SL County Official 2012 Tax Notice Mailing

SL County Official 2012
Tax Notice Mailing

Salt Lake County property owners will get their property tax notices in the mail this week. November 1 is the traditional mailing date for property taxes notices.

“During these tough economic times, an extra three weeks provides a little extra time for citizens to make any necessary arrangements,” says County Treasurer K. Wayne Cushing. This earlier mailing date also provides additional time for the Treasurer’s office to receive returned notices from the post office, research corrected addresses, and forward them to taxpayers in a timely manner.

“Even with the County’s severe budget constraints, including employee pay cuts, our staff put in the extra effort to provide a quicker response time in generating the notices” added Mr. Cushing. “Only with the help of other County agencies including the Assessor, Auditor, IT, and the County Council’s Tax Administration Department and the outside support of Wells Fargo Bank were we able to complete this task in record time.”

Even though the County has not raised taxes for nearly a decade and it has experienced budget and staff reductions for years, collections continue to increase amounting to $28M in 2012 and a $150M increase since 2009.

This growth is due to our population increase as well as non-county entities adjusting rates to absorb the expansion.

K. Wayne Cushing, Salt Lake County Treasurer

The County Treasurer, as an independent elected official, collects for and distributes to 69 of separate self-determining entities within the County. These include police and fire, schools, libraries, cities, utilities, etc. Less than 20% of those collections go to Salt Lake County.

Approximately, $1Billion in tax revenues and fees will be distributed to the various county, city and other governmental entities for 2012.
