Some major mill rate reductions were experienced in ten counties which were revalued this year. In several instances, the declines amounted to 20 mills or more. Utah law provides that taxing units must adjust their local levies downward in any year that higher assessments result from the property revaluation program. Foundation analysts emphasize that in such instances mill rate reductions do not necessarily mean a decline in the tax burden. In many cases, the correction of underassessments for some taxpayers un- der the revaluation program more than offsets the mill levy reductions. The report notes that there has been a decided leveling off in Utah property tax mill rates during recent years. For example, the average overall mill rate in the 65 cities under review has risen less than one percent since 1965. The 1972 average levy is below 1971 and 1970 levels. This compares with increases of 15.3 percent be. CHAIR Jeana Whimpey enjoys the comfort of her bean chair, a project she made in this summer.
