What is Personal Property?

The Utah County Assessor is responsible for the equitable and fair assessment of all taxable properties in Utah County. Personal Property is valued based on schedules developed by the Utah State Tax Commission. All non-exempt tangible personal property is valued and assessed annually by the Personal Property Division of the Assessor's Office. 

The Personal Property Division is also responsible to assess the value of motor vehicles, boats, and "manufactured housing" more commonly known as mobile homes. Registered vehicles are assessed a fee at the time of registration.

Examples of Personal Property: Furniture, fixtures, machinery, appliances, tools, signs, and office equipment like computers, phones, wall décor, etc.

How is Personal Property Value Assessed?

All businesses are required to declare their taxable property to the Assessor annually by way of a self-assessing statement. The statements are mailed to all businesses on the tax rolls at the beginning of each year. The taxpayer can file an electronic copy online or fill out a hard copy and return it no later than May 15th, unless otherwise specified on the Confidential Annual Personal Property Tax Statement.
