The primary purpose of Utah's continuing revaluation program is to equalize assessments among Individual properties and among property classes by Initially reappraising all locally assessed real property at about 20 of fair market value.

You'll see a vital form of transportation at work for you delivering all types o goods for ad types ot needs It s a big order to tili We re 19.72. Foundation analysts note, however, that the results of revaluation and equalization soon deteriorate. For example, the average assessment of the three counties (Millard, Uintah, and Washington) which had been revalued In 1973 had declined to 16.89 by 1974. Similarly, the average ratio In the ten counties which had been revalued In 1972 had dropped to 14.79 To by 1974. correct the despa Titles that occur between revaluation periods and to provide for conamong tinued equalization counties, the Utah State Tax Is considering Commission making annual assessment adjustments In those years when a physical revaluation Is not made. Such a program would require computerization of all tax records which would proceed at the rate of 20 per year, thus taking about five years before the program would become completely operational. Legislation enacted by the 1969 Utah Legislature called for reappraising all locally assessed real property every a on five years rotation basis. The Foundation report observes that reappraisals had been completed in 17 of Utah's 29 counties by 1974. Four more counties (Cache, Davis, Grand, and Weber) were completed for the 1975 tax year. The report estimates that it probably will be 1978 before all of the remaining nine counties are completed. Thus, It will take about eight to complete jears Instead of five the first cycle of the reappraisal program.
