The Utah County Commission on Oct. 30 denied an appeal by Ryan LLC on behalf of Bimbo Bakeries challenging a personal property valuation, after county staff said the appellant failed to provide sufficient information.

County staff told commissioners they had tried to contact the appellant, including emails and phone calls from assessor-division staff member Paulette Stetzer, but had received no usable clarification. A staff presenter said, “They haven't really provided enough evidence for us to tell what they want, and we need to get this done,” and recommended the commission deny the appeal and allow the appellant to pursue relief at the state level if they wish.

Commissioner Beltran moved to deny the appeal; Commissioner Gardner seconded the motion. The commission recorded the motion as denied.

The denial means the county's assessed personal property valuation stands for now. County staff advised the appellant may pursue the matter with the state review processes; no additional relief or remand was announced at the meeting.

The commission did not provide a full roll-call vote in the transcript beyond the motion and second and the chair's announcement that the appeal was denied. The record shows staff recommended denial based on insufficient documentation and potential procedural time limits.
