Is Granite School District raising my taxes?

NO, here’s why your tax notice looks like that’s happening:

  • When voters approved the 2017 Granite Bond the district promised to shift the debt levy to the capital levy when bond payments began to decrease.
  • We are now fulfilling that promise, which allows school building projects to continue.
  • Your tax notice may give the impression of an increase, but your tax rate as charged by Granite will stay the same.
  • Other factors (especially home value) may affect your tax payment, but as for your property tax rate to Granite School District, there is no net tax increase to you.

Please join us for an informational Q&A meeting on the capital levy shift and your tax notice:
