Salt Lake County Assessor Property Search & Tax Lookup 2026

Salt Lake County, Utah • 2026 parcel, value, tax & deed guide

Open the Correct Salt Lake Property Record

Use the Salt Lake County Assessor when you need a property owner, address, parcel number, 2026 market value or property characteristics. Use the Treasurer for tax payment, the Auditor and Board of Equalization for valuation appeals, and the Recorder for deeds and recorded ownership history.

This guide shows how to search by name, address or parcel, use the county parcel map, read the 2026 CAMA record, prepare a September valuation appeal, check the residential exemption and avoid confusing an assessor value with the property-tax amount.

Fast Answer: Assessor, Treasurer, Auditor or Recorder?

Assessor: property value, parcel lookup, owner display, property characteristics and residential-exemption questions. Treasurer: amount due, payment, delinquency and tax relief. Auditor / Board of Equalization: valuation notice and formal property-value appeal. Recorder: deeds, document history, legal-description research and recorded ownership changes.

Which Salt Lake County Property Office Should You Use?

Salt Lake City is inside Salt Lake County, so a “Salt Lake City county assessor search” usually still begins with the Salt Lake County Assessor. The city is not a separate county assessor jurisdiction.

Assessor

Use for owner display, parcel search, fair market value, land/building value, residential exemption, property type and assessment characteristics.

Official Salt Lake County Assessor Open Assessor Parcel Search

Treasurer

Use when the question is how much tax is owed, whether payment posted, how to pay, delinquency, penalty, refund or tax-relief assistance.

Official Salt Lake County Treasurer Property Tax Payment

Auditor / Board of Equalization

Use for the Notice of Valuation and Tax Change, 2026 valuation appeals, appeal status and Board decisions.

Recorder

Use for deeds, ownership transactions, recorded-document history, parcel map information and document copies.

Official Salt Lake County Recorder Property Record Data Services

Wrong-office mistake: the Assessor does not set the individual tax rates and the Board of Equalization does not directly reduce a tax bill. The Board reviews the current fair market value. Tax rates and exemptions then determine taxable value and the eventual bill.

How to Search Salt Lake County Property Records

The official Assessor finder supports three strong starting points: owner, address and parcel number.

Open the Assessor parcel finder

Use the county’s official Assessor search instead of a private owner-report or people-search website.

Choose one strong identifier

Search by owner when you know the taxpayer, address when you know the location, or the parcel number when you need the most exact match.

Select the autocomplete result

When using address or parcel entry, begin typing and choose the correct suggestion from the county dropdown rather than pasting an unrecognized free-form address.

Confirm the parcel before relying on it

Match the owner display, physical address, parcel number, property type, tax district and acreage before using the value or moving to payment.

Review the 2026 valuation record

Check land value, building value, final value, residential-exemption status, property characteristics and prior-year value history.

Save the parcel number

Use the parcel number for Treasurer payments, valuation notices, appeal paperwork, Recorder research and map searches.

After you understand the workflow, use the official search below.

Salt Lake County Assessor Search Owner, Address or Parcel

Salt Lake County Assessor Property Search by Owner Name

The Assessor’s owner field shows the expected format as Last Name, First Name.

What you know	Best first search	If nothing appears
Individual owner	SMITH, JANE	Try the last name only and confirm matches by address.
Joint owners	Search either known surname.	Check whether the record is indexed under the first-listed owner.
Trust	Distinctive trust or surname wording.	Try fewer words or search the property address.
LLC / corporation	Distinctive legal-entity name.	Remove punctuation or entity suffix and retry.
Recent buyer	Physical address first.	Search the prior owner and then verify the newer deed with the Recorder.

Owner-search limitation: an Assessor owner field is useful assessment information, but it is not a title report. If current legal ownership matters for a purchase, probate, lien or title issue, verify the recorded documents through the Recorder.

Salt Lake County Assessor Property Search by Address

The county search uses address autocomplete. Start typing the property address and select the matching result from the dropdown.

Best first attempt

Begin with house number and street name.
Wait for the county suggestion list.
Select the official autocomplete result.
Confirm municipality and parcel number after opening.

