Millard County Quick Facts
Millard County Assessor Office
The Millard County Assessor is responsible for assessing all taxable real property in the county each year. Under Utah Code Title 59 Chapter 2, all taxable property must be assessed at 100% of fair market value. The assessment date is January 1. That means the value on your tax notice is based on what the property was worth at the start of the year.
Fair market value, defined in Sec. 59-2-103 of the Utah Code, is the price a willing buyer would pay a willing seller when neither is under pressure and both have full knowledge of the relevant facts. The Millard County Assessor uses sales data, property characteristic records, and cost data to reach each valuation. Records on file include lot size, building square footage, year built, and construction type. County assessors are required to physically inspect every parcel in their jurisdiction at least once every five years to keep valuations current. If you think the data on your Millard County parcel is wrong, you can contact the Assessor and ask about a correction.
The Assessor's Office is in Fillmore at the Millard County Courthouse. You can reach them online at millardcounty.org/assessor.

Appealing Your Millard County Assessment
You have the right to appeal if you believe the Millard County Assessor has set your property's value too high. The appeal process begins at the county level with the Millard County Board of Equalization. To start, you file a written request within the deadline shown on your assessment notice. The Board will schedule a hearing where you can present your case and supporting evidence.
Effective appeals rely on facts. Comparable sales in Millard County showing that similar properties sold for less than your assessed value make a strong case. An independent appraisal is another option. You can also point to errors in the property data on file with the Assessor, such as wrong square footage or wrong land area. The standard is the fair market value definition in Sec. 59-2-103: what a willing buyer and seller would agree on. If the Assessor's value does not match that standard, you have grounds to appeal. If the Board does not rule in your favor, you can carry the appeal to the State Tax Commission Property Tax Division.
