Midvale City Presents FY2027 Property Tax Impact Schedule, Citing Need for Public Safety Funding
The council reviewed the fiscal year 2027 property tax impact schedule. The proposed tax increase aims to generate approximately $78,000 in new revenue, representing an 8.5% increase in the property tax rate. This would result in an additional $5.50 per year for average residential properties and $10.11 per year for commercial properties of equivalent value. The affected fund is the Public Safety Fund, and a failure to secure the tax increase would necessitate reducing the number of precinct officers by one. The schedule was presented as required by state code.
Midvale City Adopts Regulations for Homebased Micro Schools and Educational Entities
The city council considered an amendment to Title 17 of the Midvale City Municipal Code to comply with state legislation regarding homebased micro schools and micro education entities. The amendment adds definitions for these entities, establishes supplementary regulations, and allows them as permitted uses in all zones. Homebased micro schools are limited to 16 students, while micro education entities can accommodate up to 100 students and have larger parking requirements. Regulations include traffic plan reviews, minimal signage, and building code compliance. The council approved the ordinance unanimously.

It affirms Midvale City's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. All five city council members and the mayor signed the proclamation.
Midvale City Amends Zoning Code Setback Exceptions to Comply with State Law
The council considered a zoning code text amendment modifying setback exceptions in various sections of Title 17 to align with changes in Utah State Code HB476 from the 2024 general session. The amendment includes changes to definitions for residential rear setback limitations, permits landings, walkout porches, and stairs within setbacks, and explicitly permits window wells in rear yard setbacks, subject to building code standards. It also cleans up incomplete code references. The council found the amendment promotes general plan objectives, state code compliance, and clarifies existing language. The ordinance was approved unanimously.
