Annual Utah Property Tax Calendar
January 1: Property Value Date
Your property’s market value is determined as of January 1 of the tax year. County assessors estimate what your property would likely have sold for on this date, using recent market sales and other valuation data. Later changes to the housing market generally do not affect that year’s assessment.
July: Assessment Notices
Most homeowners receive a Notice of Property Valuation and Tax Changes during July. Utah law requires counties to mail valuation notices no later than July 22.
Your notice typically includes:
- Your property’s estimated market value
- Your projected property taxes
- Information about Truth in Taxation hearings
- Instructions for filing an appeal
Review this notice carefully as soon as it arrives. This is the starting point for both the appeal process and Truth in Taxation hearings.
Appeal Deadline: September 15
Valuation Appeal Deadline
If you believe your property’s market value is incorrect, you generally must file your appeal by September 15 or 45 days after your valuation notice is mailed — whichever is later. Always verify the exact deadline printed on your assessment notice, as individual circumstances can vary. Waiting until your tax bill arrives is usually too late. Note: the 2026 appeal window has already closed for most Utah counties. Watch for your 2027 valuation notice in July 2027.

Truth in Taxation Hearings
During the summer, cities, counties, school districts, and other taxing entities may hold public Truth in Taxation hearings before increasing property tax revenue. Your valuation notice generally lists the dates, times, and locations of hearings affecting your property. These hearings give residents an opportunity to comment before tax increases are adopted.
Tax Bills
After local tax rates have been finalized, counties prepare and mail annual property tax bills – typically in October or November. Your bill reflects your property’s assessed market value, applicable exemptions, local tax rates, and any special district assessments.
Payment Deadline: November 30, 2026
Property Tax Payment Deadline
Annual property taxes are due November 30. Unpaid balances after this date may be subject to penalties and interest. Under Utah Code 59-2-1331, if November 30 falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day — but in 2026, November 30 is a Monday, so the standard deadline applies.
Many homeowners pay through an escrow account maintained by their mortgage lender. Even so, it is worth verifying that your payment was made and that your exemptions are correctly reflected on your bill.
