The following tabulation excellent source of information for students of Navajo History, some of the material dates Page Nine Approximately 48. 3 of the Municipal ISTCQ 34.70 17.60 1.50 Special Dist. Total 35 cities, declined in 17 cities, and remained un- changed in 15 cities during 1970. The average rise in the cities reporting an increase was 1. 82 mills, with the average reduction in cities with declines being 1. 35 mills. Foundation analysis empha- -! size that in addition to mill levy changes, some taxpay-- I ers also may experience higher taxes this year because of up- ward adjustments in their property assessments. Pre- -; liminary figures indicate that total valuations in Utah this year rose by $108 million, or 6. Most of tine increase is the result of higher assessments on mining property and new properties added to the taxrolls. Part of the rise, however, is a reflection of higher valuations placed on existing properties under the property revaluation program. The report points out that Park City again retained the debious honor of having highest overall property tax in the state with a total levy of 110.45 mills (110.45 per (assessed valuation). It was followed closely by Ogden with an overall levy of 107.52 mills. Actually, a small part of Ogden which wras annexed to the city several years ago carries a total levy of 117.53 mills, highest in the State. Blanding on the other hand, has the lowest levy among the major cities survey with an overall levy of 70. 30 mills. Several smaller communities and unincorporated areas, however, have lower property tax rates this year. The absolute lowest property tax found in Utah this year is 52. 80 mills, which applied in an uncorpor-ate- d area of San Juan County. j j ; !
