Chevron tax appeal could cost Davis County millions in refunds

Last updated Sunday, May 12, 2013 - 11:09pm

FARMINGTON — Chevron says it was overassessed personal property taxes for two years and has filed an appeal that, if successful, could cost Davis County millions of dollars in refunds.

Chevron U.S.A. Inc. claims it was overassessed when it came to its 2009 and 2010 personal property taxes on its Davis County refinery.

To defend its position in the property tax appeal, the Davis County Commission has hired an independent expert appraiser at $175 per hour to work for its side.
