Commission denies prior‑year disabled‑veteran tax relief request for 2020–2023
Summary
Weber County commissioners denied a request to abate property taxes for 2020–2023 from a disabled veteran after staff said the claimant failed to return required annual verification; the county granted relief for 2024–2025 only.
The Weber County Commission on April 22 followed the recommendation of its tax review committee and denied a request for prior‑year disabled‑veteran tax relief for 2020–2023 from Brandon C. Bobko.
Stephanie Seabert of the Clerk/Auditor’s office explained that Mr. Bobko applied for prior‑year relief on Feb. 26, 2025, and that the office approved him for tax relief for 2024 and 2025 after he submitted current paperwork. Seabert said county procedure requires annual contact and return verification forms to confirm continued eligibility and property ownership; Mr. Bobko did not return the required form for 2020, so relief was not applied for the years 2020–2023. The county’s tax review committee heard the case March 12 and recommended denial of retroactive relief for 2020–2023.
A commissioner commended the Clerk/Auditor’s office for following state code and the tax commission’s standards for administering exemptions. The commission voted to follow the tax review committee’s recommendation and denied the request for years 2020–2023; the motion passed on a voice vote.
