Proposed Property Tax Impact Schedule - FY27 Budget
To maintain current service levels, Clearfield City will consider an increase to its property
tax rate from 0.001218 to 0.001256 (estimated), generating an additional $236,500. The
following information is intended to provide decision makers and the public with an
explanation of how the City's operations would be affected by the property tax increase.
Proposed additional property tax revenue to Clearfield City $236,500
Approximate % increase to Clearfield's property tax revenue 6.7%
Approximate annual increase in property tax paid to Clearfield City for the average residence $23 (6.7%)
Approximate annual increase in property tax paid to Clearfield City for the average commercial property $41.81 (6.7%)
The proposed tax increase is intended to maintain current levels of service. Without the tax increase, the level of service to the public would decrease as outlined and articulated below. It should be noted that the Clearfield City Council intended to increase the property tax rate for the FY26 budget (approximately $19 for the average residence), but that increase was rejected by the Utah State Tax Commission, and was not implemented.
