Logan council tentatively approves 22.88 percent property tax rate increase offset by county fire levy cut, reports say
June 16, 2026, 5:30 p.m.
The Herald Journal reported that the Logan Municipal Council voted unanimously on June 16 to tentatively approve a property tax increase of 22.88 percent, which raises about $1.36 million for Fire Station 73 operations, a police officer and street lighting and is offset by a reduction in Cache County's fire-related levy. The posted agenda also listed a tentative $222,136,462 budget, council salary schedules and rezones. The official minutes document posted by the city contains agenda text, so other results are not yet confirmed.

Tentative property tax rate above the certified rate, Resolution 26-18 (public hearing)
Approved
The council tentatively approved a rate of 0.001085 for 2026, which would raise about $1,360,000: $1,174,300 for Fire Station 73 operations in northwest Logan, $131,086 for a police officer and $54,614 for street lighting utility costs. Cache County reduced its general levy for fire service, so amounts paid to the county for fire would instead go to the city. Finance Director Richard Anderson said a $530,000 home would see $59 shift from the county line to the city line. Chair Johnson said Station 73 is expected to be built within two years. The Herald Journal reported the vote was unanimous but gave no tally.
