Daggett County approves certified tax rates; staff explains how assessed values and rates balance budget obligations
Summary
Commissioners approved the certified tax rates after staff explained that assessed-value shifts drive small changes in certified rates; the auditor’s calculations show the county portion of bills should remain close to last year’s amounts.
Staff walked commissioners through certified tax-rate numbers used to budget for the coming year and clarified how property-value changes affect the certified rate. The auditor and treasurer explained the mechanics: if assessed values rise, the tax rate can fall to produce similar revenue for county budgets; conversely, reduced values may cause small rate increases. One staff member summarized: the 2025 tax rate was 0.002138... and this year’s certified rate is approximately 0.0022.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about centrally assessed property versus local real property and whether the numbers shown included centrally assessed values; staff answered that some totals are outside centrally assessed values. After the explanation, a motion to approve the certified tax rates as presented was made and approved by voice vote.
