This was the conclusion reached by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in their latest study of the property tax burden on individuals and business. The Foundation report points out that a recent nationwide survey by the U.S. Commission on Advisory Intergovernmental Relations reveals that Utah's property tax burden on residential property is 39 below the U.S. average under the by the income test" and 26 national average by the value test. The income test relates property tax payments on residential property to the income of the persons occupying such dwellings. The value test" compares property taxes on residential property with the market value of such property. An earlier nationwide study by the on Commission Advisory Intergovernmental relations pointed out that while the relative Utah property tax effort in 1966-6was 25 below the U.S. average for nonfarm residential property and 28 below for farm property, it was 24 above the national average for commercial and industrial property. Foundation analysts attribute this disparity between residential and business property taxes to the lack of uniformity in assessment ratios among the various classes of property in Utah. Latest Tax Commission sales-rati- o the among various classes of property in Utah.-TaCommission sales-rati- o studies indicate, for example, that residential property throughout the state is assessed at about 15.8 of market value with farm property being assessed at 10.4 of selling price. Utility and railroad properties, which are assessed by the State, are valued at about 26 of recognized value. Furthermore, mining property is assessed on the basis of net proceeds which automatically reflects higher metal prices and increased production. Contrary to popular belief, the property tax in Utah is not primarily a tax on homeowners. The Foundation study shows that business taxes in Utah of all property tax colcomprise 54 lections, compared with 42 for the U.S. as a whole. Nonbusiness taxes, on the other hand, make up about 41 of total property tax collections in Utah as opFarm posed to the U.S. average of taxes are equal to 5 of total property taxes in Utah and 6 in the nation.
