General Information
The Garfield County Board of Equalization only considers matters related to the valuation of property for tax purposes. The Board cannot consider the amount of tax and other issues not related to the value.
The current market value of your property was determined by an experienced appraiser, as required by Utah Code 59-2-701, using appraisal techniques that are recognized as standard valuation procedures.
Only current year values can be appealed. If you have an appeal pending with the State Tax Commission for a previous year, you must still file an appeal with the Board for the current year.
Burden of Proof
You must present facts to the Board to support your claim that the Assessor’s value on your property is incorrect. Please have proper documentation setting forth the facts supporting your request for an adjustment to the value of the subject property. Your appeal will be denied if you fail to provide the minimum evidence required by the Board.
Possible Outcomes
The Board may raise, lower or maintain the value of your property based on the facts presented by you and the Assessor.
Form to File
A Board of Equalization Form(PDF, 904KB) must be completed for each property and filed in the Clerk’s Office before an appointment time with the Board of Equalization will be assigned.
