What is Truth in Taxation?

Utah’s property tax system is governed by a set of laws and regulations commonly referred to as “Truth in Taxation.” The objective of these rules is to keep property taxes from rising simply as a result of increasing property values. Each year the Utah State Tax Commission determines each taxing entity’s “Certified Tax Rate”. Anytime a taxing entity assesses a property tax rate higher than the certified rate, the entity must advertise that rate as a tax increase.
