The Utah Foundation reported that property taxes went up large 16cities in 1979, and were unchanged in one. The 62 cities are the most populous in counties where property values were not reappraised last year. Foundation analysts said the prime reasonfor the tax decline in the majority of towns was a 4 mill reduction in thebasic school levy mandated by the Utah Legislature.

The average mill levy charged to residentsof the 62 large cities was 74.70 mills last year, a 1.68 mill reduction from 1978, the organization reported. A 74.70 mill levy translates to $74.70 in property taxes for each $1,000 in property value.
