Utah Taxation: Difference between revisions

These records begin as early as the 1850s in some counties and continue to the present. Property tax records usually list a brief description of the property, its value, and the tax assessed. To locate these records, you may contact the office of the county treasurer or the Utah State Archives. Also, county assessor and the county clerks may have some tax records.  

The Family History Library has copies of some property tax lists. These are listed under the county in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog. For example, for Utah County see:  

Utah County. (Utah) Assessor. ''Assessment rolls: 1865–1915''. Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1958, 1965. (On 91 Family History Library [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=161530&disp=Assessment+rolls%20%20&columns=*,0,0 films beginning with 164645].) These records are grouped mostly by geographic area. In addition to property taxes, they may include sheep tax, businesses, corporations, school tax records, mine proceeds, and copies of published delinquency notices.
