Cache County Quick Facts
Cache County Assessor's Office
The Cache County Assessor's Office is responsible for appraising all taxable real property in the county. Its main goal is to determine the market value of each parcel through the appraisal process. Market value is defined as the amount a willing buyer would pay a willing seller, which aligns with the standard in Sec. 59-2-103 of the Utah Code. This reflects the price a property owner would accept if they chose to sell at arm's length. The appraisal's effective date is January 1 each year, and the Assessor uses sales data and property characteristics to reach that value.
Cache County property records held by the Assessor include data on residential, commercial, agricultural, and vacant land parcels. Property characteristics are reviewed on a regular cycle to keep assessments current. Under state law, assessors must physically inspect and review every property in their jurisdiction at least once every five years. For Cache County parcels, this means the Assessor's records reflect real field data, not just desk estimates. You can contact the Assessor's Office at cachecounty.org/assessor at the Cache County Administration Building in Logan.
The Assessor's Office page shows how Cache County values property, what records are on file, and how to contact staff for help with your specific parcel.
The Cache County Assessor maintains detailed property records for every taxable parcel in the county and handles valuation appeals through the Board of Equalization.

How Cache County Property Taxes Are Calculated
Cache County property taxes follow the statewide three-step calculation. First, the Assessor determines the market value of the property as of January 1. Second, the assessment ratio is applied to reach the assessed value. Third, levy rates from all taxing districts that cover the parcel are multiplied against the assessed value to reach the annual tax amount.
Utah's 45% primary residence exemption reduces the taxable base for owner-occupied homes. That means only 55% of a Cache County primary residence's value is taxed. On a median Cache County home valued at $180,300, the exemption makes a real difference. The median annual tax in Cache County is $942, and the effective rate is 0.52%. That rate is below the state average, making Cache County relatively affordable from a property tax standpoint compared to many other Utah counties.
Tax rates in Cache County are set by multiple entities: the county, school districts, Logan City if the parcel is within city limits, and various special districts. Each entity sets its own levy. The total of those levies, applied to the taxable assessed value, produces your Cache County tax bill. The Truth in Taxation process requires public notice and hearings if any entity wants to increase its revenues above the prior year level.

Appealing Your Cache County Assessment
Cache County property owners who disagree with their assessed value have the right to appeal through the Board of Equalization. You file a written request for review within the deadline set each year, and the Board schedules a hearing. At the hearing, you present evidence that your property's market value should be lower than what the Assessor determined.
Useful evidence includes comparable sales of similar Cache County properties that sold for less than your assessed value, or a private appraisal. The standard is the fair market value definition in Sec. 59-2-103 of the Utah Code. If the Assessor's value exceeds what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in the current market, you have a basis to appeal. The State Tax Commission Property Tax Division is available if a county-level appeal does not resolve the issue. The Utah State Tax Commission maintains oversight over the county assessment process statewide, including in Cache County.
