SCHEDULED ITEMS:
1. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION ON THE PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE (PTIS)
BACKGROUND: Utah Code Annotated § 59-2-919(4) requires the City to present a proposed property tax impact schedule as defined in Utah Code Annotated § 59-2-924 as a separate item on the agenda to clearly communicate to the public for what the additional property tax will pay. For the FY27 Budget, staff recommends that Clearfield's property tax be increased by approximately $233,106-an approximate 6.5% increase. The PTIS provides additional explanation for the specific items that will be tied to this additional property tax revenue. These numbers are subject to change prior to adoption.
Important context is that for the FY26 Budget, the Clearfield City Council followed the truth-in-taxation process then in place to increase the property tax by about $196,000. In September 2025, the Utah State Tax Commission rejected the tax increase, based on a technicality, and given that a new provision in the law removed the Commission's discretion on whether or not to approve a tax increase. Therefore, the $233,106 for FY27 is inclusive of (not in addition to) the $196,000 from FY26. Moreover, the tax increase is needed in order to maintain a status quo budget. In other words, service levels are not being enhanced. Rather, without the additional revenue, service levels would decline. This is due to slower growth in sales tax revenue and the slowdown in development-related activity.
RECOMMENDATION: Proceed to the next agenda item.
2. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 2026R-14 ADOPTING THE PROPOSED TAX RATE FOR REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 2026R-14 setting the proposed tax rate for real and personal property tax for fiscal year 2027 and authorize the mayor's signature to any necessary documents.
