Board of Equalization hears late appeals, approves abatements and corrections totaling roughly $989,213
Summary
During a recessed Board of Equalization, the auditor presented recommended appeal approvals totaling $649,839, late abatements totaling $27,384.31, and assessor corrections totaling $312, - (transcript lists assessor corrections totaling $912,009); commissioners approved the property tax register and heard numerous late-appeal petitions, some approved and some deferred.
The Davis County Commission recessed Dec. 3 to perform Board of Equalization duties and reviewed the property tax register and late appeal petitions.
Auditor Curtis Koch summarized the property tax register: recommended appeal approvals totaling $649,839; a late abatement register recommending approvals totaling $27,384.31; and assessor or board corrections totaling $912,009. Commissioners approved the property tax register as presented.
During a focused review of late appeals, Koch outlined statutory grounds for accepting late appeals — including medical emergencies, failure to receive mailed notice, factual errors and other extraordinary circumstances — and then read individual petitioners' cases. Commissioners considered petitions from property owners and entities (examples read into the record included Watkins, Fifth South LLC, Reid Anderson, the Tyners, Arrington, DeVries and others). Some petitions were approved for reasons such as factual error or failure of notification; others were deferred for further verification and scheduled for consideration at the next meeting.
The board returned the docket to the full commission afterward and approved reconvening motions and minutes for the Nov. 19 work session.
Next steps: commissioners will revisit deferred late appeals at subsequent meetings; staff will verify mailing addresses and other supporting documentation where requested.
