Summary
The Utah Division of Wildlife presented Weber County with a $9,063.41 payment-in-lieu-of-taxes check, citing hunting and fishing license revenues and noting the division manages multiple wildlife management areas in the county.
Blair Stringham, Northern Region Supervisor for the Utah Division of Wildlife, presented a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes check to Weber County commissioners for $9,063.41 during the board's weekly meeting.
"The amount this year is $9,063.41," Stringham said, explaining the payment reflects taxes the division does not pay on state-managed lands and is funded largely by hunting and fishing license dollars. He described state-managed properties in the county, including Ogden Bay and Harold Crane waterfowl management areas and land in Ogden Valley, and invited county staff to reach out on wildlife issues.
The presentation was brief and met with appreciation from the commission. Chair Gage Froer thanked the division and said the county benefits from state-managed natural habitat available to hunters and anglers. The check was left with county staff for processing.
