Tax Information

For the 2023 calendar year, the Salt Lake City School District is proposing an increase to the Certified Tax Rate. Following the maturity of some general obligation bonds, the district is proposing to recapture the revenues that were being used to pay off debt and use those revenues for future capital needs. Capital projects, such as construction, roofs, parking lot resurfacing, HVAC systems have seen a large increase in costs due to inflation. This revenue will help offset the inflationary increases and help the district maintain its buildings in a safe, efficient manner.

The below chart shows the homeowner of an average valued home of $576,000 in Salt Lake City would pay and additional $18.06 per year under the proposed rate. This still is $121.33 less than the previous year.
