Search the Parcel, Then Use the Right County Office
Davis County Property Search combines parcel, ownership, valuation, map and linked tax information, but the Assessor, Recorder, Treasurer and Tax Administration still control different parts of the record. This guide shows exactly where to go after you find the parcel.
Search by owner, address or serial number, check Primary versus Secondary classification, research deeds, compare free search with REDI-Web, prepare a 2026 valuation appeal, avoid declaration mistakes and verify the final tax bill without relying on an unofficial property-data service.
Davis County Utah or Davis County Iowa?
The generic phrase “Davis County assessor property search” can refer to more than one county. This page covers Davis County, Utah, including Farmington and the county’s Property Search 2.0 system.
Uses Davis County Property Search, Utah primary-residence rules, Davis County Recorder, Treasurer and Board of Equalization.
Uses a separate Iowa assessment and recording system. An Iowa property will not appear in the Utah search.
Official Davis County Iowa AssessorFast Answer: Assessor, Recorder, Treasurer or Tax Administration?
Property value or characteristics: Assessor. Owner, address, tax unit, legal description or recorded deed: Recorder. Tax amount, payment or delinquency: Treasurer. Market-value appeal: Tax Administration and the Board of Equalization.
Choose the Correct Davis County Property Office
Property Search is the starting point, but fixing a record or completing an official action depends on who controls that field.
Assessor: market value and characteristics
Use the Assessor for fair market value, building/land characteristics, appraisal methodology, factual property-data errors and Primary versus Secondary residential classification.
Official Davis County Assessor Open AssessorRecorder: ownership and legal land records
Davis County’s Property Search specifically sends ownership, property-address, tax-unit and legal-description questions to the Recorder. The office also maintains deeds, mortgages, liens, plats and surveys.
Official Davis County Recorder Recorder Property SearchTreasurer: tax bill and payment
Use the Treasurer for the payable tax amount, online/IVR payment, delinquent taxes, payment posting, prepayments and annual November due date.
Official Davis County Treasurer Open TreasurerTax Administration / BOE: valuation appeal
The Davis County Commission acts as the Board of Equalization. Tax Administration receives current-year valuation appeals, supporting evidence and late-appeal requests.
Official Davis County Tax Administration Open AppealsHow to Search Davis County Utah Property Records
Use the county’s public Property Search first, save the serial number and only then move into tax, appeal or land-record workflows.
Open Davis County Property Search 2.0
Use the county’s map-based public search rather than a private people-search or property-report website.
Search by address, owner or parcel information
Start with the strongest identifier you know. The county Recorder identifies owner name, property address, parcel/serial number and document entry number as core property-record search keys.
Open the matching parcel
Confirm the property location, owner display and parcel/serial number instead of choosing a result solely because the name looks familiar.
Choose View Parcel Detail
Review characteristics, classification, valuation and linked tax information available for the property.
Save the serial number
Use the serial number when calling county staff, checking taxes, researching ownership history or filing a valuation appeal.
Verify the final record with the responsible office
Online property information can lag. Verify title, legal descriptions, appeal deadlines and delinquent tax balances with the office that controls that record.
Search by Owner, Name, Address or Parcel / Serial Number
What you have |
Best first search |
If the search fails |
|---|---|---|
Property address |
House number and main street name. |
Remove unit, ZIP and unnecessary formatting before making the query longer. |
Owner name |
Current owner surname or distinctive entity name. |
Try a shorter name, previous owner, trust or business name and confirm with address/serial. |
Parcel / serial number |
Exact serial number from a tax or valuation notice. |
Check the identifier for missing or transposed digits. |
Document entry number |
Use Recorder record-search resources. |

Physical property address. |
Ownership displays can lag; compare the recorded deed and prior owner history. |
Only a map location |
Use Property Search’s map-based interface. |
Start from a nearby known parcel/address and navigate to the target property. |
Davis County Assessor Property Search Map
Property Search 2.0 is an all-in-one map-based system, making it useful for parcels that are hard to identify by postal address alone.
Use the map for
- Finding the parcel behind an address.
- Opening a mapped parcel’s detail record.
- Checking nearby parcel locations.
- Finding the serial number.
- Moving from a parcel to linked property-tax information.
Do not use the map for
- Proving an exact property boundary.
- Preparing a legal description.
- Resolving fence or encroachment disputes.
- Replacing a recorded plat.
- Replacing a survey or title search.

