Tooele County Property Assessor 2026: Search & Tax Records

Tooele County • Utah • 2026 parcel & tax guide

Search Tooele Property Values, Parcels, Taxable Value & Recorded Land Records

A Tooele County assessor property search starts with the County Assessor and EagleWeb. The current system connects parcel/property information with Recorder records, while the Treasurer maintains a separate tax-account system for amounts due and payment history.

For 2026, there is another reason to check your record now: Tooele County’s Board of Equalization portal is accepting 2026 market-value appeals. Utah values locally assessed real property as of January 1 each year, and appeals focus on that market value—not simply on whether the resulting tax bill feels high.

2026 action window — updated August 13, 2026: Tooele County’s online Board of Equalization portal is accepting 2026 market-value appeals and asks owners to submit appeal information by August 31, 2026 to expedite processing. Utah’s general County Board of Equalization filing deadline is September 15 each tax year.
Deadline warning: Tooele County’s live 2026 appeal page still displays an old line saying no appeals will be accepted after September 15, 2025. Because that year is clearly stale while the same page identifies the appeal as a 2026 valuation appeal, do not rely on that old line. If you plan to file after August 31, confirm the current filing cutoff with the Auditor at 435-843-3312.
Choose the correct office

Tooele Assessor, Treasurer, Auditor or Recorder?

County Assessor

Start here for the value and property record.

  • Market value
  • Property characteristics
  • Real-property appraisal
  • Primary residential status
  • Greenbelt assessment
  • Personal-property assessment
  • Property-value questions
  • Current Assessor staff review

County Auditor / BOE

Use this office for the formal value-appeal process.

  • Board of Equalization appeal
  • Disclosure / valuation notice
  • Appeal evidence
  • Hearing process
  • Tax-rate questions
  • Tax-relief administration

County Treasurer

Use this office for money actually due.

  • Property-tax account
  • Tax balance
  • Payment history
  • Tax payment
  • Delinquent taxes
  • Refunds of overpayments

Recorder / Surveyor

Use this office for recorded ownership documents.

  • Deeds
  • Deeds of trust
  • Recorded liens
  • Plats
  • Document images
  • Historical recorded index
Important Utah distinction: the Assessor sets the property’s fair market value. Taxing entities set tax rates. The Treasurer bills and collects the property tax. An appeal to the Board of Equalization challenges market value, not the tax-dollar amount itself.
Search tip: once you locate the correct account, use the parcel/account number for every later step. It is more reliable than repeatedly searching a street address that may be formatted differently across systems.
Property-card decoder

What to verify before trusting a Tooele property result

Record item Why it matters What to verify
Parcel / Account Links the same property across Assessor, Treasurer, GIS and Recorder systems. Save the complete number from the correct parcel.
Property Address Identifies the physical parcel location. Do not confuse it with a tax-notice mailing address.
Owner Shows ownership carried in the current public property data. Use the recorded deed when legal title confirmation is required.
Market Value Assessor’s estimate of fair market value as of January 1. This is the number normally challenged in a valuation appeal.
Taxable Value Value to which tax rates are applied. A primary residence may show only 55% of market value as taxable.
Residential Status Primary residential treatment produces a major Utah exemption. Second homes and other nonqualifying property can be taxed at 100% of market value.
Tax Area Determines which local taxing entities apply to the parcel. Nearby properties can have different tax-area combinations.
Recorded Document Provides legal evidence of transfers and encumbrances. Move to Recorder Document Search for the actual instrument.
Parcel map

Use Tooele County GIS after you identify the parcel

Interactive parcel map

Tooele County links its public property system directly to an ArcGIS interactive map.

The County also maintains current parcel, tax-district, zoning, PLSS and other GIS layers.

Useful GIS checks

  • General parcel location
  • Parcel shape
  • Neighboring parcels
  • Tax-area context
  • Municipality
  • Road access context
  • PLSS section/township/range context
  • Unincorporated versus incorporated location
Boundary warning: County GIS is an excellent research tool but is not a legal boundary survey. If a fence, easement, acreage dispute or building location depends on the exact line, use recorded survey information and a qualified surveyor.
Utah assessment

Tooele property is appraised at 100% of fair market value

Market value

Utah requires county assessors to value locally assessed residential property at 100% of fair market value.

The value reflects what the property could reasonably sell for on the open market under normal conditions.

Assessment date: January 1 of each tax year.

Annual and five-year review

The Assessor updates property values every year.

Utah also requires a detailed review of property characteristics for each property at least once during a five-year reappraisal cycle.

That means a property can change in value even when it did not sell.

Primary residence

The 45% Utah residential exemption changes the taxable value

100% fair market value set by Assessor
−45% primary residential exemption
55% remaining taxable value

A qualifying primary residence receives a 45% reduction in value for property-tax purposes. The tax is therefore calculated on 55% of fair market value.

