Weber County values jumped 10.3 percent. Your appeal is due September 15
Weber County home values rose 10.3 percent in 2025, the largest jump of any big county on the Wasatch Front. Fast rising mass appraisal values are exactly where individual over-assessments hide, because a model pushing every neighborhood up double digits will inevitably push some homes too far.
The 2026 appeal window is open now. Your completed appeal form and all supporting evidence are due by midnight on September 15, 2026.
Weber County also has a confirmed live online portal, the Weber County Board of Equalization 2026 Online Appeal at weberapps.co.weber.ut.us/tax/boe, so the filing itself takes minutes once your evidence is ready.
Your Notice of Property Valuation and Tax Changes arrives by July 22. Compare the market value on it to what your home would actually sell for, and read on if the county's number looks high.
When is the deadline to appeal in Weber County?
Utah law sets the deadline as the later of September 15 or 45 days after the county auditor mails your valuation notice. Notices go out by July 22, so midnight on September 15, 2026 is the deadline for nearly everyone. If yours is mailed late, count 45 days from the mailing date and take the later date.
Weber County is strict about completeness. The county wants the finished form and all of your supporting evidence by the deadline, not a placeholder filing you finish later.
You can only appeal the current year's total market value and property characteristics as of January 1, 2026. Prior years are closed, which is one more reason not to let this season pass.
Mark the date now. Between pulling comparable sales, taking photographs, and completing the form, most homeowners need a few evenings, and everything has to be in together.
How does the Weber County appeal process work?
Appeals go to the Weber County Board of Equalization through the Clerk/Auditor's office. The BOE Clerk is Andy McRae, reachable at 801-399-8112 or BOE@webercountyutah.gov, at 2380 Washington Blvd, Suite 320 in Ogden.
- Review the market value on your valuation notice when it arrives in late July.
- Gather your evidence first. In Weber County the evidence is due with the form, so build the package before you start filing.
- Submit the completed form and evidence through the online portal, or through the Clerk/Auditor's office, by midnight September 15, 2026.
- The Board of Equalization reviews your appeal and must decide within 60 days of your application.
- If a hearing is scheduled and you have new evidence that was not in your original appeal, submit it no later than 5 days before the hearing.
- If you disagree with the board's decision, you have 30 days to appeal to the Utah State Tax Commission on form TC-194, filed with the county auditor.
What evidence do you need?
Weber County accepts three main kinds of evidence, and your filing needs at least one of them. Comparable sales should be as close to January 1, 2026 as possible and genuinely similar in size, age, style, and location.
Photographs work best when they document specific condition problems a buyer would price in, like deferred maintenance or damage the county's records have never captured. And remember the 5 day rule: anything you discover after filing must reach the board no later than 5 days before your hearing.
The accepted evidence:
- An appraisal of your property.
- Comparable sales of similar homes, as close to the January 1, 2026 valuation date as possible.
- Photographs, especially of condition issues that the county's records do not reflect.
How to read your notice: the 55 percent math
Utah's 45 percent primary residence exemption means your home is taxed on 55 percent of market value. The median Weber County home, valued at $422,000, is taxed on about $232,100.
Your appeal aims at the market value line on the notice. Cut that $422,000 by 10 percent to about $379,800 and the taxable value falls to about $208,890, so the bill drops by about 10 percent as well.
Check that the exemption appears on your notice. If your primary residence is being taxed on the full value, fixing that is a separate path that can matter as much as the appeal.
Why can your tax rise when values jump and rates fall?
Utah's Truth-in-Taxation law makes the certified tax rate float down as countywide values rise, so a 10.3 percent value jump does not automatically mean a 10.3 percent tax jump. Any entity that wants more revenue than the certified rate produces must hold an August public hearing, and in the 2025 to 2026 cycle 59 entities proposed increases with a median hike of 8.31 percent.
But the system only balances the countywide total. Your individual share depends on how your assessment compares to everyone else's.
In a year when values moved 10.3 percent on average, homes that got pushed above market carry more than their share of the burden. Showing that your value is out of line with comparable homes is how you shed it.
How much money is at stake, and is it worth appealing?
The median Weber County home is valued around $422,000 with a median bill of $2,719 at an effective rate of about 0.64 percent, the highest of the four big Wasatch Front counties. A 10 percent reduction saves roughly $272 per year.
Weber is the most affordable Wasatch Front county by sale price, with a median around $469,000. On a $469,000 home with a bill near $3,002, a 10 percent reduction is worth about $300 per year.
The higher effective rate means every dollar of over-assessment costs Weber County owners more than it would next door. Combine that with the fastest value growth of the four counties, and this is the market where a routine check of the notice pays off most.
Filing is free, the portal is live, and the board must answer within 60 days.
