If the Salt Lake City School District (a taxpayer service provider) approved a budget of $75,000 and the total taxable value of all property in the Salt Lake City School District was $15,000,000 then, if you live in that school district, the tax rate for the year would be calculated and show up on your official property tax notice as $75,000 /15,000,000 =.00500.

Please note that when property values go up the certified tax rate goes down and conversely when property values go down the certified tax rate goes up.  This method insures that all taxpayer services continue because the provider's budgets are funded.

For real property, your property tax is calculated by multiplying the taxable value of your property by that year’s tax rate for each taxing entity in your tax area.

Parcels of real property which have unpaid property taxes that have been delinquent for over four years are offered for sale according to Utah Code.
