Weber County, UT Property Tax Appeals: Sept 15 Deadline

Weber County, Utah homeowners file valuation appeals with the Weber County Board of Equalization through the Clerk/Auditor's office. The real property deadline is September 15 of the year being appealed, so the 2026 window has closed and the next is September 15, 2027. A late appeal can be filed from September 16 until March 31 of the following year, but the county says the threshold is high. Online filing is the county's default method.

Rules for the rest of Utah are in our Utah property tax appeal guide.

2026 deadline and where to file

Status as of October 10, 2026.

• Late appeal: available September 16 to March 31 of the following year. The county says examples that qualify include a death in the family or a dire medical emergency where no other owner could file. If the late appeal is not accepted, it is filed as a pre-appeal for the next cycle.
• How to file: online (the default), by email to boe@webercountyutah.gov, by mail to Weber County Board of Equalization, Attn: Valuation Appeals, 2380 Washington Blvd Suite 320, Ogden, UT 84401, or in person at that address.

How assessments work in Weber County

Utah values property at fair market value as of January 1 each year. The county assessor uses computer-assisted mass appraisal to set a value for every parcel and must mail the initial valuation notice no later than July 22. You can only appeal the market value on that notice, not the tax rate. In Weber County your notice shows the county's proposed value as of January 1 and your parcel number, and the appeal form asks for your own opinion of fair market value as of the same date. Weber asks you to pick one appeal code and submit the evidence that best fits it.

The owner has to bring some evidence to win a lower value. The Utah State Tax Commission lists the usual kinds: a recent sale or closing documents, an appraisal, sales of comparable homes close to January 1, or a factual error in the county's record such as the wrong square footage. A difference of opinion about value is not a factual error. Once the County Board of Equalization decides, the written decision can be appealed to the Utah State Tax Commission.

Exemptions and their deadlines

• Primary residential exemption: Utah exempts 45 percent of the market value of a primary residence, which makes the taxable value 55 percent of market value. The home must be occupied as a primary domicile for at least 183 consecutive days in a calendar year, and a household can claim only one in Utah.
• When you must apply: beginning January 1, 2027, you file Form TC-473A with the County Board of Equalization if the ownership interest changed (including deed, trust or name updates), if the home was ineligible the prior year, or if the board has reason to think it no longer qualifies.
• Deadline: September 15. The Tax Commission says the county board cannot accept late applications, and a missed deadline can mean the home is taxed at 100 percent of market value for that year.
• Other relief: the Tax Commission lists separate forms for active-duty armed forces, veterans with a disability and blind persons. Your county's tax relief office handles those applications.

How to appeal, step by step

1. Read your valuation notice. Note the parcel or serial number and the market value. Weber County's form asks for the parcel number and the county's proposed value from the notice.
2. Check the record. Compare square footage, basement, garage and lot size to what you know. A factual error is the easiest appeal to win.
3. Build your evidence. Closing documents, an appraisal signed by a certified appraiser, or three or more comparable sales as close to January 1 as possible. Weber's appeal types include comparable properties selling for less (with sale price, date, address, year built, square footage and features for three comps), a purchase in the last two years, a fee appraisal in the last two years, damage from a natural disaster, qualified real property and factual error. Choose one code and attach the documents for it.
4. File by September 15. Start a new appeal on the county's online portal and upload your evidence. Use email, mail or in-person filing only if you cannot file online. Submit a separate form for each account or item you are appealing.
5. Attend the hearing. The county board reviews your evidence and issues a written decision. The county board issues a written decision after reviewing your evidence.
6. Appeal to the State Tax Commission if you disagree. File Form TC-194 with the County Auditor within 30 days of the date on the county board's decision. The Auditor forwards the record to the Commission's Appeals Unit.
