Welcome
to the Davis County Assessor's Office. The Assessor's office
is charged with numerous responsibilities, both
administrative and statutory. Our primary duty is to make
sure all real property within our jurisdiction is assessed
except where the law provides otherwise. This includes
residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural
property. Real property is revalued every two years. The
effective date of the assessment is the first day of January
of the current year. The assessor determines either a full
or partial value for new construction and improvements
depending upon the state of completion on January 1st. The
Assessor does not collect taxes, calculate taxes, or
determine the tax rate. The Assessor is concerned with
value, not taxes.
The County Assessor is appointed to their position by a
conference board consisting of the members of the Board of
Supervisors, the Mayors of all incorporated cities, and a
member from each school district within the jurisdiction
provided they live in the jurisdiction. The assessor is
required, by statute, to pass a state examination and
complete a continuing education program consisting of 150
hours of formal classroom instruction with 90 hours tested
and 60 hours non-tested to be completed for each six-year
term.