If the address fails

Remove apartment or suite details.
Try fewer address words.
Search by owner name.
Use the Recorder free search with the address.
Use map-based parcel identification for vacant land.

Salt Lake street-grid tip: addresses may contain directional/grid-style components such as 2500 S 8000 W. Let the county autocomplete choose the stored address instead of assuming the spacing or abbreviation used by another map service will match the Assessor database.

Salt Lake County Assessor Parcel Search

Parcel number is the cleanest search when street addresses are confusing, the property is vacant, or several owners have similar names.

Displayed parcel format

The county finder shows parcel numbers in this style:

00-00-000-000-0000

Copy the identifier from the county record or tax notice rather than guessing where separators belong.

Where to find your parcel number

Assessor property record.
Notice of Valuation.
Property-tax notice.
Treasurer payment record.
Recorder property search.

What the 2026 Salt Lake County Assessor Record Shows

Current 2026 detail pages identify the data as the Assessor’s CAMA record certified May 22, 2026 for the tax year.

Field	What it helps you understand	Important limitation
Parcel Record	Unique county parcel identifier.	Do not substitute another parcel from an adjacent lot or common area.
Owner	Owner information carried in the assessment record.	Not a substitute for a title search.
Address	Situs/property location.	May differ from the owner mailing address.
Total acreage	Acreage carried for appraisal/parcel purposes.	Do not use online acreage alone to resolve a boundary dispute.
Property type	County classification such as residential, public, vacant or other use.	Property tax classification is not necessarily the same as zoning.
Tax district	Taxing-area context that affects rates.	The Assessor does not itself set all tax rates.
Residential Exemption	Whether a parcel is identified as receiving the Utah primary residential treatment.	Partial/multi-use situations may require closer review.
Land Value	Assessor allocation to land.	You appeal total current-year market value, not land alone.
Building Value	Assessor allocation to improvements.	Not insurance replacement cost.
Final Value	Current Assessor market-value result.	Not the tax bill.
Cost Date	Date associated with current cost-calculation data.	Do not interpret it as the deed or purchase date.
Value History	Prior land/building/final values and historical tax-rate information.	2026 tax rate may not be shown until the annual rate process is complete.

Why a 2026 record may say “Tax Rate not set”: Assessor values are certified earlier in the annual cycle than final tax rates. The value record can therefore be available before the final current-year tax amount.

Salt Lake County Assessor Property Search Map

Two map paths are useful: the Assessor Parcel Viewer for appraisal context and the Recorder’s newer interactive parcel/tax-map platform for parcel-record research.

Assessor Parcel Viewer

Use the Assessor’s GIS tools when you want parcel-location context tied to valuation and assessment work.

Identify the parcel visually.
Compare nearby parcels.
Review parcel identification.
Check tax-district context.
Use aerial imagery for appraisal research.

Official Assessor GIS Open Assessor GIS

Recorder Interactive Parcel Map

The Recorder upgraded its tax-map system to a newer interactive Parcel Fabric platform. Older static plat-page maps have been discontinued for new updates, although historical versions remain available through Data Services.

Official Recorder mapping information Review Interactive Map Changes

Boundary warning: use GIS as a parcel-identification tool, not as a legal survey. For a fence, encroachment, easement or exact boundary problem, compare recorded plats and deeds and obtain professional survey assistance where necessary.

Salt Lake County Market Value, Taxable Value and 2026 Taxes

The Assessor determines fair market value. Taxing entities determine rates. The Treasurer collects the resulting tax.

Term	What it means
Fair market value	The Assessor’s estimate of the property’s current market value under Utah assessment rules.
Primary residential taxable value	A qualifying primary residence generally receives a 45% residential exemption, leaving 55% of market value subject to the property-tax calculation.
Non-primary / other property	Generally does not receive the same 45% primary-residential reduction unless another exemption applies.
Tax district	Combination of taxing entities that apply to the parcel, such as city, school and special districts.
Tax rate	Rates established through Utah’s taxing-entity budget and tax-rate process, not by the County Assessor alone.
Tax bill	The Treasurer-administered amount due after taxable value, rates and applicable adjustments are applied.

