Hey everyone, welcome back to another week of news here on Summit in Six. Today we are going to give some updates on the fire danger level in Summit County, a reminder to look out for your Notice of Valuation from the County Auditor’s Office, and some community engagement opportunities perfect for all, including Summit County’s annual concert.
Let’s get into the news!
Fire Danger
Summit County’s Fire Danger Level has moved to HIGH as of yesterday August 15, 2024. There are no active wildfires in Summit County at this time.
Even though we’ve moved from extreme fire conditions to high, its important we continue to practice fire sense and follow local fire restriction orders. In Summit County, that means the use of any kind of fireworks, tracer ammunition, or exploding targets is prohibited on unincorporated and state land within the county.
As always you can Text SCFIREINFO (all one word, all caps) to 888777 for updates on Summit County fire outlook, conditions, prescribed burns & more.
Notice of Valuation Statement
Summit County Residents should keep an eye out for your Notice of Valuation statement which is sent through the mail by the Auditor’s Office annually on or before August 1st.
There is a 45-day window of opportunity to review your property. As the taxpayer, you should be watching for market changes and whether your property is coded correctly, and receiving any exemptions that may be available.
If you have questions on property valuation info you can visit summitcountyassessor.org and if you have any questions on how to appeal your property’s value through the Board of Equalization you can visit summitcounty.info/boe
