How many Tooele homes look over-assessed?
We analysed 11,286 single-family homes and condominiums with a Tooele address that carry enough detail to compare against neighbours — an assessed value, a building area, and a named subdivision. They sit across 302 subdivisions.
3,219 of them — 28.5% — are assessed more than 5% above the median of comparable homes in their own subdivision, once building size is accounted for. Of those, 1,843 are more than 10% above.

"Tooele" here is the address city as the county records it, which follows postal rather than municipal boundaries — a few of these parcels may sit outside the city limits.
The largest subdivisions in Tooele
Comparisons are made within a subdivision, because that is the group an assessor values together. These are the largest ones here.
| Subdivision | Homes analysed | More than 5% above median |
|---|---|---|
| (None) | 1,283 | 488 (38.0%) |
| Rancho Tooele Ph 6 Am | 221 | 82 (37.1%) |
| Overlake Est Ph 1c | 204 | 81 (39.7%) |
| Overlake Est Ph 1e | 192 | 50 (26.0%) |
| Western Acres Townhomes Phase 1 | 125 | 24 (19.2%) |
Subdivision names appear exactly as Tooele County records them, abbreviations and plat numbers included — so "Amd" for amended, "Add" for addition, "Ph" or "#2" for a phase. We do not tidy them up, because the name is what you would search for in the county's own records to check a comparable.
What is the 2026 appeal deadline for Tooele?
Tooele property is assessed by Tooele County, so the appeal is filed with the county rather than the city. 15 September 2026, or 45 days after your valuation notice — whichever is later.
The later of September 15, or the last day of a 45-day period beginning the day the county auditor provides the valuation notice (Utah Code 59-2-1004(3)(a)).
The application goes to County Auditor.
Can a Tooele homeowner appeal on comparable assessments?
Equalization Ground Accepted
Yes. UT treats equalization — how your assessment compares with comparable properties — as a ground in its own right, separate from arguing what the home would sell for.
UT is a non-disclosure state: sale prices are not public record. That is why comparing assessed values is the practical route — assessed values are published for every parcel, and sale prices are not published at all.
