—often called Greenbelt—allows qualifying agricultural land to be assessed on productive value rather than ordinary market value.

Typical FAA qualification checks

  • At least five contiguous acres unless a statutory exception applies
  • Active agricultural use
  • Reasonable expectation of profit
  • Two preceding years of qualifying agricultural use
  • Required production level
  • Identical ownership when combining qualifying acreage
  • Current Assessor application
  • Rollback-tax exposure when land leaves the program
Productive-value benefit Qualifying farmland can be taxed from agricultural productive capability rather than ordinary development-market value.
Production requirement Utah generally requires more than 50% of average agricultural production per acre for the applicable land type and area.
Rollback tax Withdrawal from FAA can trigger rollback tax based on the difference between Greenbelt taxes and market-value taxes for prior qualifying years.
Kane County timing: the Assessor’s important-date list includes an April deadline for FAA-related filings, while Utah statutes contain specific Greenbelt filing rules. Contact the Kane County Assessor before relying on a generic deadline for a first application, ownership change or parcel change.

Treasurer workflow

How to Search Kane County Utah Property Tax Records

Open Kane County Treasurer EagleWeb. Go to Kane County Treasurer Web.
Use the parcel number copied from the property record. This reduces the risk of confusing similarly named owners or rural parcels.
Confirm the tax year. Property ownership and current acreage can be newer than the tax information displayed elsewhere in EagleWeb.
Check taxable value. Compare the Treasurer’s taxable value with the Assessor record and the primary-residential exemption.
Check payment history and current balance. Do not use an old paper notice as a payoff statement when tax is delinquent.
Save a receipt or payment confirmation. Keep it with the parcel record and closing file.
Treasurer phone 435-644-5659
Address 76 N. Main Street
Kanab, UT 84741
Hours Monday–Friday
8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Never ignore a missing notice. Kane County Recorder specifically tells owners who do not receive a valuation or tax notice to contact the Treasurer so a missed mailing does not turn into late penalties or interest.

Delinquent balance: after November 30, request the live amount from the Treasurer rather than calculating penalty and interest from the original statement.
Long-term delinquency: Kane County conducted its 2026 tax sale on May 28, 2026 for qualifying long-delinquent parcels. A tax-sale deed does not provide the same warranties as an ordinary warranty deed, so title review is important.
Recorded ownership & documents

Kane County Deeds, Mortgages, Liens and Property Watch

The Recorder maintains property instruments, indices, situs addresses and mailing addresses. Basic record searching is available through Kane County’s online system, but the county states that recorded document images require Recorder-office access.

Search the current parcel first. Save the parcel number and current recorded owner.
Open the recorded-document search. Use Kane County EagleWeb.
Search owner / party name and recording information. Use the Recorder index to identify deeds, trust deeds, releases, liens and other instruments.
Compare legal descriptions. Do not assume two parcels with similar mailing addresses are the same land.
Request the official record when needed. Kane County states online information is provided for convenience; request official records from the responsible office for legal use.

Kane County rural-property due diligence

Parcel Search Does Not Prove Water Availability

Kane County’s current water-planning material describes older “dry subdivisions” created without secured water rights or formal water restrictions. This makes water verification unusually important when researching rural lots, recreational parcels and undeveloped subdivision land.

Assessor record is not water proof A taxable parcel can exist even when a buyer still needs to solve water, access, septic or development constraints.
Dry-subdivision restrictions Kane County’s 2026 Water Element says dry subdivisions are prohibited from operating short-term rentals.
Water hauling The county says property owners in dry subdivisions need a Southwest Utah Public Health Department permit to haul water for residential use.
Address does not equal buildability A parcel number or assigned address does not establish that a residential building permit can be issued.
Road access Verify legal and physical access separately from parcel-map appearance.
Recorded plat Compare EagleWeb parcel information with the Recorder’s subdivision plat and actual deed.
Buyer checklist for vacant Kane County land: title + parcel + legal access + water + wastewater/septic + zoning + building eligibility + taxes + HOA/CC&Rs. A low assessed value or tax bill does not answer those questions.
Kane County Water Element Review current county water-planning context before buying undeveloped or dry-subdivision property.

Exactly 10 Kane County answers

Kane County Property Assessor 2026 FAQs

1. Who is the Kane County Utah Assessor in 2026?

J. Ryan Maddux is the Kane County Assessor. The Assessor’s office is at 180 W. 300 N. in Kanab, Utah 84741, and the main telephone number is 435-644-2647.

2. How do I search Kane County Utah property records?

Use Kane County EagleWeb and enter through the public-user option. Search the available parcel, owner, account, address or legal-description information, then verify the property serial number, owner, acreage, market value, taxable value and tax year.

3. Why can Kane County EagleWeb show current ownership with an older tax record?

Kane County warns that its offices work on different timelines. Current recorded ownership and acreage can appear beside prior-year values and taxes that may still apply to a previous owner, so always verify the tax year and January 1 ownership.

4. What is the Kane County primary residential property-tax exemption?

Qualifying primary residential property receives a 45% reduction in value for property-tax purposes, leaving 55% of the qualifying market value taxable. Kane County says qualifying owner-occupied or full-time tenant-occupied residential property may receive the exemption, while short-term and vacation rentals do not.

5. When is the Kane County 2026 property-value appeal deadline?

The Kane County Assessor’s published important-date list identifies September 15 as the annual deadline for filing valuation appeals with the Board of Equalization. The county’s 2026 Commission schedule also identifies October 1, 2026 for Board of Equalization business.

6. When are Kane County Utah property taxes due in 2026?

Kane County lists November 30 as the annual property-tax payment deadline. Taxes become delinquent after that deadline, so owners who need a late payoff should obtain the live balance from the County Treasurer rather than relying on the original tax notice.

7. What Kane County property-tax relief deadlines are still important in August 2026?

Utah’s current property-tax relief publication uses September 1 for several homeowner programs, including low-income relief, blind exemption applications, certain military relief and the mandatory senior property-tax deferral. Kane County’s listed relief contact is 435-644-2458.

8. Can Kane County farmland be taxed at agricultural productive value?

Yes. Qualifying agricultural property can receive treatment under Utah’s Farmland Assessment Act, also called Greenbelt, which assesses eligible land according to productive capability rather than ordinary market value. Eligibility includes acreage, agricultural-use and production requirements.

9. Where do I find a Kane County Utah deed or mortgage?

The Kane County Recorder maintains deeds, mortgages, liens, releases, plats, legal descriptions and other recorded property documents. Basic record searching is available through Kane County’s online system, while official document images or certified records should be obtained through the Recorder.

10. Does a Kane County parcel record prove that vacant land has water and can be built on?

No. A parcel or tax record does not establish water availability, legal access, septic approval, zoning compliance or building eligibility. Kane County has older dry subdivisions, so buyers of rural or undeveloped land should verify water, access, wastewater, zoning and recorded plat information separately.

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.
