This was the conclusion reached by Utah Foundation, the private tax research re-search organization, in its analysis of the Utah Supreme Court decision in the Amax case (Amax Magnesium Corporation v. Utah State Tax Commission) that was decided de-cided on July 18, 1990. Utah law has provided a 20 exemption ex-emption on locally-assessed real property in recognition of certain intangible in-tangible costs. This 20 exemption is not extended to state-assessed property and to personal property. The Supreme Court in the Amax case ruled that Utah cannot arbitrarily arbitrar-ily discriminate against one class of property simply because it is assessed as-sessed by the state rather than by the county. According to the Foundation analysis, anal-ysis, if it is determined that all state-assessed state-assessed property must receive this 20 exemption, it would cut property prop-erty assessments in Utah by $2.4 billion and reduce property tax revenue rev-enue by $31.5 million per year. Furthermore, if the exemption is extended ex-tended to personal property (motor vehicles, machinery, etc.), it could add another $23.5 million to the potential po-tential tax loss. Thus, the decision could impact the property tax by as much as $55 million per year. Foundation analysts point out that regardless of which option is adopted adopt-ed by the legislature, the equalization equaliza-tion of assessments in Utah will result re-sult in a shifting of tax burdens 'VcrnaC'Iheatcr Starts Friday Opens 7:30 Starts 8:00 FORCE W ARE BACK!

Property taxes on state-assessed property and personal property are likely to decrease, while taxes on locally-assessed property are likely to increase.

For example, even though the homeowner exemption exemp-tion could be raised enough o shield residential property as a group, this still would not prevent taxes on some properties from going up while taxes on other properties are coming down.
