This new tool shows how much the government thinks your — and your neighbor’s — home is worth

The amount Utahns pay in property tax varies from house to house, and lot to lot, based on what elected county assessors think a property is worth. But information on those assessments has not always been easily accessible to all Utah residents.

Utah State Auditor John Dougall announced a new tool Wednesday for the public to check the valuation of any property in the state at PropertyValues.utah.gov. The tool, a news release said, “is the result of taxpayer concerns about inequitable valuations and questions about adequate oversight.”

“The release of the new Property Values Tool brings greater transparency to Utah taxpayers,” Dougall said in a written statement. “The Utah constitution requires uniform and equal treatment of properties in Utah. This tool will help Utahns better monitor that effort.”

Information in the Property Values Tool includes data compiled from counties throughout the state, which was provided by county assessors, according to the auditor’s office.

Nine counties — Box Elder, Cache, Daggett, Kane, Sanpete, Summit, Uintah, Wasatch and Wayne — have not submitted data to the state, according to the tool, and Sevier County’s data is still being processed.

Any errs in the data should be directed to individual counties, a disclaimer on the tool says. If Utahns think there is an issue with the assessed value of their property, they have the right to appeal the valuation to a county board of equalization.

Appeals for this year’s assessments are due to the county board of equalization by Sept. 15, or 45 days after valuation notices are mailed. Counties hold hearings and make decisions on those appeals through Oct. 1.

Rejected appeals can be taken to the Utah State Tax Commission and, if necessary, to court.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. sets the tone for Washington Huskies’ run to the college football title game

New Orleans • The Sugar Bowl was a little more than 24 hours away, and sixth-year Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. called a players-only meeting as their moment drew near. He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready. No one was more ready than Penix himself, who connect...
