Attention Preschool Registration Registration will take place during the mornings of August 26th at the preschool centers located at Delta High School and Millard High School Whether you hase been contacted or not, please bring sour child at that time if you are school interested in preschool for the 1982-8sear. Attention: Sheep Owners The report emphasizes that property taxes charged are the result of two factors: (1) the valuation or assessment placed on the property for tax purposes, and (2) the combined mill levies imposed by the various local units that utilize the property tai. Except for Uintah County and a few selected adjustments made in other counties, no major valuation changes were made this year. Thus, for the most part, the levy boosts imposed in communities across the state reflect increased tax burdens for taxpayers. An examination of the total tax rates imposed in 70 major Utah cities reveals that the overaD rate rose in 66 cities, declined in only three cities, and remained unchanged in one city this year. The average total levy in these 70 cities increased by 3.63 mills from 69.92 rnOls ($69.92 per $1,000 assessed valuation) in 1981 to 73.55 mills in 1982. mill Throughout the state, levies were raised in 14 counties, reduced in 10 counties, and remained unchanged in five counties. Of the 224 cities and towns located in these 29 Utah counties, 119 increased their levies, 34 reduced their levies, and 71 made no change. Of the 40 Utah school districts, 31 increased their levies, three lowered their levies, and six made no change. Despite the levy increases this year, average property tax rates in Utah generally have declined over the past decade. For example, the average levy in the 70 cities surveyed by Utah Foundation declined from 88.14 mills in 1970 to 77.45 mills in 1975, to 72.18 mills in 1980, to 69.92 mills in 1981, before turning up to 73.55 mills in 1982. Foundation analysts point out, however, that in most instances the reduction in the average tax rate was more that offset by assessment increases resulting from the property revaluation program and the assessment adjustments ordered last year. These assessment increases were a partial recognition of the inflation that has occured in real estate values during the period. Thus, while total property tax bills generally have risen, they are in most cases a smaller percentage of market value today than they were in 1970.
