Park City Property Tax Appeals – $13.9M Saved in 2025

Wayne Levinson provides property tax appeal services at no cost to property owners. There are no fees, no commissions, and no hidden charges. This service is completely free regardless of the outcome.

The appeal process itself through the Summit County Board of Equalization has no filing fees. You have nothing to lose by appealing your property assessment.

The deadline to file a property tax appeal with the Summit County Board of Equalization is September 15th. Appeals must be submitted by this date to be considered for the current tax year.

The Board of Equalization begins accepting appeals on August 1st. Assessment notices are mailed to property owners by May 1st each year.

Missing the September 15th deadline means you must wait until the next assessment cycle to appeal. It's important to act early to ensure your appeal is filed on time.

Savings vary based on your property's current assessment and actual market value. In 2025, Wayne Levinson achieved $13.9 million in total assessment reductions across all client properties.

For high-value properties over $6 million, annual tax savings of $11,000 or more are possible when significant overassessments are corrected. Even moderate assessment reductions can result in thousands of dollars in annual tax savings.

The exact savings depend on factors including your property's assessed value, comparable sales data, market conditions, and the evidence supporting your appeal.

Any property owner in Summit County who believes their property assessment is incorrect can file an appeal. This includes owners of:

• Primary residences
• Second homes and vacation properties
• Investment properties
• Properties in all Park City neighborhoods including Deer Valley, Old Town, Canyons Village, Promontory, and throughout Summit County

Property owners can represent themselves or authorize a representative like Wayne Levinson to file and present the appeal on their behalf.

The Summit County Board of Equalization (BOE) is a quasi-judicial body appointed by the County Council to hear property tax appeals. The Board consists of three members who review evidence and testimony to determine if property assessments are accurate.

The Board holds formal hearings where property owners or their representatives present evidence showing why an assessment should be reduced. The County Assessor may also present their position.

The Board's decision is binding for the current tax year. If you disagree with their decision, you can appeal to the Utah State Tax Commission within 30 days.

No, you do not need to attend the hearing in person. When Wayne Levinson represents you, he attends the Board of Equalization hearing on your behalf and presents all evidence and arguments.

You are welcome to attend if you wish, but most clients prefer to let Wayne handle the hearing while they focus on their daily activities. Wayne has extensive experience presenting cases to the Board and knows what evidence is most persuasive.

The entire process requires minimal effort from you—just provide your property information initially, and Wayne handles everything else.

The complete property tax appeal process typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to receiving a decision.

Here's the timeline:

• August 1 - September 15: Filing period for appeals
• Fall/Winter: Board of Equalization schedules and conducts hearings
• 30-60 days after hearing: Board issues written decision

If your appeal is successful, the reduced assessment applies to your current tax year, resulting in immediate savings on your property tax bill.

Successful property tax appeals require substantial evidence to support your case. Wayne Levinson gathers and prepares all necessary documentation, including:

• Comparable sales data: Recent sales of similar properties in your area
• Market analysis: Current market conditions and pricing trends specific to your neighborhood
• Assessment records: Your property's assessment history and building records
• Property condition: Documentation of any issues affecting value
• Professional analysis: AI-driven CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) review