Hypothetical Tooele primary-home example

Assume the Assessor values a qualifying primary residence at:

$500,000 Market Value

Residential exemption: $500,000 × 45% = $225,000 exempt

Taxable value: $500,000 × 55% = $275,000

The applicable combined tax rate is then multiplied by the taxable value. Do not assume that a $500,000 primary home is taxed on the full $500,000.

What counts as a primary residence?

Can qualify

  • Owner-occupied full-time residence
  • Qualifying tenant-occupied residential property
  • Buildings and improvements associated with the residence
  • Up to one acre of land per qualifying residential unit

Normally does not qualify

  • Vacation home
  • Recreational cabin
  • Time-share
  • Short-term/transitory housing
  • Vacant second home that is not anyone’s primary residence
The exemption is generally limited to one primary residence per household, although qualifying tenant-occupied property can receive residential treatment under Utah law.

If the 45% exemption is missing

  1. Open the Tooele property account and verify the current taxable value.
  2. Compare taxable value with market value.
  3. If the property should qualify as someone’s primary residence, contact the Assessor at 435-843-3103.
  4. Ask whether Tooele County requires a current residential-exemption application or supporting occupancy documentation for that property.
  5. Do not wait until after the tax deadline if the classification appears wrong; exemption and valuation questions are easier to resolve during the current assessment cycle.
Tax formula

Why two Tooele homes with the same value can owe different taxes

Taxable Value × Combined Tax Rate = Property Tax

The total rate depends on which taxing entities serve the parcel. Tooele County GIS currently maintains multiple tax areas covering communities and districts such as Tooele, Grantsville, Wendover, Stockton, Vernon, Lake Point, Stansbury Park and special service/public infrastructure districts.

That is why a single countywide “Tooele property tax rate” is not reliable for every address.

Treasurer lookup

How to search the actual Tooele County property-tax account

Treasurer EagleWeb workflow

  1. Open the official Tooele County Treasurer EagleWeb.
  2. Enter the account number, parcel number, owner or situs/address information accepted by the current search.
  3. If using owner name, the system’s search help recommends entering the last name first.
  4. Open the correct account and verify the property address before reading the balance.
  5. Review the applicable tax year, taxable value, tax amount and payment status.
  6. Follow the payment option only after confirming that you selected the right parcel and tax year.

Useful Treasurer search fields

  • Account number
  • Parcel number
  • Owner name
  • Business name
  • Situs address
  • Subdivision/legal information

Tooele’s Treasurer search is a Tyler Technologies EagleWeb system and requires browser cookies/JavaScript for full functionality.

Assessor search versus Treasurer search: use the Assessor/property side to understand the valuation and property record. Use the Treasurer account for what was billed, what was paid and what remains due.
2026 timeline

Tooele County property-tax dates that matter this year

January 1, 2026
Assessment date. Tooele County values locally assessed real property at fair market value as of this date.
By July 22
Utah counties must issue the annual Notice of Property Valuation and Tax Changes no later than this point in the tax year.
August 31
Tooele County’s 2026 appeal portal asks owners to submit appeal information by this date to expedite the valuation appeal.
September 1
Utah’s general annual filing date for many individual property-tax relief programs.
September 15
Utah State Tax Commission guidance says the regular County Board of Equalization valuation-appeal deadline is generally September 15 each tax year. Because Tooele’s current portal contains a stale prior-year line, verify the final Tooele deadline if filing late in the window.
November 30
Property taxes must be paid by this date to avoid delinquency under the normal Utah property-tax calendar.
December 1
Taxes unpaid after the November 30 deadline become delinquent under the normal Utah schedule.
August 13, 2026 snapshot: the valuation-appeal period is the key live deadline right now. The annual property-tax payment deadline is still months away, so a homeowner who believes the 2026 market value is wrong should focus on the BOE process now rather than waiting for the November tax payment date.

What happens if Tooele property tax is not paid by November 30?

Initial delinquency penalty

Utah’s current property-tax guidance states that taxes unpaid by November 30 become delinquent.

The standard penalty is the greater of:

  • 2.5% of the delinquent tax, or
  • $10 per parcel

January reduction opportunity

If all delinquent taxes and the reduced penalty are paid on or before January 31 of the next year, Utah reduces the penalty to the greater of:

  • 1%, or
  • $10

Interest can apply after the statutory delinquency process continues.

Live 2026 appeal

Tooele County property valuation appeals are open now

What the appeal can challenge

Tooele’s Board of Equalization portal states that 2026 appeals are accepted regarding the market value of the property only.

The value under review is the market value as of:

January 1, 2026

You cannot use the valuation appeal merely to challenge the tax-dollar amount.

Current submission timing

Tooele County asks owners to submit by:

August 31, 2026

to expedite the appeal.

