4 Board of Equalization Resolution
4867-2729-3154, v. 5
NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT AND BOARD OF EQUALIZATION HEARINGS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the assessment list for the Salt Lake City, Utah
Central Business Improvement Assessment Area No. DA-CBIA-25 (the “Assessment
Area”) has now been completed and is available for examination at the Salt Lake City
Recorder’s office located at 451 South State Street, Room 415, Salt Lake City, Utah. The
City Council has appointed a Board of Equalization to hear and consider arguments from
any person who claims to be aggrieved by the proposed assessments to be levied within
the Assessment Area, including arguments relating to (a) the amount of benefits accruing
to the property proposed to be assessed or (b) the amount of the proposed assessment.
The assessments levied are for the purpose paying for the proposed activities, which
include, but are not limited to, advertising, marketing, special events, festivals,
transportation, newsletters, publications, banners, holiday lighting, homeless services,
security, special projects, housing, town meetings, government policy, cultural promotion,
reports, limited trash pickup through the Ambassadors Program, surveys and other
promotional activities (the “Economic Promotion Activities”) in the downtown area (for
the benefit of the properties within the Assessment Area). The total amount of the
assessments to be levied against benefitted property within Assessment Area is expected
to be $6,187,659, and will be based upon (i) 2024 taxable property values (the “Base
Assessment”), plus (ii) linear feet (except that corner lots will not be assessed for both
frontages as applicable, only one) on certain properties with frontage on certain streets for
special holiday lights (the “Holiday Light Assessment” and together with the Base
Assessment, the “Assessment”). The unit cost is each property’s proportionate share of
the Economic Promotion Activities applicable to the property as described in this notice.
Funding from assessments provides only a portion of the total budget for the Assessment
Area’s programs and activities. Salt Lake City, Utah (the “City”) will not contribute any
of its own funds for the Economic Promotion Activities; however, the City anticipates that
the manager of the Assessment Area will secure non-assessment funds from other sources
such as grants, foundations, promotions, contributions, earned income, and sponsorships.
As required by law, three persons have been duly appointed to act as the Board of
Equalization on the assessments proposed to be levied on the property benefited within the
Assessment Area. The Board of Equalization for assessments proposed to be levied on the
affected property within the Assessment Area will meet via electronic means or in person
at the City & County Building, Room 326, Salt Lake City, Utah, on January 7, 2025,
between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.; on January 8, 2025, between the hours of
10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.; and on January 9, 2025, between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and
2:00 p.m. to hear and consider any objections to and make any corrections of any proposed
assessments that the Board may deem necessary to meet the requirements of the
Assessment Area Act, Title 11, Chapter 42, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended.
The assessment list and amounts of the proposed assessment against each parcel of
property have been completed and are available for public examination from 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. at the Office of the City Recorder, 451 South State Street, Room 415, Salt Lake
City, Utah.
5 Board of Equalization Resolution
4867-2729-3154, v. 5
After the Board has held all hearings and has made all corrections the Board
considers necessary to comply with the law, the Board will report its findings to the City
Council of the City. Appeal from a decision of the Board of Equalization may be taken to
the City Council of the City by filing with the City Council a written notice of appeal in
the office of the City Recorder within fifteen (15) days after the date the Board’s final
report to the City Council is mailed to the affected property owners.
By resolution of the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, this November 12, 2024.