Simple residential example

If a qualifying primary residence has a $600,000 fair market value, the 45% primary residential exemption leaves a $330,000 taxable-value starting point:

$600,000 × 55% = $330,000

This example does not produce the final tax bill because the property’s actual tax district and current rates still matter.

Why taxes can rise even if value stays the same

Salt Lake County’s Assessor explains that a tax increase can come from tax-rate changes within the parcel’s tax district even when the Assessor’s market value did not increase.

Utah Primary Residential Exemption in Salt Lake County

A qualifying primary residence receives a 45% reduction in taxable market value for property-tax purposes.

Basic primary-residence rule

The dwelling serves as someone’s primary domicile.
The residence is occupied for at least 183 consecutive days in a year.
Only one exemption may be claimed per household within Utah.
A qualifying tenant can support primary-residential treatment of another residence.

Usually not qualifying

Vacation home.
Seasonal or summer home.
Recreational cabin.
Second residence that is not used as a tenant’s primary residence.

Did you receive a declaration letter? Salt Lake County says notification letters are sent when the owner address does not match the property location address. If you did not receive one of those notices, the county says you do not need to verify the Residential Exemption merely because of that process.

If a required residential-exemption declaration is not returned within 30 days of mailing, Salt Lake County says the exemption can be removed. Reapplication can then require evidence such as driver-license, voter-registration or rental documentation.

Salt Lake County 2026 Property Valuation Appeal

As of August 12, 2026, the regular Board of Equalization filing period is open. This is a current-year market-value appeal—not an appeal of the tax amount.

Appeal opens August 1 2026 filings are currently being accepted.

Deadline September 15 2026 regular filing deadline.

Value date January 1 Evidence should support value as of January 1, 2026.

Taxes still due November 30 Pay the billed tax if the appeal is still pending.

Four ways to submit a 2026 appeal

Method	2026 practical rule	What to keep
Online	Complete the county portal and attach supporting evidence. The 2026 form states online submission must be completed by 11:59:59 p.m. on September 15.	Submission confirmation and copies of every uploaded file.
Email	Send the completed Appeal Form and evidence to the county property-tax-appeals email address.	Sent email, attachment list and delivery confirmation if available.
Mail	The 2026 form accepts mailed appeals with a postmark no later than September 15.	Full copy and reliable proof of mailing/postmark.
In person	The 2026 application states the Board office must receive an in-person filing before 5:00 p.m. September 15.	Receipt or timestamped copy.

What the 2026 appeal form requires

Owner/taxpayer information.
Property address.
Phone number.
Email for hearing-related information.
Parcel number.
Your opinion of fair market value — required.
Basis for appeal.
Supporting evidence.
Hearing preference.
Signature of owner or authorized representative.

You cannot appeal only the tax amount. The official 2026 form says the Board reviews the assessed fair market value for 2026. The tax-change amount shown on the valuation notice is not itself the appealable value.

Board can raise, lower or maintain value. Filing an appeal is a request for review of the complete current-year value, not a guaranteed reduction.

Build a Stronger 2026 Appeal Evidence Package

Salt Lake County requires evidence that supports your requested fair market value as of January 1 of the tax year under appeal.

Residential appeal evidence

Closing statement for a qualifying recent purchase.
Complete professional appraisal.
Comparable property sales.
Documentation of a factual property-record error.
Photos and reliable records supporting condition differences.

Income-producing property

Prior-year rent roll.
Vacancy-rate support.
Income and expense statement.
Capitalization-rate evidence.
Comparable property information where appropriate.

Comparable-sale rules

County appeal guidance calls for sales within approximately one year before January 1 of the current tax year. For a comparable-sales appeal, Salt Lake County says a minimum of three comparable sales is required and up to five is preferred.

Use similar location.
Compare property size.
Compare age.
Compare land area.
Compare style.
Compare condition.
Include sales date and sales price.

Evidence timing: the appeal form states that supporting documentation should be filed with the appeal. Appeals without sufficient evidence can be dismissed rather than held open indefinitely while the owner gathers documents.

