SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. _62_ of 2024
(Adopting the final rate of tax levy, including the final levy for the
Library Fund, upon all real and personal property within
Salt Lake City, made taxable by law for fiscal year 2024-2025)
An ordinance adopting the final rate of tax levy, including the final levy for the Library
Fund, upon all real and personal property within Salt Lake City made taxable by law for fiscal
year 2024-2025.
Be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City:
PREAMBLE
Chapter 2, Title 59 of the Utah Code 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 provides for certain notice and hearing requirements if the
proposed tax rate exceeds the certified tax rate. In that event, the proposed tax rate does not
become final unless approved by resolution of the City Council following such notice and public
hearing. 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.
It is the intent of Salt Lake City to adopt a total final tax rate for the general fund and to
also adopt a final tax rate for the Library. The City acknowledges this action requires a truth in
taxation hearing.
