At the truth in taxation meeting at the City Council meeting Thursday night, the council unanimously voted to adopt the 2026 certified tax rate for fiscal year 2027 as well as the final fiscal year 2027 budget.

The City of Kaysville had proposed increasing its property tax revenue by 14.12%.

For a $711,000 residence, that means an increase from $543.56 to $620.21, which is $76.65 per year. For a $711,000 business, that means an increase from $988.29 to $1,127.65, which is $139.36 per year.

The city is set to receive an additional $802,910 in property tax revenue due to the increase.

“I’m very proud of our council and our staff and our departments because we all worked together to get it as close as we could,” Tran told the Standard-Examiner. “There’s certain things we can’t control. We can’t control the fact that we don’t have a larger commercial base and that inflation is so high, but I’m so grateful for the collaborative efforts of the council, the directors, the accounting department and the residents also for the input.”
