The Malad Property Tax Assessment Reform Bill changes how county assessors calculate residential values by extending the interval between full revaluations from three years to five years. The measure applies to all properties in Malad County and takes effect for the next scheduled round of assessments.

State budget documents show the reform responds to staffing shortages in county offices that delayed 2025 valuations for thousands of parcels. The legislation requires assessors to use 2026 market data when they resume full reviews in 2027 rather than attempting rushed updates this year.

Effects on Malad Households

Homeowners in the West Malad neighborhood and along the river corridor will continue paying taxes based on 2023 valuations until new notices arrive in early 2028. Renters may see indirect adjustments if landlords recalculate lease rates once the new assessments reach property owners. Local businesses operating from mixed-use buildings will also face the same delayed timeline for any changes in their tax obligations.

The state budget office projects the reform will cover 45,000 residential parcels in Malad County during the 2027 cycle. County records indicate that 12,800 of those parcels last received a full valuation in 2023 and would have faced review this year under the prior schedule.

Next Steps for Implementation

County assessors must complete training on the new valuation software by December 2026. Public information sessions on the revised process are scheduled for September at the Malad City Hall auditorium. Property owners can request informal reviews of their current assessments through an online portal that opens in August.

Final tax bills incorporating the 2027 data will be mailed in February 2028, with payments due in two installments that same year. The legislation requires annual interim updates using building permit data to capture major improvements before the next full cycle.
