Show W 10 THE BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Thursday, April 2, 1 1 Passes Away Property Assessments to Increase on Older Houses After Illness Many property owners In the seven Wasatch front counties of Salt Lake, Box Elder, Cache, Weber, Davis, Tooele, and Utah will receive an upward adjust ment In their 1964 property assessments according to a study just released by Utah Foundation, the nonprofit tax research organization. The largest assessment boosts will occur In Salt Lake county . principally on older residences the report contln ues. Valuations on many new homes In Salt Lake county will be raised about 1 0 per cent whUe older re sldences may be Increased 30 percent or more. THE on FOUNDATION STUDY observed that these 1964 as. sessment equalization changes are designed (1) to raise the general assessment level of buildings and structures as part of a program seeking to equal, lze assessment rates for the various classes of property, (2) to eliminate Inequities that exist between assessments on older and newer properties, and (3) to provide a greater degree of assessment uniform lty among properties of the same class according to type and use. Two years ago the State Tax ordered blanket Commission assessment Increases ranging from 2 percent to 17 percent on buildings, structures, and other Improvements In certain sections of Salt Lake City, Og den, Provo, and parts of Salt Lake county after sales ratio studies revealed that average assessment ratios In these areas were generally low. earlier assessment These boosts will be cancelled In Salt Lake county (Including Salt Lake City) this year as the latest are equalization adjustments made.

The other 22 counties will not be affected by the changes. Foundation analysts observe that some commercial and In. dustrlal property assessments In Salt Lake county also will be raised, but percentage-wls- e the ' Increase will not be as great as that for residential property. Moreover, substan tlal economic and functional obsolescence allowances are being made on some commer clal and Industrial properties now being reappraised In Salt Lake, Weber, and Utah coun. ties. IN MANY CASES, THESE ob. solescence allowances will ex. ceed the Increases provided by the equalization adjustments on such properties. Studies have consistently pointed out the fact that commercial and Industrial properties In Utah have been assessed at a higher percentage of market value than has rest dentlal property.

The Foundation report notes that Utah generally as. sesses Its property at a much lower percentage of market value than most other states.
