This bill was prepared by the Treasurer's office as a sample only. Summit County Treasurer Glen Thompson explains the components of this year's bills by Kirsta H. Bleyle OF THE RECORD STAFF Mark those calendars! This year's tax bills should be reaching Summit County property owners after the first of November. The amount shown on each bill, however, should not be surprising sur-prising because the tax disclosure notices mailed last summer demonstrated "within a few dollars" dol-lars" how much property owners owe Summit County, according .to county treasurer Glen Thompson, ... , ..,.,,.,. Thompson, whose department is responsible for the arduous task of mailing thousands of bills each fall, told The Park Record that separate tax bills are mailed to the unincorporated and incorporated incor-porated areas of the county. Both bills, he noted, include the .001630 'county general' property tax, which pays for services residents resi-dents receive in both the county and the incorporated cities such as landfill, garbage collection, and animal control. The .000582 'county municipal' munici-pal' tax is charged only to residents resi-dents in the unincorporated areas of the county and pays for county road maintenance, the sheriff's patrol, and a percentage of other services, such as planning and building permit functions. While the county municipal tax is not included in the incorporated incorpo-rated tax bills, residents in Summit County's cities can expect to pay a municipal tax, which is indicated on the above tax notice example. This tax, Thompson noted, is determined by the individual municipal area. Funding for the computer automation used for' assessing! and collecting taxes by the coun-' ty assessor's and treasurer's offices is reflected in the 'local assess and collect,' and 'multi-county 'multi-county A&S' reflected on both municipal and unincorporated tax bills. Thompson added, however, that the 'multi county' assess and collect tax rate is set by the state legislature, and helps Utah's poorer counties pay meet their budgetary needs for the assessing and collecting of taxes. The Service Area 6 .000622 tax is charged to unincorporated residents, Thompson said, and funds subdivision needs such as specialized equipment for snow removal and maintenance of sub division roads in unincorporated areas. This year's Snyderville Basin Recreation District tax levy of .001173, Thompson pointed out, will be used to help repay a bond voted on, and approved, by Snyderville Basin residents two years ago. The tax collected by the recreation district will also be used for the cost of maintenance and operation of the Sndyerville Basin's recreation components. Another tax rate determined the state legislature, Thompson said is the .001950 tax charged for the State School Fund. This money, howe,y(e,r, is. used within the Park City School District a fact some residents do not fully understand, he noted. The tax rate specific to the area school district is determined by that district, dis-trict, Thompson added. Thompson further noted that, although many residents do not realize the cost of running local government until their tax bill is received, it is the during the budget bud-get process that residents should speak up if they have any objections objec-tions to proposed expenditures or increasing the tax rate. Summit County's budget and proposed spending for 1998 will be under consideration during the month of November, and public meetings will be noticed in The Park Record. SOB committee is spearheading a voluntary county planning bill Rep. David Ure (R-Kamas) warns against "immersion of city and county rights" by Kirsta H. Bleyle OF THE RECORD STAFF In recent years, regional planning has become a concept applied only outside the state of Utah. For municipalities with no bankroll for pricey legal defense, however, regional planning could be the blanket of legal security needed when deciding whether adult businesses busi-nesses will be allowed within their city limits, according to Summit County's sexually-oriented business (SOB) committee. Traditionally, efforts to adopt regional planning, which usually apply to planning across county lines, have failed at the Utah State Legislature. Summit County's SOB committee, however, wants to see a voluntary form of regional planning, or county-wide planning, make it through the 1998 legislative session.