Commercial appeal requirements

The current county instructions state that all commercial appeals require a Confidentiality Agreement. If the appellant is not the owner, an Owner Authorization is also required.

Hearing choices on the 2026 form

Choice	Meaning
Waiver	Owner waives appearance and allows the appeal to be decided on the written record.
Phone hearing	Participate remotely by telephone.
Virtual hearing	Participate using the Board’s virtual-hearing process.
In-person hearing	The 2026 form identifies this route for those requiring special accommodations.

What Happens After You File the Appeal?

1. Screening

Tax Administration reviews whether the appeal contains sufficient evidence. A request for more evidence can be issued; failing to respond can lead to dismissal.

2. Value Review

The Assessor reviews the appeal record and can recommend whether the value should be adjusted.

3. Hearing / Board

A hearing officer may review evidence and recommend a value. The Board of Equalization formally approves the decision.

4. State Tax Commission

A dissatisfied taxpayer generally has 30 days after receiving the county decision to pursue the Utah State Tax Commission route.

Appeal pending on November 30? Salt Lake County recommends paying the tax as billed to avoid penalties. If the appeal later reduces the amount, the Treasurer handles the resulting adjustment/refund process.

What If You Miss the September 15 Appeal Deadline?

A filing after the normal deadline is not automatically accepted. Salt Lake County publishes limited late-appeal criteria and states that certain late appeals may be considered through March 31 of the following tax year.

Examples of county-listed late-appeal grounds

Medical emergency involving the owner or immediate family when no co-owner could file.
Death of the owner or immediate family member when no co-owner could file.
County failure to comply with specified statutory notice requirements.
A factual error discovered in county records, limited to correction of that factual error and resulting value change.
Extraordinary and unanticipated circumstances that actually prevented timely filing.

Salt Lake County specifically warns that simply not receiving a notice is not necessarily enough when the county record shows the notice was sent to the last known address. Absence from Utah by itself is also not treated as an extraordinary circumstance.

Salt Lake County Property Tax Search, Payment and Due Date

Once your question becomes “how much do I owe?” switch from the Assessor to the Treasurer.

Open the Treasurer payment system

Use your parcel number or the Treasurer’s parcel-address lookup.

Confirm the parcel and tax year

Compare the parcel number and address before adding the account to the shopping cart.

Review taxes due

The payment workflow shows the amount due and allows an eligible partial payment by changing the pre-entered payment amount.

Add any additional parcels

The county payment shopping cart can hold up to eight parcels.

Pay and retain confirmation

Save the transaction ID, parcel number, amount and payment date until the payment appears on the official account.

2026 payment timeline

July 22 — Notice of Valuation and Tax Change

The Auditor’s statutory calendar identifies July 22 as the date by which valuation/tax-change notices are mailed.

August 1–September 15 — value appeal window

The Board of Equalization is open for current-year valuation appeals.

Before November 1 — tax notice

The annual property-tax notice is mailed during the fall billing cycle.

November 30 — current tax due

Pay or ensure the required payment is finalized by the deadline to avoid delinquency treatment.

After November 30 — penalty risk

The Treasurer publishes a delinquency penalty of the greater of 2.5% or $10 per parcel, subject to the reduced January rule described below.

January 31 — reduced-penalty opportunity

If the full balance and penalty are paid by the applicable January 31 deadline, the Treasurer publishes a reduced penalty of 1% or $10 per parcel. Remaining balances after January can also accrue statutory interest retroactive to January 1.

Online maintenance: the Treasurer warns that its payment application has nightly scheduled maintenance approximately from 11:55 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Mountain time. Do not wait until the final minutes of the due date to begin an online payment.

Bank rejection risk: an online confirmation is not always the final proof that funds cleared. The Treasurer warns that rejected banking transactions can still leave a parcel subject to applicable late penalty and interest.

Salt Lake County Property Owner Search, Deeds and Recorder Records

The Assessor owner search is best for a quick property lookup. The Recorder is the official record keeper for recorded ownership transactions.

