Payson the average property tax on such a home amounted to $526.85, or about 0.71 of current value. This tax load, however, is likely to increase in 1984 as a result of a State Supreme Court decision rendered last week. These were some of the farts disclosed in an analysis of comparative residential tax' burdens prepared by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization. The foundation report lists the average property tax in 1983 on a $74,000 home in 137 different the communities throughout state. This tax ranged all the way from a low ' of $333 (0.45) in the unincorporated area of Summit County to a high of $738 in Sandy City. Foundation analysts explain that the property tax imposed on a specific property is determined by two main factors: (1) the value at which the property is assessed for tax purposes, and (2) the total tax mill rate applied against the assessed value by the various levels of local government. Variations in the property tax burden are the result of differences in assessment levels among the counties as well as differences in the milll rates imposed. Several years ago, the Utah Legislature "froze local assess: ments at 1978 levels. The sTate Tax Commission determined the 1978 values were equal to about 67.56 of 1983 values. Thus, a home appraised for $74,000 in 1983 would have a 1978 adjusted value of approximately $50,000 for tax purposes. (1.00) Utah Soil Conservation Commission announces election results Steven T. Gillmor, Commissioner of the Utah State Department of Agriculture and Chairman of the Utah Soil Conservation Commission, has announced the results of the Nebo Soil Conservation District (SCD) elections held in January. Newly elected supervisors of the Nebo SCD are Bernell Anderson of Spanish Fork, Sherman Bearn son of Spanish Fork, and Richard L. Saunders of Spring Lake. These three men were elected r by local land users to serve a team of office each as district supervisors.

Contact one of the above board members to find out the exact time and meeting place. public-sp- irited A State Supreme Court decision filed on March 13, 1984, declared that the practice of freezing the value of some properties at a given point in time, and not others, results in assessments and is unconstitu-- , tional. Because of this decision, local assessments will have to be raised by as much as 48 to bring them in line with state assessments. The foundation notes that some of this increase in local assessments could be offset by reduced mill levies. If no change were made in local mill rates, the average tax on a $74,000 home in Utah could rise from $558 in 1983 to $826 in 1984. Similar increases would occur on all other property. The issue of requiring local units to reduce mill rates to offset the increase in assessments probably will be brought before the special session of the Utah Legislature scheduled for March 26th. Because of the ratification of Proposition I by the Utah voters in 1982 and legislation approved by the 1982 and 1983 legislatures, residential property in Utah is assessed at 15 while other proUntil perty is assessed at Court last weeks Supreme decision, these assessment rates d on property applied to the current fair market value as rolled back to a January 1, , non-unifor- m locally-assesse- d 20. locally-assesse- 1978, level. In 1983 the legal 15 assessment on a home appraised at $74,000 would apply to the rolled-bac- k 1978 value of $50,000, resulting in an assessment of $7,500, of 10.14 of current value. Under the Supreme Court decision, the assessment on the same $74,000 home would apply to the current value and would result in an assessment of $11,100, or 15 of current market value.