Utah’s ordinary statewide BOE deadline is generally September 15. Because Tooele’s live portal contains a stale 2025 deadline line, contact the Auditor at 435-843-3312 if you are filing after August 31.

Tooele County tells 2026 appellants to prepare these items

  • Current name, address and phone number
  • Copy of the disclosure / valuation notice
  • Complete parcel number
  • Your opinion of the property’s January 1, 2026 market value
  • Evidence explaining how you reached that value

Four evidence routes specifically identified by Tooele’s BOE portal

1. Comparable sales

Tooele asks for at least three comparable properties similar to the home that sold during 2025.

Focus on meaningful similarities such as location, lot, size, age, condition and use.

2. Recent purchase

If the property was purchased during 2025, the portal says to submit the closing and/or settlement statement.

Short sales, bank-owned and foreclosure sales may need stronger market support.

3. Professional appraisal

Tooele accepts an appraisal with an effective valuation date within 2025 as one evidence route for the 2026 BOE process.

4. Factual property-record error

A written explanation of a factual error can support an appeal.

The BOE portal says the property card may be reviewed at the Assessor’s Office during regular business hours.

Appeal strategy: first identify the exact reason you believe the January 1 value is wrong. An appeal that combines a clear requested value with parcel-specific evidence is much stronger than saying only that the tax increase is too large.

After the Tooele County Board of Equalization decision

  1. The County Board of Equalization reviews the appeal and issues a written decision.
  2. If the owner disagrees with the County decision, Utah allows an appeal to the State Tax Commission.
  3. The State appeal must generally be filed with the County Auditor within 30 days of the County BOE decision date.
  4. The County forwards the appeal record to the Utah State Tax Commission Appeals Unit.
Tax relief

Tooele owners may qualify for more than the 45% residential exemption

Circuit Breaker / Homeowner Credit

Utah provides income-based property-tax relief for qualifying homeowners under state programs administered locally.

Eligibility depends on age/status, household income and current program rules.

Veteran with a Disability

Qualifying veterans with service-connected disability and certain qualifying surviving family members may be eligible for an exemption.

Blind / Indigent Relief

Utah also provides blind-person exemptions and certain abatement/deferral programs for qualifying low-income or hardship cases.

September 1 matters: Utah’s general guidance says applications for many property-tax relief programs should be filed with the appropriate county by September 1. Program-specific rules can differ, so confirm the 2026 Tooele filing requirements before submitting.
Agricultural land

Tooele County Greenbelt can matter for qualifying farmland

What Greenbelt changes

Utah’s Farmland Assessment Act, commonly called Greenbelt, can allow qualifying agricultural land to be assessed based on agricultural productive value rather than ordinary market value.

It is not an automatic reduction merely because a parcel is rural or large.

Tooele Assessor contact

The current Assessor staff list identifies Tonya Short for Greenbelt/appraisal questions.

Phone: 435-843-3108

Contact the Assessor before buying, splitting, changing use or removing agricultural land from Greenbelt because qualification and rollback consequences can be significant.

Recorded land records

Use Recorder EagleWeb for Tooele deeds, liens and document images

Document coverage

Tooele County’s electronic index connecting recorded documents to parcel numbers begins:

January 1, 1995

Information and document images before that date may not be available online and can require an in-office search.

How to search

  1. Open the same official EagleWeb property/Recorder system.
  2. Choose the Public Web Limited Viewer for free indexed searching.
  3. Select Document Search.
  4. Search the available recorded-index fields.
  5. Open the matching index record.
  6. Purchase an image/subscription only if the actual scanned document is needed.

Recorder EagleWeb image subscription options

Access option Current published price Best for
Public Limited Viewer Free Searching indexed property/document information.
1-day image subscription $5 Short-term deed/document research.
1-month image subscription $75 Higher-volume temporary research.
12-month image subscription $750 Professional/high-volume access.

Tooele EagleWeb also allows registered users to purchase individual full-resolution PDF document images. Verify current charges before checkout.

Do not use the old Tooele GeoData site for current ownership

Tooele County’s older GeoData public-record website remains accessible, but the site itself warns that it is not being updated and is only abstracted through May 29, 2017.

For current parcel, owner or recorded-document research, use the current County EagleWeb system instead.

