Millions of dollars will be generated by a property tax increase in South Salt Lake and the mayor says the money will go directly into police and fire departments within the city. AprilBakertv
South Salt Lake residents saw a 67 percent increase, according to a city document obtained by FOX 13 News. It translates to an almost $300 price hike for a home worth $397,000. While it’s among the highest rate increases in the state, the city hasn’t touched property taxes since 2006.
In the last year, South Salt Lake City Police has struggled to sufficiently staff its force. Police Chief Jack Carruth attributes it to neighboring municipalities that are offering more competitive salaries to officers. The money will also allow them to hire six new officers, which will help ensure officers’ ongoing participation in lesser-known areas of public safety such as Promise South Salt Lake.
Since its inception 10 years ago, the city has reported a 71 percent decrease in juvenile arrests between 3 p.m.-6 p.m.
