Fair Check Utah
Utah property tax appeals
2026 appeals close September 15. After that, the county's number stands for the year.

The county's number is not final.

Every July, your county mails you a value for your home and taxes you on it. If that value is higher than what your home would really sell for, you are overpaying, and you will keep overpaying every year until someone appeals it. We check whether that is happening to you, free, with real sale prices the county cannot see.

Check my home free

Free to check. You see numbers before you spend a dollar. Most checks come back the same day.

You see real numbers before you pay

The check is free and the answer is honest, both ways. About one home in ten has a case worth filing. Here is exactly what you see, depending on which side your home lands on.

If your home qualifies
Your estimated savings over the next five years: a real dollar band, before you pay anything.

We tell you what we estimate the appeal is worth if we file for you, as a five-year band. A $250 per year correction is roughly $1,250 over five years, because the fix carries forward. The full evidence and the value range arrive inside your packet.

Then you pick: $199 and we handle everything, or $49 and you file it yourself.
If your home does not qualify
The value range the evidence supports, free, so you can see why.

If recent sales support the county's number, we show you the range and tell you straight: an appeal would very likely change nothing. No pitch, no pressure. Most homes land here, and hearing that costs you nothing.

Still want to swing? The same packet, half off at $25, with our honest verdict in writing on page one.

One correction, five years of savings

Property tax mistakes compound. The county builds next year's value on top of this year's, so a high number left alone keeps costing you. Fixing it once resets the base.

If an appeal saves you
$250 per year
$1,250
estimated over the next five years

Why the fix sticks. Utah law has a name for a home that wins its appeal: qualified real property. If the county wants to raise a corrected value beyond normal market growth without physical changes to your home, the burden of proof is on the assessor, not on you.

So this is a one-time fix with a five-year tail, and the numbers above are why one flat fee makes sense. No percentages, no subscription, no cut of your savings.

The $49 buys the evidence. The $199 buys the argument. And the argument is what wins hearings.

One signature from you. We do the rest.
The small print, in plain words: Estimated savings, not guaranteed. The final number is the county's call. Our guarantee is simpler: if we file for you and you get no reduction at all, your $199 comes back in full. File it yourself and there is no guarantee.

Told you don't qualify, but want to try anyway?

We will not sell you the $199 service on a case we do not believe in. But it is your home and your right to appeal. If we say no case, you can still take the same $49 packet at half off, $25 flat, with our honest verdict in writing on the first page and the value range that explains it. If you believe the value is lower than our evidence shows, the opinion of value is yours to choose.

From the written argument ($199 tier)

Why the assessment overstates the value

The county's 2026 value works out to $225 per square foot. Four sales of comparable homes in the same subdivision closed between September 2025 and January 2026 at $195 to $204 per square foot, each within a quarter mile of the subject and within 10 percent of its size. Applied to this home's county-recorded 2,405 square feet, the sales evidence supports a value of…

Built to answer fast

The check runs on county records and recent sale data, start to finish. No waiting on a callback from someone with a calendar. Most checks come back the same day, and you can see the steps as they happen.

Pulling your county record

Assessed value, square footage, lot, year built, straight from the county.

Pulling recent sales around you

Actual closed prices of comparable homes, the evidence Utah counties ask for.

Running the numbers

The same value model we test against real sales, county by county.

Your answer

You qualify with an estimated savings band, or the number is fair and we say so.

Why most people never appeal

The county will never call to say your value looks high. The window is six weeks in late summer, the form asks for evidence most homeowners cannot get, and sale prices in Utah are not public record. So most over-assessed homes stay that way, year after year.

homes we screen show a value the sales evidence does not support. Most homes are assessed fairly, and we say so.

typical annual tax savings on a successful Utah residential appeal, recurring every year.

Sept 15

the statutory deadline. Miss it and this year's value locks in, no matter how wrong it is.

The guarantee, in plain words

It lives on the $199 tier, and only there, because that is the tier where we control the work.

Pay $199, and if the county's final decision gives you no reduction at all, you get the full $199 back. A partial reduction counts as a win, because it saves you money every year from now on.

We verify every outcome against the county's own record, and we send you the result either way, with the math on what you are saving.

Fair questions

Is this legal?
Yes. Utah law lets you appoint a representative for your appeal with a signed authorization, and Utah Code 59-2-1017 specifically provides for price estimates and sales evidence prepared for property tax appeals. Counties publish the exact forms we use.
Why would I pay $199 instead of $49?
The $49 packet gives you every fact: the comps, the range, the prefilled forms, and a worksheet telling you where to write what. What it does not include is the argument itself, the recommended number, the filing, or the guarantee. County reviewers read hundreds of appeals; a case argued in their own terms, filed clean and tracked to a decision, is what the $199 buys. It is also the only tier where a total loss costs you nothing.
Will I have to go to a hearing?
Almost never. Most appeals resolve at the county's review stage on the written evidence. If a hearing is ever needed, we prepare everything and tell you exactly what to expect.
I just bought my home. Is it worth checking?
Especially then. If you paid less than the county's value, your own closing statement is the strongest evidence there is, and the county's rules accept it directly.
Does a lower assessment hurt me when I sell?
No. Buyers and appraisers use market comparables, not the county's tax value. A lower assessment just means a smaller tax bill while you own the home.
What does it cost if I do not qualify?
Nothing, and you still learn something: we show you the value range the evidence supports, so you can see the county's number is fair rather than taking our word for it.
How do I know how it turned out?
The county mails a written decision, and the final value becomes public record. We track both and report the result either way. On the $199 tier, no reduction means an automatic full refund.
