Tax Relief

Utah County administers several tax relief programs as authorized by the Utah State Legislature. Individuals that qualify for one or more of these programs could see a minor to significant reduction of their property taxes.

All tax relief programs, except for the Disabled Veteran/Killed in Action exemption, require a new application be submitted every year to qualify.

Apply for Tax Relief

You can apply for property tax relief through Utah County's online portal, which requires creating an account. Disabled Veterans can also use this portal to apply for vehicle exemptions.

Apply Online

If you are uncomfortable with or unable to use the online application system, use the “REQUEST PAPER APPLICATION” button to request the Tax Administration office email/mail you an application. You will need to print out/fill out this application and email/mail it back or drop it off to the Tax Administration office in Provo. Both the physical/mailing and email addresses are listed at the top of the application.
