Grand County BOE accepts late appeal for review, denies valuation at hearing
Summary
The Board of Equalization agreed to accept a late valuation appeal from a Castle Valley property owner citing divorce and relocation, then after hearing moved to deny the requested valuation change; the appellant may appeal to the State Tax Commission.
At the Board of Equalization meeting the commission considered a request to accept a late appeal of an assessed property valuation for parcel 09-000-0399. The property owner (appearing virtually and identified in the record as Terry) said a recent divorce and a move interrupted her ability to file a timely appeal.
County staff cited Utah Administrative Code guidance allowing acceptance of delayed appeals in "extraordinary and unanticipated circumstances" and noted the board has discretion. After hearing argument and staff advice, commissioners voted unanimously to accept the late appeal for consideration and to proceed to the valuation hearing.
At the subsequent valuation hearing the assessor provided the record evidence used to set the valuation; commissioners deliberated and then moved to deny the appellant's request to change the valuation. The motion to deny passed unanimously. Staff advised the appellant on the process to appeal to the State Tax Commission and offered assistance.
The board's public record shows the motion to accept the late appeal and the motion to deny the valuation, and the appellant was informed of next steps for appeal to the state.
