Emery County: what property owners should know about corrected 2026 valuation notices and appeals
Summary
After approving valuation corrections, county staff said corrected notices will be mailed and property owners will have 45 days from mailing to appeal; staff must prepare individualized letters and urged owners to review notices carefully.
Emery County officials said corrected property‑valuation notices will be mailed after the assessor's office completes manual corrections to parcels affected by a PUMA mass‑appraisal error. That mailing will start the 45‑day appeal clock for affected property owners.
Brenda Tuttle of the Clerk/Auditor's Office told the board that the county cannot auto‑generate the individualized letters required for each corrected parcel and that staff must prepare them manually. "Our system will not generate that," Tuttle said, so the timing of the mailing — and thus the start of the appeal window — depends on how quickly staff can prepare and send the corrected notices.
The assessor's office recommended residents check their valuation notices every year and to contact the assessor's office or Commissioner Jensen with questions. Staff estimated roughly "90‑ish" parcels were presented for correction at the meeting; the assessor said many of the affected properties were manufactured homes. Property owners who disagree with a corrected valuation can file an appeal within 45 days of the corrected notice mailing, per county procedure.
