Sweetwater Fire Victims To Request A Tax Abatement

RANDOLPH, Utah. June 4, 2014.  Kim Wilson, Assessor, said that the house that burned down on Sweetwater Hillside this spring will be taxed for the entire year a its value at January 1, 2014 unless there is an abatement meeting with the county commission.  Right now if there is natural disaster a homeowner can get an exemption, but not a fire or other disaster.  Technically the value should be there as of Jan 1.  

Wilson said that Morgan County and Cache County abates the taxes to the point of damage, and that Rich County should adopt that.  Wilson has talked to the owners who have said that they want to build it back exactly as it was, since it was new construction.