Davis County Recorder Property and Parcel Search
Use the Recorder when your search moves beyond value and into ownership history or recorded land documents.
Public Recorder search can help find
- Owner name.
- Property address.
- Parcel / serial number.
- Document entry number.
- Current and historical ownership.
- Deeds, mortgages and liens.
- Legal descriptions and acreage information.
- Assessment values and mailing-address information.
What Recorder staff cannot do
Davis County says Recorder staff cannot act as your property attorney or title company, provide legal advice, or perform a title search/research request for you.
They can explain public resources and help you locate county records, but the legal interpretation remains the user’s or an appropriate professional’s responsibility.
Free Property Search vs. REDI-Web Subscription

Davis County Primary Residential Exemption: 45% Taxable-Value Reduction
For a qualifying Utah primary residence, Davis County removes 45% of fair market value from taxation, leaving 55% as taxable value for the qualifying residential portion.
Basic qualification
- Owner occupancy for at least 183 consecutive days in a calendar year can qualify.
- A property occupied by a long-term tenant for at least 183 consecutive days can also qualify.
- The exemption applies to the first acre used with the primary residence.
- Land above one acre does not receive the residential exemption merely because it is part of the homesite.
Generally not qualifying
- Vacant residential properties.
- Short-term rentals such as transient Airbnb/VRBO use.
- Secondary homes.
- Vacation homes and cabins.
- Time-shares and other transient housing.
- Commercial property and vacant land.
How to check whether your parcel is receiving it
Search your address or property tax ID
Open Property Search 2.0 and select the correct parcel.
Open View Parcel Detail
Find the Property Characteristics section.
Check Classification
Davis County says “Primary” means the exemption is being received and “Secondary” means it is not.
Compare market and taxable value
For a fully qualifying primary residence, taxable value should reflect the 45% residential exemption rather than equal 100% of market value.
Applying when the exemption is missing
Davis County’s Real Property guidance says a primary-residence application should include at least two supporting documents.
- Driver’s license — preferred by the county.
- Voter registration.
- Utility bills.
- Tax returns.
- Motor-vehicle registration.
Residential Property Declaration: PT-19A, PT-19B and the Deadline on Your Letter
Davis County uses a Residential Property Declaration to verify whether residential property should remain classified as Primary or Secondary.
PT-19A
Davis County says this declaration may be sent after you recently purchased residential property.
PT-19B
The county says this may be sent when property, mailing, voter-registration or driver-license address information does not match or further exemption verification is needed.
What can happen if you ignore the declaration?
The Assessor explains that failure to return a required declaration can lead to removal of the primary-residential exemption. A taxpayer may later reapply if still eligible, but additional evidence may be required.
Davis County 2026 Property Valuation Appeal
The Board of Equalization reviews the current year’s market value. It is not the forum for appealing a tax rate.
The 2026 form says evidence closest to January 1, 2026 receives the most weight.
Davis County generally describes valuation notices as being mailed near the end of July. Read the actual deadline printed on yours.
Submit the appeal and supporting evidence by the applicable deadline. Keep proof of online submission, email, delivery or postmark.
The 2026 BOE instructions say the Tax Notice will be mailed by October 31 even if the valuation appeal process is still ongoing.
If the Board has not issued a decision, the 2026 instructions tell the owner to pay the tax as originally billed to avoid penalties and interest.
2026 Appeal Application: What to Include
Davis County’s official two-page 2026 BOE form provides a useful evidence checklist. Use it to build the appeal rather than submitting only a complaint that the value increased.
Required identifying information
- Current property owner name.
- Property serial number from the Valuation Notice.
- Current mailing address.
- Daytime telephone number and email.
- Property location if different from mailing address.
- Property type.
- Market value shown on the notice.
- Your supported statement of fair market value for January 1, 2026.
- Owner or authorized-agent signature.
Evidence options listed by Davis County
Appeal basis |
Useful documentation |
|---|---|
Recent purchase |
Closing or settlement statements signed by the title company; include the full purchase appraisal if one was obtained. |
Professional appraisal |
The 2026 form accepts a professional fee appraisal completed after January 1, 2025; attach the full appraisal. |
Comparable sales |
At least three comparable sales similar in age, size, style, quality and condition and close to the subject property — under one mile when possible. |
Income approach |
For applicable commercial, industrial or rental property, use rent roll, income/expense statement, operating statement or property-level profit-and-loss statement. |
Factual error |
Clearly document an objectively verifiable error such as incorrect square footage, basement or garage/carport data. |
Primary residence |
Use when qualifying residential treatment is missing and complete the appropriate Assessor primary-residence process. |
Debilitated condition |
Photos, repair estimates, quotations and explanation of the property’s condition. |
Qualified Real Property: Why the Burden of Proof Can Change
Davis County’s 2026 appeal materials explain that certain previously appealed properties may qualify for a different burden-of-proof treatment.
2026 form criteria
- The property is being appealed in the current year.
- It was appealed in the previous year and its value was lowered.
- It was not improved through renovations, additions or similar improvements in the prior year.
- The county’s current value exceeds the applicable inflation-adjusted value.
When the criteria are met, Davis County says it mails information showing the inflation-adjusted value and explaining the change in burden of proof.
Missed the 2026 Appeal Deadline? Late Appeal Is Limited
The 2026 Davis County late-appeal form asks why the statutory deadline was missed. At this stage, the Board first decides whether the appeal may be accepted; it is not yet deciding the market value.
Situations listed on the official late-appeal form
- County notification failure or interference with the owner’s ability to file timely.
- Medical emergency.
- Death of the owner or an immediate family member.
- Extraordinary and unanticipated circumstances supported by documentation.
- Objectively verifiable error in property size, use or ownership.
- Clerical or typographical error in valuation/equalization data.
- Classification error involving property-tax relief.
- Classification error involving an exemption, including the residential exemption.
- Other similar circumstances that meet the governing rule.
Davis County Property Tax Search, Due Date and Payment
Do not use the Assessor to solve a payment problem. Once you need the final amount owed, payment confirmation or delinquent total, use the Treasurer.
Find the correct parcel
Use Property Search and save the property serial number.
Confirm the tax year
Make sure you are looking at 2026 rather than an older delinquent tax balance.
Check the current balance through the Treasurer
Davis County’s property-search system warns that amounts shown as due may not include all interest on delinquent taxes.
Choose the official payment route
The Treasurer supports online and IVR payment options and lists accepted electronic payment methods.
Pay by the annual deadline
For 2026, Davis County’s normal property-tax deadline is November 30 at 5:00 p.m.
Verify the payment posts
The Treasurer says its property-tax website is updated daily and payments normally show as paid within about 24 hours of receipt by the county.
Late-payment and prepayment details
Situation |
Davis County guidance |
|---|---|
Normal annual due date |
November 30 at 5:00 p.m.; the next business day applies when the deadline falls on a weekend under the county’s stated rule. |
Mailed payment |
A payment postmarked on or before the applicable due date is treated as timely. |
Late penalty |
The greater of $10 or 2.5% of tax due for each parcel. |
Paid in full by January 31 |
Treasurer guidance says the penalty can be reduced to the greater of $10 or 1% of tax for each parcel when statutory requirements are met. |
Appeal still pending |
The 2026 BOE instructions say pay the tax as originally billed by the due date; a later reduction produces a refund. |
Coupon prepayment program |
The Treasurer describes nine coupons for one-tenth of the prior-year tax, generally due January through September, with the final balance still due by the annual tax deadline. |

