Wallsburg council adopts small FY2026 property-tax forecast cut to avoid increasing rate
Summary
After a public hearing, the Wallsburg Town Council amended its FY2026 property-tax revenue forecast from $69,389 to $65,480 to align with Wasatch County figures and avoid raising the town property tax rate; the change passed by voice vote.
The Wallsburg Town Council on Aug. 7 adopted a narrow amendment to its fiscal year 2026 revenue assumptions after a short public hearing.
An unidentified council member read a staff recommendation that the forecasted municipal property-tax revenue be reduced “from $69,389 to $65,480 dollars” to align the town’s estimate with Wasatch County data and avoid increasing the town’s property-tax rate. The recommendation said Wasatch County released its forecast after the town’s earlier budget adoption and that delinquent property-tax collections in the prior year contributed to the earlier discrepancy.
The council held a brief public hearing on the change, explained how the public notice was posted under Utah State Code section 63G-30-1002 (online, town website, Town Hall and post office) and received no public comments. A motion to adopt the amendment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The amendment is bookkeeping in scope: the council characterized it as an update to the town’s revenue forecast rather than a policy change, intended solely to align the budget with county data and to avoid an increase in the town’s property-tax rate.
The next procedural step is to incorporate the adjusted forecast into the town’s FY2026 budget documents and to publish the finalized budget accounting. Council members indicated the town clerk will update records and that a full accounting of budget line items (including check-register corrections previously noted) will be returned for review at the next meeting.