Recorder search options

Option	Current Recorder service	Best use
Free Search	No-cost quick list of recorded documents on a property.	Basic ownership/document-history research.
$5 / 24-hour access	Up to 150 data units; temporary access ends when units are used or 24 hours passes.	Small research project requiring deeper digital record access.
Data-unit package	Larger paid packages with persistent account access.	Professional or higher-volume property-record research.

Recorder Data Services requires an address or parcel number to begin. That is why the fastest workflow is usually Assessor search first → save parcel number → Recorder search second.

Address-to-deed workflow

Find the parcel with the Assessor

Save the parcel number, owner display and property address.

Open Recorder Data Services

Start with the free property search if you simply need the document list.

Select the address or parcel suggestion

The Recorder public search warns that the address or parcel number must be selected from its auto-populated dropdown list.

Review recorded documents

Use deed/document types, dates and parties to identify the relevant transaction.

Order or verify the record when needed

Use official copies, title work or legal assistance when the purpose requires more than an informational online search.

Recorder freshness warning: Salt Lake County says public property information may be 24 hours old or older and that a title search may be necessary to verify accuracy. Newly recorded document images are typically available by the next working day.

Salt Lake County Assessor Property Search FAQs

What is the official Salt Lake County Assessor property search?

The Salt Lake County Assessor provides an official parcel finder that lets you search by owner name, property address or parcel number. Use it for fair market value, property characteristics, residential-exemption status and parcel information.

How do I search Salt Lake County property records by address?

Begin typing the property address in the Assessor finder and select the correct address from the county autocomplete dropdown. If the address does not appear, simplify the entry or search by owner or parcel number.

How do I search Salt Lake County property records by owner name?

Use the Assessor owner field in Last Name, First Name format. If a full name does not work, try the surname alone and verify each result using the property address and parcel number.

What does a Salt Lake County parcel number look like?

The Assessor search displays parcel numbers in a format such as 00-00-000-000-0000. Copy the parcel number from an official county property record, valuation notice or tax notice rather than guessing the separators.

Where can I find the Salt Lake County property parcel map?

Use the Assessor GIS resources for appraisal-related parcel mapping or the Recorder’s interactive parcel-map resources for property-record and cadastral research. A GIS parcel line should not be treated as a legal survey.

What is the Salt Lake County 2026 property appeal deadline?

The regular 2026 Board of Equalization appeal deadline is September 15, 2026. The official form says in-person filings must arrive before 5:00 p.m., mailed filings must be postmarked by the deadline, and online filings must be submitted no later than 11:59:59 p.m.

What evidence do I need for a Salt Lake County property appeal?

The appeal must include evidence supporting your opinion of fair market value as of January 1, 2026. Examples include a recent purchase closing statement, professional appraisal, comparable sales, proof of a factual error, or income and expense evidence for an income-producing property.

What is Utah’s primary residential property-tax exemption?

A qualifying primary residence receives a 45% residential exemption, meaning 55% of its fair market value is generally used as the taxable-value starting point. Salt Lake County describes a primary residence as a primary domicile occupied for at least 183 consecutive days in a year.

When are Salt Lake County property taxes due?

Current-year Salt Lake County real-property taxes are normally due November 30. If an appeal is still pending at that time, the county recommends paying the tax as billed to avoid penalty and interest, with any later appeal adjustment handled through the Treasurer.

Where do I verify the legal owner or find a Salt Lake County deed?

Use the Salt Lake County Recorder rather than relying only on the Assessor owner field. The Recorder’s free property search can show a list of recorded documents, and its Data Services provides deeper record access when needed.

Best Salt Lake County Search Order

Start with the Assessor using the owner name, address or parcel number. Save the parcel ID and review the 2026 valuation record. Then use GIS for location research, the Auditor and Board of Equalization for a value appeal, the Treasurer for the tax bill and the Recorder when you need recorded ownership documents.

For 2026, the most time-sensitive step is the valuation appeal: if the market value is wrong, gather evidence now and complete the appropriate Board of Equalization filing by September 15 rather than waiting for the November tax-payment deadline.
