Show County property assessed at 20 of valuation In view of the pendency of legal proceedings In the courts wherein the power and authority author-ity of the Utah County Board of Equalization is in question, and the fact that property valuation val-uation notices for the tax year 1968 have now been mailed, mail-ed, the County Commissioners consider it desirable for the information in-formation of Utah County taxpayers tax-payers to issue the following statement: The County Commissioners will convene as a Board of Equalization commencing on May 31, 1968, and continue meetings through June 19, 1968, as required by Chapter 7, Title 59, of the Utah Code, and will carry out its responsibilities respon-sibilities imposed by the Constitution Con-stitution and statutes of the State. The schedule for aggrieved taxpayers to appear before the Board is set forth on the valuation valu-ation notices which have been mailed to taxpayers throughout through-out the county. We are informed by Harrison Conover, County Assessor, that his office has re-examined many properties throughout the County, and assessed valuations for the year 1968 were made by his office within the framework frame-work of the law based upon 20 of market value. It will be the function and purpose of the County Commissioners Com-missioners sitting as a Board of Equalization to determine if assessment inequality now exists ex-ists within Utah County as to any taxpayer, class of property, geographic area, etc., and, if so, to take such action as it deems appropriate and within its statutory and constitutional powers. In so doing, the Board will endeavor to follow the requirement re-quirement that property be assessed as-sessed at 20 of its fair market mar-ket value. |