Best order for researching a Tooele County property

  1. EagleWeb Account Search: identify the correct property and save the parcel/account number.
  2. Assessor: verify January 1 market value and property characteristics.
  3. Residential status: confirm whether the 45% primary residential exemption is reflected.
  4. GIS: confirm general parcel location, tax area and surrounding parcels.
  5. 2026 valuation notice: compare the Assessor value with your own January 1 market evidence.
  6. Board of Equalization: file during the current appeal period if the 2026 market value is unsupported.
  7. Treasurer: review the actual tax account, billing and payment history.
  8. Recorder: research the deed, deed of trust, lien or other legal instrument.
  9. Professional due diligence: use title, survey, appraisal or legal help where a transaction depends on rights that cannot be established from an assessment database alone.
Troubleshooting

Tooele property-search problems and the fastest fix

Problem Likely reason What to do
Can’t find current owner You may be using the obsolete GeoData site. Use the current EagleWeb Public Limited Viewer.
EagleWeb asks about documents Property and Recorder searches share the same platform. Choose Account Search for the property; Document Search for deeds.
Taxable value is far below market value A qualifying primary residence receives a 45% exemption. Check whether taxable value is approximately 55% of market value before assuming there is an error.
Taxable value equals full market value Property may not have qualifying primary residential status. Contact the Assessor if the residence should qualify.
Market value looks too high Assessment reflects January 1, 2026 market value. Use the current BOE process and provide 2025 market evidence/comparables as requested by Tooele.
Tax bill increased more than expected Value, taxable status and tax-area rates can all affect the bill. Separate Assessor value from Treasurer tax and taxing-entity rates.
Owner changed recently Recorded document and assessment updates may occur on different schedules. Verify the recorded deed in Recorder EagleWeb and then contact the Assessor if the account needs review.
Old deed is missing online Electronic document-to-parcel indexing begins January 1, 1995. Contact the Recorder/Surveyor for older archive research.
Need exact boundary GIS parcel lines are not a legal survey. Use recorded surveys and a licensed surveyor.

Tooele County Assessor Property Search FAQs

1. How do I search Tooele County property records online?
Open Tooele County EagleWeb and use the Public Web Limited Viewer. Choose Account Search when you want property information rather than recorded-document images. Locate the parcel, verify the address and save the parcel/account number for GIS and tax research.
2. Who is the Tooele County Assessor in 2026?
Joy Peters is the Tooele County Assessor. The Assessor’s Office is located at 47 South Main Street in Tooele. The general Assessor phone number is 435-843-3103.
3. How is Tooele County property valued?
Utah requires the County Assessor to determine fair market value as of January 1 each tax year. Values are updated annually, and Utah also requires a detailed review of property characteristics at least once during a five-year cycle.
4. Why is my Tooele taxable value only 55% of market value?
A qualifying primary residence receives Utah’s 45% residential property exemption. That leaves 55% of fair market value as taxable value. Vacation homes and other nonqualifying residential property can be taxable at 100% of market value.
5. Can I appeal my Tooele County property value in 2026?
Yes. Tooele County’s Board of Equalization portal is currently accepting appeals of 2026 market value. The County asks owners to submit by August 31, 2026 to expedite review. Utah’s general County Board of Equalization deadline is September 15 each tax year, but Tooele’s portal currently contains a stale prior-year deadline line, so confirm with the Auditor if filing after August 31.
6. What evidence does Tooele County want for a 2026 value appeal?
The County’s current appeal portal asks for the disclosure notice, parcel number, the owner’s opinion of January 1, 2026 market value and supporting evidence. It identifies comparable 2025 sales, a 2025 purchase closing statement, a qualifying appraisal, or a written factual property-record error as evidence routes.
7. When are Tooele County property taxes due in 2026?
Under Utah’s normal property-tax calendar, taxes must be paid by November 30 to avoid delinquency. Always verify the current Tooele Treasurer tax account and the actual tax notice before making a payment.
8. Who collects Tooele County property taxes?
The Tooele County Treasurer bills and collects real property taxes. Michael J. Jensen is the current Treasurer. The Treasurer’s Office is at 47 South Main Street, Room 218, Tooele, Utah 84074, and can be reached at 435-843-3190.
9. Where can I search Tooele County deeds and liens?
Use Tooele County Recorder EagleWeb and choose Document Search. The electronic index connecting documents to parcel numbers begins January 1, 1995. Older information may require an in-office search with the Recorder/Surveyor.
10. What should I do if the Tooele property record is wrong?
Contact the Assessor for market value, property characteristics or residential-exemption issues; the Auditor and Board of Equalization for a formal valuation appeal; the Treasurer for tax-bill or payment problems; and the Recorder/Surveyor for deed, lien or recorded-document issues.

Bottom line for a Tooele County property lookup

Start with the current Tooele County EagleWeb Account Search, identify the correct parcel, and save the parcel/account number. Review the Assessor’s market value and confirm whether the 45% primary residential exemption is correctly reflected before attempting to estimate taxes.

Then move to the Treasurer EagleWeb for the actual tax account and payment status, use GIS for parcel context, and use the Recorder for deeds and liens. In August 2026, owners who disagree with the January 1 value should give special attention to the open Board of Equalization appeal window instead of waiting until the November tax-payment deadline.

Editorial verification: August 13, 2026.

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.
