Commissioners back Tax Advisory Committee recommendations on three property appeals; one appeal withdrawn
Summary
Tax Administration Lead Cheri Mayer presented three property tax appeals and exemptions: commissioners agreed to postpone a Bountiful residential credit pending a lease, deny an exemption for an absentee homeowner who failed to update his county address, and deny a $7,666.16 interest refund request for Farmington office condos; a fourth appeal was withdrawn after assessor correction.
Tax Administration Lead Cheri Mayer reviewed three property tax appeals and exemptions during the Davis County work session on June 9 and recommended actions based on the Tax Advisory Committee's findings.
Mayer summarized the committee's recommendations: postpone a decision on a Bountiful salon converted back to a residence because the homeowner had not occupied the property long enough in 2023 and the county was still awaiting a lease agreement for 2024; deny a 2025 exemption for a homeowner who moved to Kentucky because he failed to update his county address for about ten months and did not respond to notices sent to his last known address; and deny a refund request of $7,666.16 in interest for late property taxes on Farmington office condos because the county found no mailing error and ultimately located the taxpayer's new address through State records. Mayer also noted a fourth appeal had been withdrawn after an assessor corrected the error.
Senior Civil Counsel Mike Kendall told the commission the County had gone above and beyond statutory requirements to locate the taxpayer in the refund case. The commissioners agreed with the Tax Advisory Committee's recommendations as described in the minutes; specific motions or roll-call votes on the appeals are not recorded in the work session minutes.
Next steps: the recommendations will be handled according to normal administrative procedures; the minutes note the Commission's agreement with the committee's recommendations and record the withdrawn appeal.
