Logan

The Logan Municipal Council set the property tax rate at 0.001473 in June 2020, 0.001290 in June 2021, 0.001064 in June 2022 and 0.000922 in 2025. [1][2][3][4]

The minutes describe the 2020, 2021 and 2022 rates as not a tax increase. The 2025 rate was a 2.9 percent increase, about $7.69 a year for an average residence and about $518,000 in total, according to the minutes. [1][2][3][4][5]

The 2026 rate

On Aug. 11, 2026, the council held a Truth in Taxation hearing on a rate of 0.001085, which the county advertisement listed as an increase of about 22.95 percent. The rate raises about $1.36 million: $1,174,300 for Fire Station 73 operations, $131,086 for a police officer and $54,614 for street lighting utility fees. [6]

The minutes put the average impact at about $59 a year on a $530,000 home and about $108 a year on a business of the same value, and say Cache County reduced its general levy by about $1.37 million. The Herald Journal reported the council passed the increase that day. [6][7]
