Utah County adopts 2021 tax-rate levies, commissioners discuss separating health levy in future
Summary
The commission adopted the county's 2021 tax-rate levies (general purpose and service-area levies) with a general-purpose rate of 0.000724; commissioners discussed future transparency measures such as a separate health department levy.
The Utah County Commission voted 3-0 to adopt the county's 2021 tax-rate levies after reviewing the general-purpose rate and a set of service-area rates.
Commissioners and staff discussed the general-purpose rate of 0.000724 and adjustments related to new growth. A commissioner suggested examining a separate health-department levy in the future to improve transparency; commissioners agreed that a longer review runway would help implement such changes.
Staff walked the commission through the line-item rates, including local assessing and collection and multiple service-area levies for law enforcement, fire protection, planning and other services. After the commission reviewed the numbers on the record, a motion was made to adopt the resolution establishing the 2021 tax-rate levies with the reviewed attachment and the commission voted in favor.
Next steps: adopted rates will be applied per county procedure and staff will continue modeling projections to monitor ten-year cash-flow implications under the adopted rate.
