Wasatch County Prioritizes Property Tax Relief For Homeowners

More Wasatch County property owners will now be eligible for property tax relief. The Wasatch County Council voted earlier this week to raise the Low-income Abatement and Homeowner’s Tax Credit income limits by 50% from the State of Utah’s current limit. Council member Luke Searle shared, “the council recognizes that the challenges of raising housing costs are statewide, not just here in Wasatch County. We are committed to taking steps here within the county to offer property tax relief, and also encouraging the Utah Legislature to invest in and expand tax relief programs.” To qualify, seniors and residents in need must fill out an application beginning May 1, 2025, and applications are due Sept. 1, 2025. Residents must reapply each year they are eligible.
