The assessor is required to list and value all property subject to ad valorem taxation on an assessment roll each year. Ad valorem means that property is taxed according to value. In Utah, all property, except primary residential, is valued and taxed at 100 of its fair market value, The assessors office values approximately 26,000 parcels of property. The assessor does not make the tax laws which affect property owners. The Constitution of our state, as adopted by the voters, provides the basic framework for taxation. Tax laws are made by the Legislature and the rules and regulations for assessment are set by the Utah Tax Commission. Tax dollars are levied by taxing entities, such as the school board, cities, and counties, and they are collected by the Treasurer. The assessors primary responsibility is to find the fair market value of your property so that you pay only your share of the tax. The amount of tax you pay is determined by a tax rate applied to your propertys taxable value. Hie tax rate is the basis for the budget needed or demanded by the voters to provide for services such as schools, roads, snow removal, law enforcement, libraries, TV, weed control and so on. Tax rates 4 are simply the rates which will pro-' vide funds to pay for those services. To arrive at fair market value ' for your property, the assessor must know what willing sellers and willing buyers are doing in the marketplace. He must also keep current on cost of construction in the area and be aware of any changes in zoning, financing, and economic conditions which may affect property values. Fair market value is defined aa:. . .the amount at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy nor sell with both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts . . . The assessor uses the three nationally recognized appraisal approaches to value: cost, income, and market Values obtained through these approaches is correlated into a final value by an appraiser in the Assessor's Office. When additional taxes are voted by the people, an individuals property tax bill will increase. Also, when market value increases, so does the appraised value. For instance, if RC&D ing your notice you have any questions or concerns about your property value, please call my office at 0 7 ext 110 or ext 110. We will be happy to meet with you regarding your property and ask that you show evidence that the valuation is too high. This can be a recent appraisal or purchase ofa property, or it may be that we are unaware of certain circumstances regarding your property. Myself or my staff will be glad to review this with you and if, after discussing the matter, a difference of opinion still exists, you may appeal your assessment to the County Board of Equalization. The Board will be held during the month of August and we can then help you set a time to meet with them.

Basically, as a federal employee working for USDA, Natural Resource Conservation Service, I am on loan to the communities to assist with projects. RC&D is a unique program that helps people care for and protect their natural resources in a way that will improve the area's economy, environment, and living standards. To carry out this concept, diverse groups of local volunteers are brought together in a unique partnership to find solutions to their problems. Local people are best able to determine needs and create solutions for their community. The strength of RC&D is in the commitment of people to solve their own problems. The RC&D commitment emphasizes one or morn of the following ar- SURROUNDED ATHLETE-- A 3 on 3 basketball contestant searches for some room to the basket.
