SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. 54 of 2004
(Adopting an amended rate of tax levy upon all
real and personal property within Salt Lake City,
made taxable by law for fiscal year 2004-2005)
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AN AMENDED RATE OF TAX LEVY UPON
ALL REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY WITHIN SALT LAKE CITY MADE
TAXABLE BY LAW FOR FISCAL YEAR 2004-2005.

PREAMBLE
Chapter 2, Title 59 of the Utah Code Ann. states that the governing body of each
city shall, by ordinance or resolution, adopt a proposed tax levy or, if the tax rate is not
more than the certified tax rate, a final tax levy on the real and personal property for
various municipal purposes. Chapter 2, Title 59, of the Utah Code Ann. provides for
certain notice and hearing requirements if the proposed tax rate exceeds the certified tax
rate. It is the intent of Salt Lake City to comply with the mandate of the Utah Legislature,
but reserve in itself the power to amend the tax rates set herein to guarantee, after final
appraisal figures have been determined, that it does not exceed the amount required for its
governmental operations and taxing authority granted by the Legislature. Further, it is the
intent of the City to levy an additional tax, if necessary, to cover costs of State legislative
mandates or judicial or administrative orders under Chapter 2, Title 59 of the Utah Code
Ann.
On June 17, 2004, the City adopted Ordinance No. 46 of 2004, by which it
adopted the rate of tax levy for fiscal year 2004-2005. Due to a mistake in the
information provided by the Utah State Tax Commission, the rate of tax levy previously
adopted was in error. Accordingly, the City now wishes to adopt an amended rate of tax
levy for fiscal year 2004-2005.
SECTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this ordinance is to adopt an amended
tax levy upon all real and personal property within Salt Lake City made taxable by law in
the year 2004 to defray the necessary and proper expenses of Salt Lake City to maintain
the government thereof and for operating and maintaining its libraries and reading rooms
and to pay for costs of State legislative mandates or judicial or administrative orders
under Chapter 2, Title 59 of the Utah Code Ann.
SECTION 2. TAX LEVY: 2004-2005. The City Council hereby levies upon all
real and personal property within Salt Lake City made taxable by law in the year 2004, for
the fiscal year of Salt Lake City ending June 30, 2005, as revenue in the general fund and
as revenue in the library fund, a tax of .005540 on each dollar of taxable valuation
of said property apportioned as follows:
(a) 0.003944 shall be credited as revenue in the general fund;
(b) 0.000056 shall be credited as revenue in the general fund to be used for
repayment of court ordered judgments;

Auditor's Office.

Council reconsideration pursuant to § 10-3-1214 of the Utah Code Ann.

determined and levied shall be certified by the City Recorder to the Auditor of Salt Lake
