State Slashes Farm and Grazing Land Values in Utah
The Utah State Tax Commission ordered a 19 percent cut in assessed valuation of irrigated farm lands in 23 counties including Uintah and a similar cut for grazing lands in five counties. The action, cited by Tax Commissioner Howard P Leatham, follows a period of declining agricultural prices. The reductions total about 2.6 million dollars, with additional adjustments made by county assessors in counties not affected by farmland cuts. The commission also equalized values, increasing farm land in Utah and Wasatch counties by 10 percent to offset prior reductions, and restored a 1 percent reduction in improvements for Murray and Jordan districts. The overall effect shifts total valuations and net taxes, with the report noting further details on page four.