Check recorded plats/deeds and appropriate survey evidence. |
Tax amount may be missing interest |
The property-search portal warns delinquent figures may not include all interest. |
Verify the payoff amount through the Treasurer. |

Register for Property WatchDavis County Property Search FAQs
What is the official Davis County Utah assessor property search?
Start with Davis County Property Search 2.0. It provides a map-based parcel search with property details and linked tax information. Direct valuation questions to the Assessor, ownership and legal-description questions to the Recorder, and tax-payment questions to the Treasurer.
Can I search Davis County property records by owner name?
Yes. Davis County Recorder identifies owner name as a supported property-record search key. Confirm the result using the property address and serial number because owner-name results can include multiple parcels or outdated ownership information after a recent transfer.
Can I search Davis County property records by address or parcel number?
Yes. Davis County Property Search and Recorder resources support property-address and parcel/serial-number lookup. Once you find the correct property, save the serial number for tax, appeal and deed research.
Is Davis County Property Search free?
The normal public county property search does not require the $25-per-month REDI-Web subscription. REDI-Web is an optional service for users who need frequent land-record searches, document images and abstracts. Individual document products and copies can still have fees.
Is the Davis County parcel map a legal survey?
No. Davis County says Property Search information is informational and is not intended for use in legal documents. Use recorded documents, a title search and appropriate survey evidence when legal boundaries or title are at issue.
What is the Davis County Utah 2026 property appeal deadline?
The specific 2026 Board of Equalization application prints September 15, 2026. Davis County’s general real-property rule also says the deadline is 45 days after the valuation notice is mailed or September 15, whichever is later, so follow the date printed on your actual 2026 notice.
What evidence should I submit with a 2026 Davis County valuation appeal?
The 2026 application lists closing documents, professional appraisal evidence, at least three comparable sales, income-approach documents for applicable properties, evidence of factual property-data errors, primary-residence documentation and condition evidence such as photographs and repair estimates. Evidence closest to January 1, 2026 receives the most weight.
How does the Davis County primary residential exemption work?
Qualifying primary residential property receives a 45% exemption from fair market value, leaving 55% taxable for the qualifying residential portion. Davis County generally uses a 183-consecutive-day occupancy test and allows qualifying long-term tenant occupancy as well as owner occupancy.
When are Davis County Utah property taxes due in 2026?
Davis County property taxes are normally due November 30 at 5:00 p.m. If a valuation appeal is still pending, the 2026 BOE instructions say to pay the tax as originally billed by the due date to avoid penalties and interest; a later reduction can produce a refund.
Where do I find a Davis County deed or recorded ownership document?
Use the Davis County Recorder property-search resources. The Recorder maintains deeds, mortgages, liens, plats and related real-property instruments. For legal title verification, use the recorded documents and appropriate title or legal assistance rather than relying solely on the assessor/property-search display.
Best Route for a Davis County Property Search
Start with Property Search 2.0, confirm the parcel and save the serial number. Use the Assessor for value and classification, Recorder for ownership/deeds, Treasurer for the final tax bill and Tax Administration for valuation appeals.
For 2026, pay special attention to the September 15 appeal date printed on the specific 2026 BOE application, the classification shown as Primary or Secondary, and the November 30 property-tax payment deadline.
